“Fed the ducks in a beautiful setting. Stress free we walked around the pond. :)”

“Lovely. A bit muddy so need you wellingtons on. Very relaxing walk”

“Leave heritage buildings alone if you don't appreciate heritage.”

“We travelled from the Midlands to take my wife's nan who lives in Reading to Beale Park as she has always wanted to go. It was well worth the 5 hours of driving. The place has plenty of parking and was spotless inside. The staff were all really helpful and cheery. Lots of lovely places to sit and eat. All the pathways are nice for a wheelchair too. Plenty of animals and well maintained gardens to look at. We liked the fact that you just go round in two big loops so no dead ends to get lost in. We all had a great time thank you. Only thing is that when we go out to a place as a family we get a fridge magnet and you didn't have any with your place name on. Shame we don't live closer as we would deffo return for another visit.”

“Nice place to take in the fresh air or walk the dog, cricket club/loose ends (hot meals daily for those in need, food bank and essential clothing sleeping bags etc for homeless individuals) I believe they may take clothing/food donations”

“What an incredible hidden gem. This nature walk offers a pleasant mix of waterside scenery, meadowland, and woodland edges. The bird watching is fantastic with nature stops along the way. A big lake that supports both wildlife and recreational use.There is free parking also on Swan Lane which has plenty of spaces.”

“Nice park. Lots of free parking. Has playground, sports field and lake.”

“California Country Park is a true gem. Nestled in 100 acres of rich woodland and heathland, it offers a wonderful blend of natural beauty and well-thought-out family facilities that make it a standout choice. A Beautiful Place for a Walk The park's landscape is its main attraction. The central feature is the stunning Longmoor Lake, around which a gentle, accessible path of just under a mile provides a beautiful and easy walk for all ages and abilities. The route is perfect for pushchairs and offers lovely views across the water, where you can spot swans, ducks, and other birdlife. For those wanting a longer stroll, the 2.2-mile Woodland Walk takes you through ancient woodland and across a boardwalk over Longmoor Bog, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This trail feels like a real escape into nature, with rare mosses and plants creating a serene atmosphere. Excellent for Kids & Family Time This is where the park truly shines for families. The adventure play area is fantastic, modern, and engaging. It's split into two main sections: * The Sensory Garden: Aimed at younger children, this area features creative water play sections, a colourful pirate ship, musical chimes, and gentle climbing frames. * The Wild Wood: Designed for older, more adventurous kids, this part includes a fantastic large wooden treehouse, climbing structures, a zip line, and swings. During the warmer months, the paddling pool is an enormous hit (booking is usually required). With ample space for picnics and Jacksons Café on-site offering delicious food and drinks with a view of the lake, you can comfortably spend the entire day here. Relaxed Family Fishing For those looking to introduce their kids to fishing, Longmoor Lake is ideal. It is a well-stocked coarse fishery, offering a relaxed and picturesque environment. You can expect to catch species like roach, perch, tench, and even some good-sized carp and pike. It’s perfect for pleasure fishing from one of the 33 designated swims.”

“This is a great place for a family day out, reasonable ticket price. Clean soft play area suitable for kids between 6-10 years old. Animals barn , tractor trailer, bouncing pillow and the whole park is huge! There is food counter as well, the price is reasonable in terms of a theme park. Last but not least, the staff are so friendly and you can see they keep empty the rubbish bins to keep the place tidy and clean.”

“Very good for family's cafe there swings tennis courts basketball court football court for bigger kids as well as bigger park fun also have Woods and a rover there so just good to take animals as well”

“On arrival a beautiful entrance, we stayed in our own campervan so I can’t comment on chalets. We arrived at 18.30 and reception was closed , the gate code allowed us access , and our pitch was easy to find , each pitch is beautifully marked with a very clear number so there is no confusion, on what’s yours .Site is well maintained, and although there was work in progress, we feel that this can only improve a lovely site with a fantastic lake , walks children’s play area pet and cycle friendly.”

