   Went there on 7th Nov, most things were closed which (due to them preparing for fireworks) we weren't told about it just told they closed early today, I asked at the desk and the staff wasn't aware things were closed?! Equipment is very old and lots of broken things, could do with a complete overhaul safety nets had holes in etc. I can see this place used to be good but definitely needs money reinvestment now, lots todo there if it's all open unfortunately for us it was not.

   My grandson loves Conkers, both inside & outside activities! The staff are lovely, the Halloween decorations were fab and, even on a cold October day, we spent 3 hours in the playgrounds, on the train & in the Enchanted Forest inside. Our annual ticket costs £63, as my grandson lives in the National Forest & that gave us a £7 discount - he lives 20 mins away, so we can dip in & out all year. Well worth it!

   We visited this place recently, and my son said it’s his favourite attraction so far! It truly offers something for everyone – from young kids to adults. There’s a lot of walking involved, but it’s well worth it. We enjoyed a variety of activities including a train ride, a maze, climbing areas, a 4D cinema, and several fantastic play zones. There’s so much to explore that you could easily spend the whole day there without getting bored. We had some food on-site and were pleasantly surprised by the quality – it was much better than we expected for an attraction like this. The ice creams, in particular, were excellent and a real highlight for my son. One small downside was that my son wanted to ride his bike during the visit, but unfortunately bikes are not allowed inside. It’s understandable for safety and space reasons, but worth knowing in advance. Overall, the tickets were very reasonably priced considering how many attractions are included. It felt like great value for money. We had a brilliant time and will definitely go back one day – there's still more to see and do!

   We visited today with our toddler son and had a nice day out. Despite the car park being nearly full, we didn’t have to queue to get in, which was a great start. The staff were friendly on arrival, gave us a map, and invited us to watch a short 15-minute film at the cinema — included in the entry price. We paid £24 for two adults, and our toddler got in for free. The highlight for our little one was definitely the train ride, which we used to get to the play park. The outdoor play area is spacious and well-equipped, though we felt it was more geared toward older children. There were a few bits for toddlers, but not a huge amount. We also explored the indoor play area, which again seemed better suited for slightly older kids. We enjoyed walking the nature trail, crossing the wobbly bridge, and strolling by the lake — all really lovely and peaceful. The sandpit was another fun stop for our toddler. Overall, it’s a large and reasonably priced place to visit. While we probably wouldn’t rush back with a toddler, it might be a better fit for families with children aged 5 and up. Still, it was a pleasant day out with lots of fresh air and space to explore.

   Brilliant place to take the torts, that aren't quite tall enough for theme parks. They have a large indoor and outdoor play area and Discovery Centre, a large lake and wilderness to walk around. lots of outdoor activities that that are paid extras. They have two sites, both have cafes and lots of seating area for picnics, there is a train ride between the two sites, or you can walk 10 minutes. large car park, friendly staff, toilets are clean. most of the site is pushchair and wheelchair accessible friendly, they have lifts to the upper levels of the play areas. We did the fireworks event (extra charge) and it was a brilliant evening, the kids can play, lots if food stalls and a few kids funfair rides, but the queues were quite long. Fireworks are a fantastic display.

   We have a season pass, so We go regularly...it's a great afternoon out with the kids. The place is huge, and there is hours of outdoor fun to be had. The inside play area is great too!

   Great place for families, price is reasonable. Parking is free and only short walk to entrance. Plenty of play areas suitable for kids under 10 years old. The 4D cinema was a great experience. Worth a visit. There are regular shows taking place in the amphitheatre.

   We had an amazing day out at Conkers. We were there the whole day but couldn't quite manage to do everything that they have to offer. Highlights were the splash park, the barefoot muddy walk and the activity trail. The activity trail was brilliant as there were things for both my 3 and 6 year old to do and it kept them both challenged. There are also lovely walks to explore. Also highly recommend the 4D cinema - it was so much fun! We ate lunch there in the cafe. Couldn't fault the food or the service. They also have a great indoor museum where kids can learn all about animals, the environment and the importance of looking after our planet.

   Wonderful place to visit. Plenty to do. Barefoot walk is always fun and cold haha. The train ride to the waterside is free so any kids who loves trains can go on as much as they like. You can book activities at reception if you want to to the high rope climbing, archer and pedalos to name a few. Nice walks around and the fun of the adventure trail where there is plenty to climb on..
