Great theme park for younger children. Be aware of the variety of height restrictions, there were a few unhappy children. These are shown on the website and map, however some rides don't allow children over a specific height to ride with an adult. This posed some issues for us as due to SEN children did not want to ride alone on some rides! Overall a good day out, and would definitely visit again.
Visited Gulliver's Kingdom with an 8 year old who is scared of rides. I thought this would be a good place to try out gentle or slower rides and there would be other things to do if the rides were too much. We had the best day! He only went on a few of the smaller and slower rides but there was plenty of other things to do. The play areas are great and well placed - I would think if you have multiple children and an age range meaning some will be on rides and some not, then you could easily keep them all entertained in each area. My 8 year old loved the mining experience and the "gems" he found. Tickets are reasonable (we paid PS26 each during the summer holidays). Food inside the park is a little expensive but not excessive (PS18 ish for a hot lunch with a drink for both of us). Be aware that this park is on a fairly steep hill. The terrain could be a challenge for anybody who struggles with mobility - lots of uphill walking! Overall a great day out and we will be back.
We'd driven by here many times and had no idea how big and how good this place was! We went with two 11 year old boys and an 8 year old girl and everybody had a fantastic time. We bought the tickets online in advanced and spent the whole day there having fun. We actually arrived before the site opened at 10:15 and left at closing time at 17:00! We managed to visit all the attractions which were open, with particular highlights being the Log Flume, the cable-car and Riggers Revenge. All the attractions were worth a visit but some are getting a little old now and need a bit of an update. Foodwise we shared some pizzas in the Safari Kingdom which we all enjoyed and were fair priced. Many families bought their own packed lunch/picnics however. We were two families and all the adults in the group noted how it was the least stressful and most relaxing funpark we'd been to. The setting on the hill and nestled amongst the trees is perfect and ensures that the children are tired at the end of the day. If you're in the area and have young children, then this is a must!
We had such a brilliant day here- it was a Sunday and the queues were never too long. Ideal with a little one! The rides don't really cater for single families with more than one little one, I only had one child with me so it was perfect for us. The parks and play areas are great! We spent 5 hrs there but could have easily stayed longer. Overall, a fabulous day in a beautiful setting. (My daughter is 4) (It is very hilly, excellent for fitness haha! Also the rides are quite dated but kids don't notice that unless you go pointing it out all the time like some family kept doing. *eye roll*) (Kids pass had tickets for PS18 each and I bought them on the day :) )
Great place to bring the kids. Enough rides to keep them occupied from opening to closing. 90% friendly staff who could do enough to help. Happy but tired kids at 5pm.
I visited gullivers kingdom with my daughter, 2 sisters and 4 nephews. We had a lovely time. The rides are dated and dirty, the water from the log flume smelt like rotten eggs and we got wet YUK! It's filty but laughing kids was what it was all about. It's extremely hilly I wouldn't bring a baby in a pushchair or pram I would wear a baby carrier, wear a good pair of trainers definitely no sandles. Only issue was one nasty man, he was rude and horrible. He was running the waltzers wooden spinning ride thing, he was vile to my daughter 6 and my sister. We have never encountered anyone with such a nasty vile attitude. He upset my 6 year old daughter!!! Personally I do not think this place is value for money.
