Great model village! The entrance price is not bad: PS5pp, PS4 senior. There is a lot to see with lots of attention to detail - even a male streaker on the cricket pitch with a bobby covering the streaker's bits. Food is available: burgers, sandwiches, ice creams, etc. The only slight downside is you can only order food outside the village although there are plenty of picnic tables inside. So you have to go out, order, and ask them to let you back in again - they serve your food inside but we then wanted salt and vinegar on our chips, which was outside so we had to go out yet again and then back in - at least the staff were pleasant about it and no, we did not need to pay again. Highly recommend for all the family!

Brilliant little model village with fun humour sprinkled throughout - clearly someone's labour of love. Plenty of friendly staff around to tell you more about the fort & village buildings too. Quiz was fun too, even as two adults!

Lovely little model village. It is only small but cute models. PS6 for adults and PS5 for children. Mick was very friendly and informative.

We've probably driven past the model village a hundred times but never stopped there. This time we did, with two of our granddaughters. Considering the village was built in the 1950s, it is still very well maintained and is most impressive. Beautiful model buildings, many with a wry sense of humour, rivers, canals, ponds and waterfalls, and cute little trains running all around it. Also liked the Rifleman's Tunnel leading to 2 amazing models of Portsmouth Guildhall and the Spinnaker Tower. Highly recommended!

Great little local attraction, you can tell the owners love this place. Have been visiting here since I was a child in the 70s Now I take my daughter here too. Nice place to sit and have a coffee and there are quite a few picnic benches for patrons use. Really cheap entry and you can say as long as you like. Well done guys... And can we get a decent memorial for Rooney?

It is one of the good stops in Portsmouth worth for a visit. The train models really give an entertaining action to the model village. There is also a history tunnel manned by a very friendly old man, telling the stories to every groups without loosing his excitement and the energy. We really enjoyed the time in there from entry to exit. It is just near to the car park, the entry is through the buffet.
