Lanterns of the wild - Incredible! We had an amazing time, no loud music so it was perfect for our son that is sensitive to loud noises. Very organised, no waiting around in queues other than for food and drinks but thats to be expected. A few places to warm up. Clear route with so many photo opportunities you'll fill your camera. We will definitely be going again. Worth the money for sure.

Really disappointed. No paper packs to stamp on the way round. Lots of the area were broken. The play area was rubbish and not Gruffalo themed. They could make this amazing but it didn’t feel like it.

I originally gave this 3/5 stars however a year later and I'm changing it to 1.
Unfortunately this place has been left to rot which is such a shame and a shock considering it's a relatively new experience.
Around 20% of the interactive animatronics actually work (if you're lucky). We've visited several times throughout the year as members and this is still the case. Instead of anything being fixed they've put "sorry for the inconvenience" signs throughout the area.
The gruffalo land no longer looks like it gets cleaned. The floors inside are filthy as well as the walls.
We have a two year old and we now try to avoid this entire area when we visit the zoo as it just makes him cry when he goes to press the buttons and nothing works.
Granted, this isn't entirely the fault of the zoo. For example a lot of the animatronic mice have been snapped off and stolen, buttons have been damaged etc. However, this is a pretty new experience and surely should be under some sort of warranty to get these things repaired? A year later, nothing. It's as if they've given up on the area all together. If you check their socials you'll notice they haven't even advertised the gruffalo land for well over 6 months.
If you're considering visiting twycross zoo specifically for the gruffalo land, honestly don't bother.

We did enjoy our visit here, we travelled quite a way and stayed the night as part of a Christmas present. The Gruffalo experience looks like the real deal, but it was a shame that about 3 of the interactive areas were not working. I did contact management about this and they said it was due to adverse weather. The children loved it nevertheless

Took 3 year old to Gruffalo Land and its definitely worth the visit. The whole experience is amazing. Cafe probably need to more variety for veg options or fish.

Took my son for his birthday because he is mad on the gruffalo. We were extremely disappointed to find that most of the interactive areas don't work which ruins the continuity of the story and the overall experience. The decor, trail and buildings are nice but I think I'll skip this attraction on our next visit.

Didn't expect much, as some gruffalo trails are not amazing, but we loved it. A mixture of interactive and animatronic displays. Would recommend.

The attraction itself was a great idea but has a lot more potential than what is currently there. The whole story builds up to seeing the Gruffallo, which then doesn't really do anything compared to meeting the other characters, I was expecting a bit more of an impressive ending. My 3 year old loved the experience of walking round a forest like path and interacting with each area, although there was only one button. So children either have to wait a long time, be lucky to be first, or miss out interacting with each area. The entertainers who put on a little show weren't very enthusiastic, just reeled off some facts about animals, the short choreographed dance was ok and engaged some of the audience. The huge let down was the prices of the gift shop, easily three times that of the zoo gift shop. A set of small Gruffallo characters was £40! Compared to exact set in Argos for £18, understandbly we stopped on the way home to pick up a gift for my child. I understand upping the price slightly, but WOW! Overall, I'd only take my girl again If I lived closer, the toilets were more accessible for toddlers and I had a voucher of some sort.
