    Great day out for the kids and even adults, price can be expensive, but some good vouchers online so look around, sometimes all rides arnt working like the day this year we went. If you want to save bit of money take lunch as you can go back to car at anytime. as food prices could be expensive. It is a good day out, see some pics and more details on my site at http://www.kevinsimon.co.uk/?p=954

    DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT go here on a day where school children go even if it's cheaper, you would be lucky to get on 2 rides

    There are quite a few bigger rides for the thrillseekers as well, including Shockwave, a stand-up rollercoaster!

    At the heart of the National Forest this is a great place for a day out for children of all ages…read more Half the action is indoors and half outdoors so you are guaranteed a good day whatever the British weather decides to throw at you. Most of the indoor stuff is centred around interative displays relating to the natural world and partly relating back to the National Forest. Its one of those places that is sneakily educational - and kids learn whilst they are playing without realising. Its terribly pc - with hidden messages about the environment everywhere. They do support green issues and I believe have contributed toward research into alternative energy sources locally. You CAN get immersed in the displays and forget the time so be warned. Also inside are the obligitary cafe and soft play area - both kind of average - but not the worst either. Outside is a water play area - with a working dam like structure - which is hard to explain but fascinating, and jolly good wet fun when the sun shines. There is a steam train which takes you back and forth from one side of the site to the other - good for tired little legs towards the end of the day. The adventure playground/park area is really strong - one of the best examples locally. Its really rugged and a bit different to the norm - with plenty of space. The equipment is a bit more testing qand inventive than your bog standard swings and slides scenario. They do Kids parties here, which I have been to - generally entertaining - although I have to say the food was not the best. Costs £6.95 per adult and £4.95 per child, which I think is possible a little steep. It is worth noting that if you are local and would use the facilities alot you can get a season membership. My son practically used to live here before he started school - so this was the most cost effective option. If there are any teachers etc,. on here - would make a great place for a class day out.

    This place is wonderful. Plenty of space for kids (and adults) to run and walk. There are some…read moresmall adventure play/obstacle course type areas for older kids, a small play area for younger kids and a large play park for all ages. There is also the science bit inside where there are interactive exhibits. Most of the place is outdoors so it's best on a nice day but still great any time of year. There are regular falconry displays which my family absolutely love. There are also different educational shows at the amphitheatre unfortunately, I seem to miss all of them! There is a train which takes you from one side of the park to the other. My favourite bit is the Barefoot Walk. Take your shoes off and feel the clay, the cold water, the shale, the coal It's so refreshing. It has been extended but I still think it should be longer! I would pay the entry price just for that. There are a couple of places to eat and drink although I would recommend taking a picnic because those places are a little expensive. The only things I think could be improved are: there are very few toilets. They could do with putting one or two in the places which are further from the entrance! Also, the parks/play areas/obstacle things are quite spread out so if you have children of very different ages, that can be awkward. Otherwise, it is a great day out. I think it costs around £30 for a family which includes all of the attractions (apart from one or two fairground type rides which are £1 or £2 and can easily be avoided!)

    While visiting the UK as a Family we decided on WMSP for a family day out as it was only 90 minutes…read moreaway from where we were staying and the weather looked good. We arrived around 10am ( opens at 9:30am on a Weekday ) and were surprised the parking lot wasn't that busy. We had prepaid our tickets / wristband etc ahead of time so didn't have to waste time there and walked in. We managed to see some of the animal exhibits and ride a few of the rides before our allocated Safari drive through of 12:30pm. Once we lined up and began our drive it took about 2 hours, it also became clear that the drive could be more efficient if people actually paid attention to the rules. If it says traffic on the right side doesn't stop ( It states if you want to see the animals to stay to the left ) then don't stop and hold up the rest, if you do then you're a problem. If it states to keep your windows half way up and not let the animals put their heads inside and you do just that then you're putting the Animals and potentially yourselves in Jeopardy, if you do then you're a problem. If it states not to feed the Giraffes because they're monitoring their diet and you then allow the Giraffe to come inside your car while feeding them then you're a problem. I hope if you're one of the above people that you're reading this because....you're an entitled problem. With that being said, the problem people aren't the fault of WMSP. Once our drive was complete we went to park back up and found the parking lot to be drastically busier than when we left. We would certainly advise you if you want to get more done to try and show up early. Price of tickets wasn't bad considering its a major attraction and the price of food and souvenirs while high didn't seem too high to us. A great day out overall and recommended.

    Excellent place for day out with family Abosulte worth of…read moremoney. Nice place to visit with children. Rides are good for childern around 6 years. Need a day to experience the place

    I want to disagree with those that say Gulliver's is just for the young kids. I took my 2 teenagers…read morewho are 16 and 14 and they had a whale of a time. If you are going to go on the train, wear some good walking shoes as you have a hell of a hill to climb. The whole park is set on the side of a hill. The best thing to do is when you go in the main entrance, Take the chair lift to the top and work your way back down. All the rides are totally family friendly so Mum, Dad and the kids can all go on together. There is only a height restriction on 2 rides so my little 3 yr old niece wasn't allowed to go on the Switchback Roller coaster or the drop tower. There's Fantasy Terrace where you can ride on the Flying Carpet and go on the Dodgems. There Western World where you can drive the JCB diggers, pan for gold and ride the Log Flume. The Log Flume was one of my favourites of the day. All children and adults can go on it yet the drop is quite awesome and we got soaked through. My daughter went on it twice. You can also buy a photo from the ride - We got Magnets to put on the fridge. Next you can take a walk through the Party house with a ball pool, big pedal tractors, A big old sandpit and a great interactive piano that you play with your feet. I took some time out to look at the breath taking views of Matlock and all of Derbyshire. Take a look at the photos to see for yourself. It makes all that hill climbing worth it. The biggest area is of course Lilliput land the home of Gulliver himself. You can play Giant chess , go over the magic stepping stones and ride the veteran cars, Find your way round the 3d maze, ride the Crazy barrel rapid ride, visit Lilliput castle, ride the teacups and the Rio Grande train ride. My favourite area was the Palais Royale area with the Switchback and the cycle monorail but boy did my legs feel it in the morning! As it is Gulliver's Anniversary this year every half an hour the 2 park Mascots Gully and Gilly would come out and sing. It was a lovely treat for the little ones so we took time out to get ice cream and donuts. OK they are a little expensive but the were really Yummy. The absolute last ride you get to go on before you leave the park is the Pirate ship which is my all time favourite ride so it was perfect to save the best for last. As for the food on the park. Well the usual is availableBurgers, Pizza, Chips and Chicken. We ate at Dixies Fish bar. You queue up at the till and order your food (Fish or Chicken burgers) and then when you paid you move round to the window to wait while the slow youngsters in the kitchen prepare your mealDon't wait until you are starving to order. It all comes in disposable wrappers so you can just throw it all away on your way out. I thought the price was quite reasonable and they don't skimp on portions either. Both my children asked if we can go again next year because they went on all the rides and had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

    Quite disappointing for the price…read more Fantastic for those with young children only, but for older ones it can be quite boring. Top tip - take a picnic with you as there are plenty of benches about and the food places are extortionate!
