Fabulous place! I was amazed on the size, architecture and furnishings as well as the collections inside. The surrounding are is also beautiful and it’s gardens were nice too. It’s easily accessible and also offer bus ride to the house from the car park. Staff were very friendly and everything was clean and top notch. I would highly recommend a visit as there’s a lot to see. Might recommend spending a few hours to truly appreciate all of that is to see.

Really enjoyable visit to this stately home although it was built as a museum to house the possessions of the Rothschild family. Fantastic collection of art works, ceramics, tapestries and furniture and grounds. Entry needs to be pre-booked via their website there is a long walk 20 to 30 minutes from the car park to the house or you can book a shuttle bus for £2.50 return, free if you’re a blue badge holder.

Easy to find with large ticket office and excellent parking capacity inc disabled with a shuttle bus to the house and stables. Property has an interesting history and easy to walk through the various rooms. Large gardens for outdoor walking. Plenty of food and drink available. House has timed tickets available online or at the ticket office on arrival. Staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

A good wee place to explore and walk (in the garden), learn about history, architecture and art. Perfect for couples and families as they have a nice cafe(outdoor sitting) and wine shop. Some of the areas were closed when we visited(they were doing some renovation/maintenance work). They have spacious parking. Overall a very good experience.

Lovely day out, and very beautiful architecture. Lots of walking, if you like that sort of thing, which we do! The Manor's history is also fascinating. We enjoyed it here. The gardens are particularly beautiful.

We had a great family day out here, the house is beautiful and full of amazing artifacts, and all manner of priceless treasures. I enjoyed the Solomon's temple exhibit, interesting to see how it may have looked in it's original form. The grounds looked incredible with the autumn colours, and walking around a finding little hidden details was interesting. The outdoor cafe next to the gift shop had lovely, tasty food and drinks available. The gift shop was very pleasant aswell. Every interaction we had with the people working/volunteering there was very positive. Thankyou for a great time.

Beautifully kept manor. Lovely to walk around. Kids can run free and have a look at the birds. Kids also have a nice playground to go in. The whole place is pushchair friendly. There is a steep slope down to the play area and stables bit. The shuttle bus is great if you don’t like too much walking. Car park was spacious. Great day!
Rosie H — Google review
Beautiful place to visit. Highly recommend. However, it's a very long and steep walk up to the main house from the entrance, so if you've got a lot to carry or don't fancy a challenging walk, there is a bus service from the ticket office.

Driving up to Kilworth House Hotel feels like entering another world. The long, winding drive is framed by towering trees on both sides, their branches forming a graceful canopy that hints at the grandeur ahead. As dusk falls, the scene becomes truly magical — soft, hidden lights scattered among the trees illuminate the way, creating a spectacular, fairytale-like glow. It feels as though you’ve stepped straight into the pages of a classic costume drama, where elegance and charm reign supreme. The hotel itself exudes timeless beauty, with warm, welcoming interiors that perfectly balance luxury and comfort. One of the most memorable experiences is enjoying a tastefully served dinner before the theatre performance. The restaurant offers refined dishes and impeccable service, making the evening feel effortlessly special. Just a short walk from the hotel lies the Kilworth open-air theatre, a unique gem nestled within the grounds. In summer, the atmosphere becomes even more enchanting — guests relax on the grass with a glass of wine, chatting softly as they wait for the performance to begin. The setting sun, the gentle hum of conversation, and the anticipation of theatre under the stars make Kilworth House a truly romantic and unforgettable experience.

A beautiful hotel, situated in the countryside. The beds were comfortable and th food was amazing. The only reason this is a 4-star review instead of a 5-star is that i felt the service on my second day there was not consistent with my first day.

My friend & I decided to treat ourselves to a Murder Mystery Meal in the Orangery as a combined birthday present. The opulent surroundings, cosy atmosphere and excellent food did not disappoint...only wish we had booked accommodation. We had been to Kilworth House before for their Outdoor Theatre which is also a fantastic experience .

Visited for Sunday Lunch with friends. I'll start with the positive. Place was lovely, grounds beautiful with well cared for plants. Staff were friendly and attentive and very smart in their uniforms. On the negative side. We had to replace 3 wine glasses that had evidence of lipstick on the rim - think you need to check the dishwasher. Menu was £32 for 3 courses - the option to have 2 courses would have been good. Although starter and dessert choices were good the mains were limited. This was not helped by the salmon dish unavailable then when ordered the replacement seabass, only 2 portions left. An £8 supplement to have the roast beef also seems excessive plus the pork, even for belly was excessively fatty. Finally when the menu states that the cheese comes with quince jelly and grapes - don't serve it with pickle and miss off the grapes. All these issues were pointed out to our waiter so not blind siding you here.

We got married at Kilworth House in October. The staff were absolutely amazing, Caroline was so helpful from start to finish and we felt so well looked after. We were able to put all of our trust into the staff at Kilworth, and our wedding day was beyond perfect. The food was amazing and everyone commented on how much they loved the rooms and enjoyed their stay. The staff were all so accommodating and we are very grateful to everyone for making our day so special. Thank you!

Staff are lovely, especially Rosey in the restaurant whom is friendly, funny and professional. This had a huge impact to our lovely stay. The 4 stars rating is because personally I found the pillows too flat leading to an uncomfortable nights sleep.

