Water park in Mansfield

“A fantastic campsite right in the middle of sherwood forest. Very clean facilities, well kept and organised. A nice park for kids to use and plenty of space for them to run aroundand play. Can bike or walk straight into the woods. Just under 10 minute drive to the major oak. Would definitely recommend.”

“We had such a great day here! tons of exciting slides as well as a fun obstacle course. What really made it special was the paddle boarding! Right next to the water park where you can rent paddle boards. It was the perfect way to wind down after all the water park excitement. The water was calm, the scenery was peaceful, and it was such a fun activity for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. Only “downside” is if you don’t have a car it’s a 40 minute walk from the nearest bus stop but if you enjoy walking it should be no problem! It’s rare to find a place that combines both high-energy water park fun with something more relaxing like paddle boarding — we loved both and would definitely come back. Highly recommended for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a full day of water activities!”

“Love walking at Poulter. Loads of paths to choose from and some beautiful views. Usually really quiet and so peaceful”

“A wonderful green space in Mansfield. Immaculately kept. A popular cafe next to the Boules clubhouse The thriving boules club is amazing. Wonderful friendly group who are happy to include new comers With six terrains where they play in league games and competitions are very good. Long may it last. IThank you all for making my brother and me so welcome”

“Visited with our 2 children (5 and 8) and did 1 night Eat, Sleep and Play which was excellent value. We had a great couple of days and the Pixie Pod was absolutely brilliant. The rides were perfect for the children’s ages. Husband and eldest child paid extra for Archery in the morning which they really enjoyed. The instructor was really friendly and would definitely recommend taking part in this if you can. Would have liked a little longer for check out as it was a bit of a rush to have breakfast, checkout and get to the archery for 9am but but we managed it. (Check out was 10 but would have crossed over with the archery so had to do it early) Would definitely return whilst the children are still young!”

“Lovely place to take the dogs a walk and let them have some freedom”

“Lovely hot and fresh pizza, nice and thin and not too much cheese. Toppings were all so tasty too, and maybe a weird compliment but the distribution was perfect (I hate when it’s all piled onto one part of the pizza). I built my own with sausage, meatballs, turkey bacon, red onion, sun dried tomato and hot honey - thank me later for this combo!! Oreo milkshake is great too. Might be my new favourite takeaway pizza!”

“Great pub, great staff. Place looks great”

“Lovely linear walk into welbeck park/ deer park. Park at church.”

“A beautiful little hidden gem with friendly staff. The play area caters more for those 12 and under was clean and in good condition. The toilets were almost immaculate which is a rare thing for any place with lots of families visiting. The train ride although short has plenty of things to look out for as it winds it way across the Feilds. If you are near it is definitely worth a visit. I went with two teenagers and still managed to spend a good couple of hours there. As for food check the website for the menu and prices as it may not to everyone's taste BUT if you like a good traditional English breakfast you will NOT be disappointed. We will definitely be planning a return visit.”

“Sherwood Forest is a well-preserved and accessible destination, suitable for visitors of all ages. Throughout the forest, there are comfortable sitting areas, along with a wealth of fascinating information about trees, animals, and nature conservation efforts.”

“Lovely place, nice walk, and smooth paths for Granddaughter to roller skate. Food van cobs excellent, Sausage, and Ham, reasonable prices !”

“Family and pet friendly park with ample parking and many nature trails to enjoy. Don’t miss visiting the Geese and ducks up close!”

“Staff are always helpful and friendly, a great place for water sports”

“Amazing fun! Great staff and support, can't wait to go again!”

“I booked the alpaca trekking for my mums birthday. We had lots of fun. It was well organised and our guide knew everything there was to know about alpacas. We stayed to have a look around the rest of the farm after. I definitely recommend as a family day out - whether it's just for a look around, or if you're booking one of the experience packs. There's play areas for the kids, plus a really cool bouncy castle/trampoline kind of area (if only I was still a child!), and a cafe to grab a drink/bite to eat. As others have pointed out, the car park could be better signed. Just to make it more obvious that the car park is specifically for willow tree farm, and not the seemingly abandoned school. Once parked, we didn't have any issues finding where to go. I would definitely go again!”