“Great place for dog walking. If done correctly your dog gets clean in the ponds that contain reasonably clean water.”

“My boys had a wonderful time at rush. Really enjoyed their 2 hour session around the various activities in the area. It wasn't too busy which was pleasant experience. The cafe area is situated in a great spot overlooking the arena from the top, so you could keep an eye on the kids, yet away from the noise. Could improve some of the seating area, however didn't really impact my experience. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, especially Iqra, she jells really well with the children and adults alike, she is an asset to Rush. Overall, a good experience, so Well done to the Rush Team for offering a fab time for my family. Keep it up.”

“My son had a fantastic time today at Lagoona Park. He had lots of fun on the floats. The lifeguards and other staff were very friendly. The place was very clean. There were lots of sitting areas for customers. Wonderful place. We spent the afternoon sitting outside with our picnic. We had a fabulous time.”

“A nicely located pub just in the heart of Prospect Park. The place has plenty of free parking (don’t forget to register at check in). The menu is quite ‘suculent’ with lots of options and nicely cooked food (not a fish ‘n’ chip bar). The view is great over the park with a quiet ambiance. You can have salad as much as you like which is a vegan’s paradise. Waiting time for taking the order is a bit long but quite polite so doesn’t feel rushed in any way. Book and enjoy a nice lunch or dinner with family, friends or just on your own.”

“Amazing experience. The Staff were so helpful. Very good place to take the family. I do recommend booking online as it's very difficult to book anything there as staff are understandably busy looking after the safety of everyone and running the place very well.”

“I would like to thank all at JumpIn Camberley. My wife booked a session for our 13 year old son's birthday and 4 friends. Lucy and Leah couldnt do enough for the boys, ensuring they all had socks, knew what to do. When it came to food and drinks again they made them all very happy, including going to extra mile to get the slushie requested.”

“Love this place, been coming since i was a kid. Lovely walk around. Very dog friendly..shame dog mess isn't always picked up but thats on the individual owners not the park itself as there are plenty of specific dog poo bins available. Great park for kids where dogs arent allowed in.”

“I enjoyed walking around the park and there are coffee and food vans on the way around with tables and chairs that you can sit at.”

“Ny kids have the most enjoyable time at this soft play the manager always welcomes us with the kindest warmest smile. The soft play is so clean. Whilst my children enjoy a run around I always enjoy my hot beverages and jacket potato made by Tracey she’s so friendly and one of the reasons I always find myself coming back to this soft play”

“It was my daughter’s birthday, and there were 24 of us in total. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy, and although we waited around 10 minutes, we were seated surprisingly quickly. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. I’ve never seen a team work so hard and so respectfully — every single staff member was giving 100%. Full credit to the manager for putting together such a wonderful and professional team. Highly recommended!”

“Atmospheric night-time walk to my local supermarket - add full moon & werewolves to complete”

“A joyful end-of-year celebration at Chineham Splash Park! We visited Chineham Splash Park today to mark the end of the academic year, and it was the perfect setting for children to have fun and unwind. The weather was just right—warm enough to enjoy the water without the intense heat of the sun. Overall, Chineham Splash Park is not just a fun day out for children—it’s a reminder of how vibrant and supportive a community can be. Highly recommended for families looking for connection, play, and joy.”

“Food is very good, all freshly prepared. Portions are on the large side so good if you are hungry but not if looking for a light bite.”

“Amazing experience. So much choice for the heartbeat Teddy, all staff that we interacted with were so lovely and chatty. They were all very good at keeping the gender secret and even going the extra lengths to get us a gender teddy but still keeping it a secret by sealing the bags. Great experience.”

“Ibtisam was fantastic to deal with! My family and I visited the shop to order a Calligaris dining table, and he was incredibly patient with all our questions. He spent good quality time with us, making sure we were 100% happy with our choice. The service was professional, friendly, and very reassuring throughout the process. I really appreciated his knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication to making the experience smooth. Highly recommend Ibtisam to anyone looking for a great dining table, truly excellent service!”