King Richard III Visitor Centre

Mentioned on 
+67 other lists 
Visitor center
Event venue
The King Richard III Visitor Centre, located in the city centre of Leicester, is a modern museum that offers interactive exhibits on the life, death, and grave discovery of King Richard III. The center uses modern technology to explore different aspects of his reign and the archaeological project that led to the discovery of his bones. It's a great place for history enthusiasts to delve into the controversial reign of Richard III and form their own opinions about his legacy.
The museum was very interesting to visit. Children engaged in some quests and looked for the clues everywhere in the different rooms, even in the cafe and the garden. They love this period as they studied it at school. They enjoyed speaking with the guide there about the Richard III, his character, was he a good or evil king?, the mystery of the two nephews in the tower, the story that led to his burial place... The most interesting thing is that the tickets are valid for one year. So if you cannot finish the visit or want to come again you can do so as many times as you like! Keep your tickets safe or the proof of payment confirmation email if you booked online.
Aicha G — Google review
A very well thought through visitor centre , with very helpful, staff. Some of the exhibits are amazing, especially the 'interactive exhibits". It explained the 'science of the DNA testing' as well as the archaeology part. The history and circumstances of Richard III that led to him being at Bosworth Field, and the very sad outcome. The shop & cafe are excellent, and the outside courtyard- with beautifully planted flowers and trees are all excellent; with plenty of seating under shading trees. Altogether, the layout of the experience was very good, well thought out. The fact it had air con, all around the tour was also excellent. The tour is on two levels ground floor , and upper floor - which can be reached by a lift , so no problem for wheel chair users. It was a very moving moment to see where they actually found him in the car park; it has been preserved, for posterity, exactly where they found him, this is outside in a very beautiful 'sanctum' covered over with toughened glass. The visitor shop is also excellent, with many interesting gifts and books, on medieval topics, including the Yorks & Tudors.. The entrance "doubles" also as the exit. I am so glad I came, to see this exhibit - finally..!!
LJ — Google review
A really awesome and well executed piece of history. The museum is amazing and the display which shows the location of Richard’s burial is incredible. There was an amazing volunteer named Julie who explained the full story behind the discovery of Richard. The centre has done an excellent job. It is a must visit for any historian.

Very informative and enjoyable visit. Staff were knowledgeable and provided a real insight into the burial of Richard lll and how they found him. We also then walked across the road to visit the cathedral to see his new resting place which complemented the visit to the visitor centre. Had lunch in the cafe which was great. Highly recommend a visit to both.

Loved visiting here. Very well put together and great displays to tell the story of Richard and the project to find him. Special thanks to Jan for her wonderful talk at the grave location about the dig and about the two Princes. A fantastic addition to Leicester
Andrew K — Google review
The staff are friendly and helpful the story is interesting but I was kind of left with the feeling that some of the exhibitions were almost unnecessary and making a lot out of nothing really such as a pair of wellies worn but the lady who helped find King Richards grave and even a mask and coverall used to prevent DNA passing from the person who removed the bones to the skeleton of Richard ...hardly anything of note regards historical artifacts asides part of the greyfriars abbey walls and floor tiles under a glass floor ! Whilst informative in places not the best museum I've visited .
Benjamin H — Google review
Brilliant, but not for kids. There is more to read than to see. However, it is certainly not boring for someone interested in history or for a person who is curious and keen to discover new things. And once done, you are right by the cathedral and the pedestrian streets full of interesting shops, restaurants, and major brands outlets.

Thank you for an enjoyable matinee.

We went for a comedy show that I surprised my partner on valentines day. I loved the atmosphere, very friendly and supportive staff. The arena was absolutely full, people were laughing mostly... some people were a bit shocked by the amount of extreme language and black humour... It was extremely difficult to find parking and to come our at the end, we waited more time to come out of the parking then the actual show time.

We love the Royal and Derngate theatre. Always original and full of variety. Stalls seats generally best, but avoid front left or right stalls if you are going to see a rock band - you might be deaf for a couple of days! Upper circle (front) are super seats with a panoramic view of the stage.

This theatre is looking very tired. The seats are in a very poor state of repair with exposed foam on the seats and about 50% sporting poorly sewn patches. Also the seating is not offset or raked sufficiently, I was unfortunately seated behind a large man who completely obscured the centre of the stage.

Came here to watch Pink Floyd Dark side of the Moon in the planetarium. The show was one of the best I've ever seen. Amazing atmosphere in the planetarium. The visuals and sounds were perfect. We also had a good look around the space centre itself. Properly cool place with absolutely loads for kids and adults to do and see. Very educational and we will be bringing our kids to have a look. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely do it again

The NSC is an amazingly well curated museum with interactive elements and immersive shows in the Patrick Moore Planetarium inside, shows last 25mins. They even have a real rocket! and you can take a lift to see it from above. It's well suited to kids and adults (we never grow up really) and you can touch space objects and interact with some scientific tools and even play some games to test your astronaut potential! I spent 2ish hours there and there's still more that I didn't get a chance to experience. Tickets were £20 & that gets you an annual pass. The cafe they have is great too, they do hot food and good coffee and even an awesome giftshop! You gotta go :]

The National Space Centre is a fascinating place for both children and adults. It’s especially engaging for Generation Y and millennials, showcasing the Cold War era, the development of technology, and the first steps in space exploration in an immersive way. You can step inside a Mercury capsule, see how astronauts eat and live, and even sit in a period-style room to feel the thrill of watching a rocket launch to the Moon on a vintage glass screen. The planetarium, presented as an animated journey, is truly impressive – even for adults. It’s a wonderful centre for both learning and fun, and the best part is that with just one ticket you can return all year round. Highly recommended! 🚀✨

Where do I start. The place was amazing. The staff and the exhibits were exceptional. So much great information to digest and lots of things for little ones and bigger little ones to do. There were a lot of people in, but it never felt packed. The cinema show was brilliant and way more immersing than we thought it would be. The gift shop had a great collection of toys as well as interesting gifts specific to the Space center. A great day out and it would've recieved 5 stars if it wasn't for the poor cafe that was let down by a lack of choice and the cleaning of the eating/utensil areas which was really poor. The staff serving were great super friendly on all departments but the eating areas were disappointing. Still won't stop another visit to this wondrous place.

Located north of Leicester city centre, the National Space Centre is an amazing day out for kids and adults of all ages. Filled with interactive and educational activities, award winning shows on immersive 360 degree screen, and lots more to see and do. Super helpful and attentive staff, great gift shop, lots of space to sit. Buy ticket online for free annual pass upgrade without hassle. Kids could spend the whole day in here to learn and play. Bring your own lunch to avoid weekend and peak time queues.

This visit has been a long time coming, after trudging the M1 for three decades and seeing the brown sign for the National Space Centre I finally found time to visit, and it was no disappointment in the slightest. Many facts and exhibits tie into loads of classic films, articles and milestones from over the years and lots for the kids to learn about along the way. A great day out and at the moment (summer 2025) the artists elephants are all around Leicester. The planetarium is incredible! Please go and enjoy one of the midlands great attractions that you might have missed.

