Great place for kids - little zoo with small farm animals a few chipmunks lots of chickens and peacocks. There is a crazy golf here and a pitch and put range which is sort of like a mini golf for the adults - nice place for a walk around. Cafe was ok it did the job but being a coffee fan i wouldn't rate it. read more

Walton Hall & Gardens - Peacocks just doing whatever they want here very cool! - Local Flavor Near Me - Warrington, WRT

One of Warrington's Jewels (That we may be about to loose) Best visited out of peek times. There is something for everyone. I like it for the scenery and natural surroundings. There's a cafe', formal gardens, open spaces, band stand, crazy golf, pitch and put. A great place to walk in Autumn and Winter. They did have a regular farmers market but there seems to be an hiccup at present. There's also a kids zoo. read more

I have many a happy memory of Walton Gardens; don't think I've ever been in the Hall. I remember the gardens being huge, but they're probably actually quite reasonably sized, childhood warps things. They have a great pitch and put and a petting zoo. As far as I can remember it's all free, or at least it used to be, making it a really good day out for families on a budget as it has enough going on to keep a family busy for a full day. Which you can't really say about many places nowadays. There does always seem to be an ice cream van about the place toomaking it the perfect place to idle the summer days away (now all we need is the sun!) read more

great for a carefree relaxing day out,the best in the area for a free relaxing day out,my only problem is i love to take the children in the family,like many do,the more the merrier,but the prices just for the ice cream is not so cheap,when you need to buy a few,you could probably have a meal out for what you would spend on ice cream,however well worth a visit i loved the ponds with the koi particulary,and the kids love the small animal zoo,even my dog enjoys it.

Walton Hall & Gardens - Local Flavor Near Me - Warrington, WRT

A fantastic day out whether or not you have kids We used to go as students to revise for college exams and have a picnic and sit on the grass in the sunshine with an ice cream. Theres animal corner with goats donkeys chickens and other animals. Theres a crazy golf course, play ground for tiny tots and slightly older children. The car parks not as big as the popularity of this place probably needs so if its a glorious sunny day you may struggle. There are nice clean toilets too so you dont get caught short. If you're more at home near water, take a stroll along the canal. Apart from the parking its a free day, but theres usally an ice cream van around so take some change. read more

A lovely place that is beautifully maintained. My friend recentltly got married at the hall and the surroundings were lovely on the photos. The staff is the hall couldn't have been more helpful looking after eveyone and everything. The gardens are gorgeous and the zoo is great to walk round. It's a lovely day out for children and not that expensive. The parking is expensive and can be busy. Every year the Disability Awareness Day is held there and that is a fab event. read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place aside from the lack of parking spaces on a busy summer day. I'd complain about the car park costs too but as the gardens are free you cant really complain about that :-) I have been visiting here since I was a child and still to this day I like to walk around there and it brings back lots of pleasant memories. Great play park for children, animal area is a hit with the kids and adults if you can handle the smell of peacock poop.. haha eeeww Its always nice to buy an icecream from the icecream van and stand and eat while you wish you were 20 years younger so you could go and bounce on it yourself. ;-) come on Walton Hall... hire an adults only bouncy castle.. you'll make a alot of cash I assure you. haha More parking though, a few summer days I have had to leave as there was no parking even down by the church at the bottom of the road. read more

A fantastic day out for all the family and your four legged friends too! You can get there by taking the number X30 bus from Warrington bus station, its only 10 minutes away from the city centre. Walton Hall is free to enter, theres a small petting zoo for the kids and a play ground with assorted rides to amuse them too. Plus crazy golf and a train which goes around the park offering rides. For mums and dads theres the all important clean and working toilet facilites and a cafe were you can buy drinks and snacks. In summer there is an ice cream van to refresh you too. The park itself features lots of walks and gardens for you to wander around with beautiful flowers and ornamental Japanese gardens and ponds complete with magnificant koi carp. read more

We used to take our children (and other peoples most of the time) every summer right through the 1970's, 80's and 90's. This is unbeatable for a cheap day out with kids, where they will enjoy themselves for hours and still be talking about it when they are grown up. This is from experience - my kids tell all their friends with children to take them to Walton Gardens in half-way decent weather, and offer to go as well! Since then, some things have changed, mostly for the better (except the car park). There is now a Local history display/museum (free entry) in the old stabling block. A personal note here; I was the CityLink driver on this area when they were setting up the museum and turned up one day with a number of unidentifiable boxes. As it was raining, I knocked on the door and pushed in, laden with heavy boxes and promptly dropped them, much to the amusement of the two guys putting electric cable in. Right in front of the entrance they had placed a life-size staue/model of a carthorse! I had almost walked into it's mouth - and it definitely wasn't a gift horse! Opposite this set of stables is another set plus the original mews. In here is a private bicycle collection, the pride of the lovely man who has spent a lot of his life collecting odd bikes. If he is there, he will regale you with tales of each of the museum pieces on display and of the many others he has stored in other places. Add to this the regular craft displays and have-a-goes and the gardens, playground, pitch and putt, bowls, crazy golf and small animal zoo and you have a fund of experiences. read more

My kids love coming here on a Sunday morning in the summer before it gets too busy, the play area is great with the Zoo close at hand. The Hall itself is beautiful and I had my wedding reception here 10 years ago. I would highly recommend it. read more

Everytime I visit here it reminds me of being a child and how excited I was everytime I visited. My children now absolutely love visiting here. The gardens are always maintained beautifully and are landscaped to perfection. It is the perfect place to spend a lazy summer day, as there is always an ice cream van and then a round of mini golf. My children especially like the petting zoo, and the children's playground. The Hall is a lovely place to get married and I have been to a few weddings here. After a lovely day here, stop off at the Walton Arms on the way back for a lovely Carvery Dinner. read more

A lovely local place, with a beautiful hall, lots of lovely gardens to walk around, with a good play area and a childrens zoo for entertainment. They often have events on such as open air plays and lots to see and do at Christmas. Facilities are good here with plenty of toilets near the main entrance and also a coffee shop for refreshments. If the weather is inclement there is a small shop and museum display on local history. You can also adopt animals at the Childrens Zoo and help them with their conservation project of breeding red squirrels. A lovely day out in summer, but also equally lovely when wrapped up in winter. The only thing to remember is to take some change for the car parking! read more

Very popular on summers day. Good facilities for children: spacious play area, golf course, zoo area. Ample car parking space. Walton Hall large and historic. Great day out read more

we had a family get-together at Walton Gardens earlier this year, it was my first visit, and I wasn't disappointed. We were all age groups, oldies, teens, small children, no-one was bored, parking was good and plentiful, wheelchair access was good. We had a picnic, played games, loads of room for everyone. We plan to repeat the experience next year! read more

Lovely place for a day out especially now they have a new cafe.
