Take a cable car flight to the 60-acre hilltop park and experience a day full of history and adventure. Soak in the far-reaching views of the valley below and explore the heritage of Masson Hill and Matlock Bath through historic trails and exhibitions. Head underground on guided tours of two illuminated show caverns and learn tales of the past. Above ground, take a moment to relax in the cafe and restaurant overlooking the valley. Enjoy a conversation with the past, live music, and special headline events throughout the year.
A lovely, family day out! Everything is clean and well kept and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Caverns, Cable cars and play areas are great fun. Be aware, some steep hills and steps to walk once you're at the hilltop. Something a little different to the norm and our children had a great time! Would recommend for a fun day out.
I visited with my family on a weekend, and we had a fantastic time. Just a heads-up--parking primarily requires cash, so it's a good idea to have some coins on hand. The caverns, cable car ride, and tower views were all exhilarating and definitely worth the visit. We spent about 4-5 hours enjoying all the activities, and the wait times for the cavern tours weren't too long. The area is pet-friendly and there are decent dining options are available as well. Overall, it was a great experience!
All the car parks during holiday seasons were full and we had to walk 20 minutes to get there once we finally found a space somewhere else so make sure to plan in advance. Even though we arrived later than the arrival time we selected for our tickets they still let us on of course. There were no problems at all and all very helpful staff cable car trip to the top last about 5 minutes in total. They tell you in advance that the cable car will stop at the top for about a minute so people can take pictures and take in the view. There's loads to do at the top and you could spend about 4 or 5 up there. The best attraction is the Great Masson Cave tour.
I visited with my family, under 5 is free and if you Book online you save a couple of pounds . Paid parking Approx 5 pounds for 4 hours and paybyphone option available. Cable car is definitely the highlight of the attraction, kids love it and even for Adults it's a refreshing experience. I would recommend finishing the Cave tour and muppet show because they both are exhibited on timing basis . If you can't walk , are claustrophobic, heart issues etc ...they don't recommend you for a cave tour . Overall it's a good day out and you can for occupy both kids and adults
A very good place to visit for the entire family .book your tickets in advance .you can use blue light card for discount . Arrived early to near by parking as they fill quickly .cash only .or use pay by phone app . Once parked short walk to cable car station . Ride in cable car 3 min to top .

Plenty of walking , wear good comfortable shoes , bring water . Cafe is slightly expensive but can be avoided if you bring your own food can eat in play areas and picnic spots.