This Victorian mansion turned museum offers an immersive experience into cryptography, technological innovation, and secret intelligence from that era.
This is an absolutely amazing site, full of history and stories. The site is lovely to walk around and be able to pop in and oit of the building, there are a range of activities to be done in and around the site. Despite the buildings being steeped in history, the team on site have made a large majority of the buildings wheelchair accessible, which is absolutely amazing and something I was worried about not being able to do. The cafe staff are friendly and the food of amazing quality. It's been amazing visit and I am looking forward to visiting again soon. *We were also joined by a special feline guest halfway through our day

We visited Bletchley Park today and had an absolutely fantastic day exploring this incredible piece of history. From the moment we arrived, the experience was first class. We were greeted at the entrance barrier by Jake, who gave us a lovely warm welcome — full of good humour and friendly banter — the perfect start to the day. Inside, every member of staff and volunteer we met was just as friendly and engaging. Their enthusiasm for the site and its history really brought the stories of The Codebreakers to life. A particular highlight for me was the Radio Team, who were exceptional. They not only explained the radio technologies and the process behind them in fascinating detail but even offered me a chance to have a go myself! Their knowledge and passion were infectious and added so much to the visit. We took our time exploring the Mansion, the huts, and the surrounding grounds — everything was beautifully presented and full of atmosphere. The attention to historical authenticity and the care taken in preserving the story of Bletchley’s wartime legacy was evident everywhere. The Gift Shop was excellent too, well-stocked with books, souvenirs, and thoughtful keepsakes. I was thrilled to find a book I’d owned as a child (a long time ago now!) — something I never expected to see again. All in all, it was a day filled with learning, nostalgia, and wonderful interactions with passionate people. A truly memorable visit, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Five stars without hesitation.

An amazing place and well worth a visit. The guides are all volunteers who give their time and expertise completely free of charge. In my opinion this makes them even more valuable to the whole experience and definitely worth listening to if you can get on one of their guided tours. Your entry ticket will allow you to return as many times as you like with a year of your first visit, completely free of charge, and you’ll need it as there so much to see and learn.

This is an amazing Living Musuem of history. The splendid work both highly intellectual people accomplished, together with every day men and women during WW2 is shown here. Without this secret team WW2 may not have ended when it did and with the British victorious. There is so much so see we needed 3 day visits. When you purchase your ticket you get a year to return and Thank Goodness for that.
Rosalyn J — Google review
Interesting visit to learn more about the WW2 Codebreakers and see the technology they used. Informative and entertaining video presentations. Friendly staff and good interactive displays. Quite expensive at £28 pp (we won't be going back in the next year even though the ticket says you can) and disappointed that the museum of computing was another £10 each next door. The website says the cafes have gluten free options but they didn't have any gf cakes or sandwiches, only a main meal.

An amazing time in our countrys' history, remarkable work carried out by extraordinary people. We learnt a great deal more about the events that occurred there than we previously knew. Definitely worth visiting, as your entry tickets are valid for 12 months multiple visits.

We had a fantastic day out at Bletchley Park. There was so much to see. I particularly enjoyed the areas recreated to look as it did during the Second World War. Whilst I knew of the work done there and its importance, visiting left me with an even deeper sense of admiration for the people who worked there.
Sarah W — Google review
What ca. you say? Incredible place where some incredible people worked long hours to help shorten WW2. So very informative, plenty to see. Can easily spend a day here, and the great thing is that your ticket is valid for 12 months so you can return any time within that period. If you’re a member of English Heritage then you can get money off your ticket too.

Another good session here. Our 13 year old boys have done the 1 day course reaching level 4 back in April, now they are doing level 5 and 6 in the 2 hour lesson. Super instructors and good facilities. A great way to prepare for a ski trip.

Staff here are so friendly, passionate and supportive! Did snowboarding for the first time the other day with Marian who was so so friendly, patient, amazing and kind. Also had skiing lessons previously with Charlotte who was extremely kind, helpful and patient. I also met Claire - the manager who went above and beyond for me and was also really helpful. Thank you to each of you, you really are special people. Hope we meet again :)

First day of my sons ski course. The parking was easy and aprox 100m from the Snozone desk, all flat and accessible if needed. The staff were efficient in organising his boots, putting him in his team and supporting him over the next hour or so. No complaints from either of us. I only gave 4 stars as the available cafe for me to spend my time waiting could have provided more options for breakfast, like a bacon butties. I did have a nice hot chocolate though.

Visited Snozone for a Snowboarding beginners day course. Had a fantastic time. Jago was super friendly and helpful in teaching technique and providing advice. Lunch was included in the price and we were offered a choice of pizzas, jacket potatoes and a few other options. Course lasted around 7.5hrs from 1015 to 1745. Group size was five, which worked well and Jago did a great job of supporting individuals with varying degrees of experience. Great fun, had a few hard falls, but perseverance is key! I will be back.

I’ve visited Snozone several times over the past six months. I started with a 1-1 session, followed by a Level 2/3, then a Level 3/4 session, and was due to have my Level 4/5 lesson next week. By the end of my Level 3/4 session, my instructor had ticked off all sections of Level 4 except the final box, mentioning that “with 10 more minutes, you’d have completed the level.” That would have allowed me to progress straight to Level 5/6. However, this week I received an email stating that Snozone no longer offers combined-level sessions and that my upcoming lesson would only cover Level 4. I called to explain my situation and asked whether I could move directly into Level 5, given my progress in the previous session. Unfortunately, I was offered very few options—almost none—and it felt as though the issue was being treated as my responsibility. I even suggested arriving early to complete Level 4 before moving on to Level 5 on the same day, as I was simply trying to continue the training I had already paid for. The staff member I spoke with wasn’t very helpful, and I eventually had to ask for a refund myself, which I would have expected them to suggest.. I later called back to ask about booking a full 7-hour Level 4/5/6 day instead. Thankfully, the second staff member I spoke to was much more professional and understanding. Although the available dates didn’t work for me, she processed my refund promptly. I’m really disappointed, as I had thoroughly enjoyed every session up to this point and was genuinely looking forward to continuing.

