The maps doesn't really emphasis just how hilly the place is with a pram and the travelator is so bumpy it's dangerous. The food was expensive and not a great deal of choice and there also could be more for small toddlers. But the staff were lovely and friendly and it was a fun day out x

Visited on 30th September (Saturday). Weather was a mixed bag: Light showers till 11.00, Grey (but dry) skies till 3.00 pm - when the heavens opened up and chucked it all down.
Pros? Very short queues - almost non existing in most places.

Cons? Place looks a bit run down - with some rides and attractions bordering on 'Outright Shabby'.

Hints: (1) Give the mini golf a miss. Tatty - with some holes flooded - not a pleasant experience. (2) There are few adrenaline seekers' rides... limited to one 'blue' ride in the middle of the park, one log flume and one rocker boat.

(4) A new confidence building climbing frame (say 3 stories high) is brilliant - but you need to plan your visit - as these have specific start times spaced 45 minutes apart.

Good place to take your kids. Easily fill a whole day here. Staff we saw were all friendly. Be prepared to do lots of walking, especially as it's on a hill! Some steep climbs to some parts! Some new rides and some old rides, the older parts were a little worn and aged, some interactive things didn't work! Be aware of the height restrictions on certain rides. We went with our 3yo who was just under 90cm, which unfortunately meant he was quite limited on the rides he could go on, even with an adult. But overall good theme park, tickets are quite expensive, looking at nearly £20 each to get in! (thankfully we only went on their toddler plod charity day which was only £6 to enter but park only had certain rides open for couple of hours after the toddler walk)

Quite a reasonable price compared to other theme parks. The whole thing looks a bit tired and could do with a revamp.
Was disappointed to go on a bank holiday weekend and find no shows were on.
Recently two rides have been removed to male way for hotel accomodation and these have not been replaced.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming.
Enjoyable for children under 12.

Fantastic day out with our 3 year old who loves rides. It wasn't busy so hardly any ques which was brilliant. Sometimes we were able to get back straight on. Plenty of places to eat and get snacks and drinks from and good range of rides which even us adults enjoyed along with our boy. It is a bit dated in parts re decour and does look tired in places hence 4 stars but a greay day out and we will be going back. Beautiful views of the glorious countryside from some of the rides too. Definitely worth a trip here for the day but there is a lot of walking up and down hills.

"Brilliant amazing" my daughter says (aged 7) I enjoyed it too, was an early summer school holiday visit.. we barely queued at any ride . lots to see , staff very friendly , site set on massive hill, be prepared to climb!
Would go again. (but I may have been lucky with the not so many people there)

Excellent theme park for young children my grandson had a great day & didn't want to leave. The staff are so lovely & helpful encouraging the kids high five as they leave the rides. Food & ice creams a little on the expensive side but the food was nice enough cost us £30 for 3 small jacket potato's 1 small coke & a bottle of water.
My grandson loved the rides we spent 6 hours there he wanted to play crazy golf but by the time he'd done with the rides he was out of time. He can't wait to go again & I can't either.

Absolutely love Gulliver's! There's something for everyone. Our 5 year old was tall enough for the bigger rides this year so was in his element. They've really thought it through, though, as next to the big rides are play areas for little ones & milder rides for the less brave. And the crows nest that opened this year was loved by everyone (except me - I stayed on the ground & took photos!)

The theme was Halloween which they did a great job of making sure to get the park looking the business. the park is in an awkward spot on a hill and there is no real flow to the park, lots of dead ends and back tracking required. the weather was poor today but that didn't dampen the mood. there are a fair few rides for kids of certain age/height but for very little ones, it's a pointless adventure. one good thing for them was the numerous parks and soft play areas but even then not great. overall for me and my family of 2 little ones aged 4 and just over 1. I would return again but wait until my youngest is big enough to ride everything. spent 3 hours at the park and spent a small fortune on the food which was decent not great and standard priced for a theme park.

Good place to visit. Perfect for age group between 3 to 13 as it says on website. Good rides & wasn't crazy busy as sites with Merlin passes can get. Overall we could get all the rides for a 6 year done in 4 hours including having lunch break and 5 repeat rides. Hope this helps the readers. If any questions please ask.

We love it here. We've been five times in three years. They keep opening new rides, some rides are closed randomly through the year. Bring a change of clothes for the water based rides, do them last just in case so you aren't wet and miserable all afternoon. ALL rides have varying height or age restrictions. Food isn't bad and the prices are ok. Recommend you bring a packed lunch.

A small theme park with plenty to entertain children under 7. All the staff were really friendly, which was a nice change from other places I've been. There are a reasonable number of places to sit and have a picnic or to buy food and drink. It didn't seem particularity busy for a nice day during school holidays.