Amazing beginners snowboard course last Friday. Tony (and Dave) did an amazing job of making us feel comfortable and helping us to progress throughout the day. From never standing on a board to completing some relatively good turns in a few hours. The facility is great, easy to get to, cheap to park at, everything you need under one roof. The best bit was the instructors. Tony really put 100% into the job and was awesome. Had loads of fun and learnt so much. He was helped by Dave who was great too. It's a hard day, and physically demanding but so worth it

Gulliver's Land Theme Park Resort

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Park
Gulliver's Land Theme Park Resort in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire is a perfect destination for families with young children. The park offers a wide range of rides, shows, and play areas suitable for kids aged 2-13. Additionally, the resort features a farm, dinosaur park, and indoor water park to keep the little ones entertained. Nearby attractions include Campbell Park and Willen Lake, providing ample green space for outdoor activities.
This park is excellent for toddlers and young children. I visited on a weekday during term time, so there were no queues. There are a few rides that the under 90cm toddlers can go on especially the ones who can sit up in a seat on their own. Also some nice attractions like the upside down house, two soft plays and mini villages to play in. It's well looked after and cute. It's not too big and is easy to navigate. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Parking was free too. Great day out!
Amy-Jane — Google review
Mixed reviews for me.. Most of the staff are friendly but some look like they really don't want to be there.. The rides are "good" for kids. My son is 6 and I would say it's ideal for his age group. If I was to return in the future, I would take my own food as the quality of what was available was poor for the price. This theme park needs a overhaul and updated. Most of the rides, the food hall etc is looking all a bit old now. If they are making a good profit then, they need to spend money on updating the park, looks all a bit 90's and been left to rot. Food hall and seating area was a little smelly, no decent lighting, sticky floors and not enough staff cleaning in-between each family using tables. Above all this, I would return more prepared.
Mikey B — Google review
These is an amazing small theme park but really good no queue on all the rides. The staff are really friendly and loved their job. My only complained is the restaurant closed at 2:00 pm.There is a pizza place in the front that is really amazing. But over all very happy with the experience rides are not that extreme. The kids loved the zipwire experience and also the cable car. Would definitely come back soon.
Laurence N — Google review
Had a really nice time there. A lovely little park in the heart of MK. Rides are fun and designed for little ones in mind. We went around the river ride more than once! Log flume was great too. Main restaurant was fairly priced for a meal deal and clean. Lighting was atmospheric with fairy lights which was cute. Staff were friendly and we had Bluey there on our visit. The only downside we saw was it needed a bit of TLC to the bathrooms and play centre. The rest of the park was lovely but these both need a bit of money putting towards it to make it a better experience. Fair price for what you get. Would come back again!

Lovely small theme park great for kids i would say upto the age of 10. Loads of rides with no ride closures which makes a change going to a theme park ! Kids will have anything abundance of fun here... parking on 1st glance looked tricky but actually more than enough room and not miles to walk to entrance... food was the same old theme park food but very reasonable
Tim S — Google review
Overall it's ok for it's size and price (if you get discounted tickets). Has one or two cracking rides for older kids and adults. Plenty of fun rides for smaller kids. Some areas are looking a little worn sadly and areas like toilets could use better upkeep. On the plus side you rarely queue longer than 10mins. If you see a deal for discounted entry it's well worth a family day out.
Martyn W — Google review
HEADLINE Such a shame, as it probably was an amazing park, but its been let down, loads of things not working (pretty much the whole of the JCB world didnt work 😞) the crains didnt work, some of the diggers didnt work properly, there was a ride closed. The food was very Exspensive, but thats like most theme parks I would say. They had some odd rules like no age limit. As long as the child was sitting in the seat, we had a 3 month old whitch would of been safer to put her in our arms but we had to sit her in a seat and put our arms around her, did look funny. The park was a nice size, and there was enough to do for all ages that we have 3m , 2YO, 14YO and 15YO We had a nice family day, just a shame a lot wasn't working properly, i feel this will be letting the park down in the long run and they need to invest. Still made a good day of it despite these problems with the park. Its just a word of warning. They need to invest if they want people to return. We wont be returning sadly.

Had a great day out with my grandson (5) and great niece (4). We visited on a Saturday and arrived about 10mins before entry time, we went through to see the staff and mascots doing a little routine and declaring the park open. We used advanced tickets and just produced the barcodes on my phone to the staff at the entrance. The weather wasn't that great, which seemed to keep the crowds away, meaning we were fortunate to not queue for anything other than the log flume (which was still only about 5mins). There was loads to do as well as the rides and we didn't leave till closing. Food was typically priced for a theme park. Burger, chips and drink style meal was about £10. Gift shop was cute and although again typically priced, they had a good selection of little pocket money priced items. There are plenty of amenities and toilets all over the park.

ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is the largest zoo in the United Kingdom, covering 600 acres in the Chiltern Hills. It houses over 2,500 animals, including zebras, lions, penguins, and ostriches. The zoo offers tours, adventure play areas, and educational classes for visitors of all ages. Guests can witness cheetah cubs, elephants, tigers, lions, rhinos and giraffes up close.
We visited Whipsnade Zoo today as a birthday treat for me. As with every other time of visiting Whipsnade we had the best day. Today was great as it was quieter and the weather was amazing also. We got to see nearly all the animals and the staff were lovely. BIG shout out to the volunteer staff!! We had some great conversations with various volunteers. The food was very good and a simple but effective menu caters for all. The gift shop is great and not overly pricey. Thoroughly enjoyed today. Thank you to all the staff at the zoo!!

I had a wonderful day at Whipsnade zoo today. Highlights of the day were the brown bear, elephants, rhino’s, giraffes and the birds of the world show. Didn’t see the lynx which was a shame. Didn’t see a lion only a lioness and some cubs. 1 star lost because the tigers enclosure seemed really small and the tiger looked sad pacing around the enclosure. I also felt sad for the chimpanzee who seemed like it was having fun and was very entertaining but again enclosure felt small. Park could also do with more signage to help navigate the way around as although map on the app is good would still be good to have more signage as the grounds are huge and easy to take a wrong path. I also went on the steam train which was £5 for adults but I wouldn’t go on it again. Very big ground with loads of viewpoints and lots of walking however lots of places to sit along the way and plenty of small shops providing snacks and some provide food like hotdogs at £8.50 a pop. I much prefer this zoo to London zoo, I feel like you have better sight of the animals in comparison. One other perk about this zoo is that you can drive around the grounds with an additional fee. There is also free parking with easy access to the zoo. There is also an app with a live moving map which helps you navigate around the park very good.

We had a wonderful day out with the family. It’s a large venue, so comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended. Families with young children may find a buggy useful, as there’s plenty of ground to cover. Visitors can bring their own packed lunch or enjoy the selection of cafés and restaurants available throughout the site and near the entrance.

Had a fantastic time visiting whipsnade zoo .. travelled all the way from North Wales.. Easy to find and access ♿ parking was just great for my wife. So much to see and do here for the whole family.. Loved seeing how much open area the animals had to enjoy compared with other zoos.. The zoo covers quite an area.. and it can be explored many ways..foot. train..or by car... Yes if mobility is an issue like my wife it can still be easily explored.. We seen a bus going around..sign simply said..Hail bus driver to stop..jump on a train which was around £5 .. Otherwise drive the car around and stop and explore where you want.. plenty of parking on the side of the road... please drive safely!!.. There is part of the zoo where you can only explore by car or taking the train.. Feels like your on safari.. amazing time When we visited they were giving the flamingo's a health check.. you were invited to ask anything you wanted.. Fantastic interactive experience Cafés , toilets and picnic areas are ample and dotted around the park.. Gift shop as like most places near the exit... Would love to visit again in the future as one visit is simply not enough to see and enjoy everything whipsnade has to offer...

Whipsnade Zoo is in a beautiful location of Dunstable Downs, there is a free car park off site and charge for car to enter, blue badges are free, you can drive around the whole park and there is parking spots at each area of the Zoo so you can view the animals at safe distance. It’s a favourite Zoo of mine due to care of the animals and the enclosures are well maintained. If you visit now you may find parts of the Zoo is being improved and some enclosures updated and cleaned, so some of the animals are relocated, the kangaroos are free roaming the zoo and can be approached but best respect nature. The only part of the experience that requires the most improvement is the toilets most are not regularly cleaned or look clean, the restaurants and food vendors do not offer quality food, the sandwiches were not that appetising and the hotdogs were served in baguette, I didn’t understand the combo nor did my palate. Not that they need a fast food chain there but better menu of food and quality would justify the insane prices like £2 for a bag of crisps. Overall I still recommend this as a great family day out but bring your own lunches and snacks.

THE BUS IS BRILLIANT! Whipsnade is an awesome zoo but the bus service elevates the experience even further! Lots of walking and make sure you dress warmly, but if you get tired legs then the bus is perfect. Can't fault it. Such a friendly driver (Gary) and they come round every 20 mins. Thank you so much
Olivia C — Google review
This zoo is possibly one of my favorite ones I have been to. The animals have so much space and the possibility to just hide away if that is what they want. We were there on a cloudy temperate day that made the animals more active so we got to see a lot of them. We saw the penguin talk and the bird show, both are very much recommended, but especially the bird show was super well done and very enriching. I have been about 5 times the last ten years and every time has been a great experience.

Woburn Abbey and Gardens, located north of Luton, is a Palladian manor house set in a massive estate that dates back to the 1620s. The estate is home to the Dukes of Bedford and features a significant art collection, beautiful gardens, and a 3,000-acre deer park with 10 species of deer.
So many good memories of this place over the years Its beautiful. The gardens are stunning especially in summer. Its a perfect place for a picnic or a stroll back in time. Me and my children have grown up coming here and its never disappointed. If your disabled your carer goes free and its also discounted admission. You can spend a day or just a couple of hours in the beautiful gardens and deer park. I love that it hasn't changed that much over the years. A perfect day out ☺

This is a fantastic place to visit the Abbey has so much to see you will need to spend some time trying to take it all in. The gardens are well worth making sure you get all areas in. Picnic areas and tables dotted about for use some with shade. Toilets at various points around the site.

The gardens are beautiful and well worth a look. It has public toilets and a lovely little gift shop. You can picnic anywhere in the gardens.

Absolutely LOVED IT!!! amazing place for families, for couples for everyone I guess. Abbey is at centre of Deer park with couple of ponds which adds so much beautiful views all around. Unfortunately I cannot able to see the inside view of Abbey due to refurbishment take place and it will be back for public in 2021. You can have a very good walk in the park as well as the Woburn Old Town just meters away from this place. Also, when you drive into this park you fell like Richmond park in London. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic afternoon tea (delicious vegan and gf vegan options available) but you need to prebook your dietary requirement. On booking staff were exceptionally friendly and immediately understood vegan and GF vegan requirements. allow yourself extra time (c20mins) to get there on time as you need to check in at main gate and then drive the 2-3 miles to the house and garden entrance. tea rooms were lovely as was the impressive grounds and gardens. i happily would return with the kids for a picnic and maybe next time would take a look inside the Abbey (add on cost).

Wicksteed Park, established in 1921, is the second oldest theme park in England. It features around 30 rides and four main themed areas including a playground, fairground with fun rides and arcade, lakeside for boating and scenic walks, and an arena with thrilling rides like the Revolving Paratrooper and Roller Coaster. Originally owned by Mr.
A great day out or camping venue for younger kids aged 6-10. We have two boys aged 7&8. There's plenty to do in the public park (swings, roundabouts, slides, climbing frames etc..) just pay for parking which is about £7 for the whole day. We'll worth it. If you come for longer you can buy tickets to the theme park and rides which is again targeted at 8 to 10 yo. Would suit boys and girls. There's also parks, long walks, swan, ponds, and other stuff to explore.

Had a lovely day, it's about fun, simple rides and the park land. Food was not too expensive either, the baked potato in the cafe was quickly consumed with no complaint. We went to Alton Towers last year and whilst not comparable, this cost about the same as the food there, and in truth we had more fun. There is plenty to improve, not least the free playground and some of the buildings, but go with the right level of expectation and enjoy your day, helping to protect this little bit of heritage.

I was lucky enough to win four tickets to Wicksteed Park in a competition, and I went there yesterday. What a fantastic day it was! I absolutely loved my visit and would highly recommend the park to anyone looking for a full day of fun. The first thing that impressed me was how enormous the park is. There's so much space to explore that you never feel cramped or are fighting for room. The size of the park gives you a sense of freedom and the opportunity to discover something new around every corner. Besides the space, there's a huge amount to do. The variety of entertainment is impressive, with attractions for all ages. Whether you're looking for big thrills or something more gentle, there's something for everyone. We spent the whole day there and still felt like there were more things to see and do, which is a big plus. For me, Wicksteed Park is the perfect place for a fun family day out. The atmosphere is great, and with so much to do, it's impossible to get bored. It was an experience I'll remember fondly.

Absolutely amazing day yesterday. Came with my son and my two granddaughters. Purchased wristbands for all. Great price for family of four..unlimited rides which we all..especially girls took advantage of. As a grandmother of a child with svi I cannot recommend this park enough. From staff to patrons of this park everyone was amazing and so respectful to my granddaughter. Staff were aware my granddaughter required help by her dad or myself to get onto rides..and were extremely courteous. Gentleman on carousel was the best. Thank you sir! Unfortunately daddy and I felt a little unwell after a ride..you probably heard our screams asking for help during ride which my..obviously caring granddaughters..laughed incessantly.. Will definitely return. Thank you guys for an amazing day

Great day. Great value. Great staff. Have selected 5star for rooms service and location as whole day was a 5 star experience. The haunted walk was scary! Our 2yr old, but almost 3yr old.104cm, grandson loved it and got more confident so by the end of the day went on the high swings! We didn't eat there - it wasn't silly money but we had brought our own.

Awful Oktoberfest for 2025. False advertisement with their posters and you left feeling like it was a scam: The event was advertised as a lively and festive Oktoberfest experience, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. When we attended, there was only one food truck, no decorations, and an almost empty room with a band performing, where the only thing festive about them was the generic costumes they wore. While the musicians did their best, the overall atmosphere did not resemble the vibrant Oktoberfest celebration that had been promoted. £20pp for nothing. When a refund was requested the customer feedback team were very unprofessional and you’d be luck to get a reply.

Brilliant family day out, something for everyone here. Enough rides to suit all ages and queues were fairly short. Indoor areas are great with plenty to keep children entertained, perhaps aimed at more younger children but the dark themed slides and play area is great for all along with the rapids ride. Classics like the pirate ship and log flume for all the family to enjoy. Easy to navigate around the park. Free parking available and gift shop at the end. Purchased a family photo which can be taken upon entrance. Highly recommend for families. Great value with family pass which we purchased via offer code at half price. Bargain! 🌟

We are theme park connoisseurs and this park definitely is one of our top five parks in the uk. As we have kids under ten, this park has things to cater perfectly to them. It's a perfect size to be able to cram every ride in. The queues are small and the atmosphere is very nice. There's a large, soft play and separate aerial ropes. And drop slides. There's a farm on top to. Great visiting during halloween, as there is a pick your own.

Great park but definitely more suitable for small children. Our 9 year old wasn’t as enthused and entertained as our 6 year old. Quite a long queue for some of the rides which meant the kids were getting fizzy. Water wasn’t working either whilst we were there so had to use hand gel - provided by the park - this wasn’t the parks fault though. Good choice of food at decent prices and the place itself was kept nice and clean.

Every member of staff were a delight (apart from the woman in the paying booth.... They were kind and considerate and very child friendly! The rides were great as our two are ten and haven't really been on anything like that much. Excitement overload. The indoor slides and lazy river were a godsend as it was bitterly cold. There were some animals in the barn, and we enjoyed feeding them (50p for feed from a self-issue machine). Especially as the llama and goat were trying to eat the feed out of the machine! And the Shetland pony kicking the door to get more food. There were rabbits and meerkats too. The kids enjoyed picking a pumpkin too which was free with the ticket. Who knew choosing a pumpkin would bring so much delight. Thanks Twinlakes it was a blast!

It's a good value for money with ONE big but, as long as your child is over 90cm. Otherwise there's virtually no rides they can be allowed on. They would not let you hold them on your lap and go down the water slides in the splash zone either. Animal wise it's quite poor in terms of variety. Nice picnic areas. Decent cafe and indoor playground. Car park is decent size but on the rainy day it's a bit of disaster especially if you have to go through it with a buggy.

Went on a Sunday for pre-birthday fun with our daughter, well laid out park with plenty of things to do, small wait for some rides but nothing extreme. Longest wait for for the food as one poor guy was manning the BBQ shack by himself during the lunch rush, He did an amazing job tho! I saw at least 2 people litter picking, surly one would have been better supporting the cooking?
CoralAmanda — Google review
Nice little park suitable for smaller kids. I would say probably 6-10 year olds will have the most fun but might be a bit boring for older ones. You can see some (mostly) farm animals there as well. Most rides are looked after by teenage looking staff which wasn't the most comforting thing although they seemed to check everything properly. If you don't expect any thrills for yourself and just want to offer your young child some good times i would recommend.

The park boasts over seven miles of accessible trails, making it perfect for walkers of all ages. Visitors can enjoy adventure trails, bird watching, and various walking and hiking routes.

We visited with our children on Easter Sunday. What a fab place to walk, relax, and a gigantic playground/ sandpit for children! The paths reveal the beautiful scenery of the lakes, with birdwatching spots here and there, the adventure trail and much more! You can even have a BBQ in the designated area, or grab a drink/bite and enjoy it when looking at the tranquility of the water. An absolute gem!

Honestly one of the best days out I've ever had with my daughter. Gorgeous, well maintained paths everywhere. Bird hides to watch over the lakes (while she napped). A big, airy cafe with delicious coffee. Lovely museum with staff who clearly adore what they do! We had so much fun talking to the people who were making a dugout canoe with bronze age tools, and exploring the garden, especially after seeing the spinning and weaving and learning about the plants that make the dyes. My daughter adored playing in the adventure play, of course. There's running water and sand, cute little play beach huts, a mural, slides, more than enough to entertain a toddler for hours! It was really lovely and plenty of seating and shade all around. We will definitely be back with my husband for another full day and hopefully add in some cycling 😊😊 Overall, really cannot say enough about how great the site was but even more so how wonderful every staff and volunteer was everywhere we went during our visit. The kindness, patience, and passion was just beyond what you could ask and we really appreciate it!

Absolutely lovely day out with all of my family which included 19 13 13 10 & 10 year old. There was so much to do and see around the whole of the lakes. My kids especially loved the assault course as did my partner (a little to much if you ask me) 😅. The only thing that I found was missing was bins on the walk ways I understand its for safety reasons but the amount of plastic bottles that were just dropped on the floor was awful. My kids did pick up the bottles they could whilst walking round but had to keep hold of them until the bin at the playground area. Other than that we had a fantastic time. Finished of with a lovely picnic near the playground for my youngest 2.

Love visiting here! Went to a netwalking event held in their conference room with walk around small lake. Facilities were clean and food was delicious (bacon sandwich). Great provision for tea, coffee and selection of cold drinks for the event. Staff were friendly and helpful. Outside facilities are the best part, beautiful nature and well kept paths. Usually you need to pay for car park but as we were at an event, parking was free.

I recently spent a few hours at Stanwick Lakes Country Park (Northamptonshire) and had a thoroughly relaxed and memorable time. The setting is beautiful — wide open spaces, shimmering lakes, and plenty of winding paths through nature. Whether you’re walking seriously or just pottering, the place has a lovely peaceful pace. There’s also an impressive adventure playground (and zip-line/assault-course type features) that means if you’re with kids you’ll very likely hear squeals of delight from the central hub of the park. On the nature side, it’s just as good. The bird-hides, wetland spaces and trails provide a chance to slow down, sit on a bench and watch things happen quietly around you. It’s not just manic play and activity—there are corners of genuine calm and reflection. Like all UK parks do go prepared if it’s been raining: as paths can be muddy and may be dry foot wear

What a great place! So much for the kids to do and see. The water feature is great, the climbing frame is well kept and very safe. The toilets are always kept clean and there is a great choice for food and drinks. Actually they have really nice coffee which is rare. Would be good with a few more benches as there is only a few compared to how many visitors they get but bring a picnic blanket and you'll be fine

Spent a couple of hours here with my daughter this morning. After building a Minecraft money box, ice scream and bacon roll in the cafe, spent just over an hour trolling the outdoor play area, taking a beating from the vertical twisty slide lol.. The venue has lots to offer , walks and activities, including the previous indoor play area now used for arts and crafts.. nice little venue for the children and adults alike. Friendly polite staff and informative of upcoming events , such as trails , arts and crafts etc..

Rutland Water

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Reservoir
Nature & Parks
Rutland Water is a man-made lake that offers a peaceful escape for various outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, hiking, and birdwatching. The nature reserve is home to the Rutland Osprey Project, where visitors can observe these majestic birds in their natural habitat. Families can enjoy cycling around the lake on shared paths with convenient amenities like parking, toilets, and shops along the way.
Really pretty reservoir that is very large. There are multiple car parks depending on what side you want to be on. We went on a Saturday late morning and it was sunny, if windy. Not busy. We went to the car park where people go for water sports, wind surfing etc. Parking is £2 every hour until a certain point. You can use the pay machines to pay on exit. You can pay with card. The gates are locked at 7pm. It's a family friendly environment. You can walk on various trails, round the reservoir, or through wooded parts. We didn't see many birds but there are bird watching stations. Some people are fishing and have designated zones. You can also go in the water in certain places, or go on a boat ride. The place is kept clean and is peaceful. The water is nice and blue. Very calming atmosphere. We went on a walk from our car park, across to two other car parks, and racked up 12km. There are a lot of people cycling, and you can hire bicycles. You are also allowed to barbecue in certain places. Toilets are at each car park location and kept clean. There are some places or cafes to eat, too. Not every location has the same things e.g., if you'd like a gift shop, make sure to check which car park to be at.

A great and popular place to visit. Reasonable parking costs , and good places to eat and drink. The views are stunning. My only concern is there's no segregation between you walking and the inexperienced bike riders on there hired electric bikes. It's an accident waiting to happen. However we will be back as so much more to see and do.

Rutland Water is a truly stunning spot — a vast, handmade reservoir that feels both peaceful and lively at the same time. It’s easy to see why thousands of visitors come here each week. The lake is beautifully maintained, surrounded by rolling countryside, and offers plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re walking, cycling, or just sitting by the water with a picnic or barbecue, there’s a sense of calm that makes it perfect for relaxing weekends. The onsite parking makes it convenient, and there are plenty of spots to stop and take in the views. For those looking for something more active, Rutland Water doesn’t disappoint. The range of water sports — from sailing and paddleboarding to kayaking and even open-water swimming — gives the place an adventurous edge. Runners and walkers will love the scenic trails that circle the lake, offering constantly changing views and fresh air. It’s a wonderful mix of recreation and natural beauty — somewhere you can easily spend a whole day and still want to come back for more.

Beautiful place to come and fish for a day! The boats are well maintained and they also supply nets and drogue per boat. Such a vast body of water, will need to visit a few times to see it all, and fish it but it was that nice today, I know I'll be back again soon!

National Trust - Belton Estate

Mentioned on

$$$$affordable
Country house
The National Trust - Belton Estate is a classic 17th-century English house with lavish interiors and beautiful gardens. Located just outside Grantham, it offers a perfect family day out with vast grounds to explore. The estate is collaborating with the National Lottery Heritage Fund to connect Londonthorpe Woods and Bellmount, providing accessible green space for nature experiences.
A great family day out, always has been a good play area and it is well sited away from the house. Good facilities and cafe and plenty of gardens and land to explore. The house has always been lovely and homely and worth a wander around every time we go.
Colin — Google review
Popular mansion and gardens. We've never seen such a queue to enter a NT property as this. It draws an incredible number of visitors and has an enormous car park and extensive cafe to accommodate everyone. That said it didn't feel busy in the gardens or house. There's plenty of room for people to spread out. There are formal gardens as well as parkland to explore. With a veritable army of volunteers tending to the gardens, which were a credit to their green fingered attention. In August when we visited there were a number of activities for children to enjoy. And plenty of children doing just that. The mansion house was built in 1685. All the furnishings and paintings are original items owned by the family. A really nice authentic feature. Don't miss the church, with so many elaborate memorials to the family ancestors. And do talk to the room guides they had lots of stories to tell about the past generations and more recent royal visitors. All good. 😎👍👍👍👍

Belton House is one of the largest National Trust stately homes, with loads to see and do including the largest outdoor play area across the estate. The house inside is stunning and whilst some work was ongoing when we were there it took nothing away from what was and will be a place of great splendour. There are also one lovely gardens to explore which you can take your fourlegged friend (although understandably not in the house).
Stu R — Google review
Belton is a vast estate with a huge parking lot that is a bit of a walk to the entrance. Particularly if one must park at the far end. I was surprised to see so many visitors in late September! It was easy to see why. The house was amazing, dating from the 1600's with most of its decor maintained since that time period. The Trust has done an excellent job preserving the interior. Rooms include a full sized chapel, as well as a bedroom that was designed for Queen Adelaide. The self guided tour finds one going through room after room as it seems that most of them are open for display, unlike others where touring was limited to ground floor or a few rooms to peruse. There is a lovely cafe on the grounds and acres of gardens to enjoy. There were still many flowers in bloom in late September. There is a maze on the far end of the property if one chooses to seek it out. We never did make it to the middle, but at least we found our way back out! We are National Trust members (via Royal Oak Society) so I cannot comment on admission price. I can say that you will see a vast amount upon admission and could easily spend the day enjoying the landscape. One last tidbit: the house was featured as Rosings Park in a Pride & Prejudice film. The front was where Mr. Collins entered with his entourage, and the back is where Mr. Darcy was filmed walking towards the house.

Belton House was extremely busy when we were there but we still had a wonderful visit and did not feel overcrowded (except in the ice-cream shop!). The house was interesting, the volunteers knowledgeable and the gardens were beautiful and well kept. It is a pity the large fountain in the formal garden was not working. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area!

Probably one of the most enjoyable visits I have had to a country house and grounds. The house is not the most spectacular from the outside or the inside but it is both attractive from the outside and surprisingly comfortable inside. It is a place that I felt it would be nice to live in. There is a lot to see in the house and there was a guide in each of the main rooms who was only too happy to talk about the history, royal links and modern filming in and around the estate. The guided tour of the grounds is well worth while as we found it amusing and informative. The estate church is Norman in age and some of the later memorial statues are very impressive. We enjoyed the formal gardens and orangery although the maze was decidedly unamazing. A very pleasant walk down to the lake in a less formal area.

Was very disappointed. Cosy us £60 entry, was told that was for everything but to find out after spending all day there that the lights was an extra £76 !!!! Rip off and with only a handful of rooms decorated, thought it was poor value ... Tips for next year, give a reduced price for lights if there all day and show a kitchen decorated for Christmas lunch

Visited many times, but today just the wooden trail. However, the whole park it's perfect to go for walks, visit different sites like coffee shops, playgrounds for the children, ride on the train ( this will depend on the days and weather), and also boat rides (this is seasonal). There's a lot in here, as sometimes they do events as well. Always look at the website for what's happening. But, if you like nature like I do, Ferry meadows is a great escape from the town of Peterborough.

Visited here for the Saturday morning parkrun. Loads of onsite parking which is only £1 for park runners. This is very well attended event , with 600 people on the day. The park is great with loads of facilities including toilets, cafes etc. The run is two out and back loops, there are some 2way parts that get a little squeezed but for most of it there is plenty of room. Its all flat and alot of tarmac so its a fast course. Lots of marshalls all doing a great job, this is a must visit parkrun.
Paul — Google review
Parking £4-8. Very beautiful and scenic. Cafe was busy and their way of doing drinks was odd, tea was made and put on the tray but we had to wait for the coffee (they hold back the tray) so tea was cold. Coffee was around £4, cake £4 . Watersports and activities available on site for extra charges. Picnic area and play park. Short walk around the lake and some other paths that we didn't get chance to visit as it was just a short visit.

Sights & Landmarks
Peterborough Cathedral is a medieval church known for its grand Gothic facade and offers tours, tower visits in the summer, and choral recitals. The cathedral has a rich history dating back over 1,000 years and has survived invasions, wars, and King Henry VIII's Dissolution of Monasteries.
A beautiful piece of magnificent history right in the centre of town. So many stories to discover and amazing architecture to admire. Well worth a visit and if you're lucky, you might hear the choir practising, or the organist playing a tune!

A beautifully designed and built cathedral. Are there better ones - depends upon what is considered better, this one is full of history and stunning architectural details. There was a 5 pound charge to visit the chancel but I did not think that excessive considering the maintenance costs on this building. If you visiting Peterborough, this is not to be missed. Also a lovely place for some self reflection and hop out of the daily trials of life.

What a great cathedral. The architecture is amazing and walking inside its so spacious and the art work is amazing. Such a peaceful place. The cathedral is right in the city centre of Peterborough and you can’t miss it with the walk way leading to it.

An impressive building with the three arches. The Nave is beatiful too with the wooden ceilings, etc. An amazing building. But, I was disappointed to find that in order to visit the chancel and other areas at the back of the cathedral, I would have to pay an entrance fee of £5.50, you have to buy tickets at the information desk. There is no clear signage of that being the case, nothing to inform me of this. You need to be more clear as it does not say on your website or indeed on any signage that I looked at that there is a fee.

Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the tranquil village of Madingley, near Cambridge, the Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial stands as a poignant tribute to American military personnel who sacrificed their lives during World War II. Established in 1956, this serene site is home to 3,812 graves and features a Wall of the Missing that honors an additional 5,127 servicemen whose remains were never found.
This cemetery was very beautiful, I felt very emotional reading about how amazingly brave the soldiers were in the war. I felt it was insensitive to take pictures of the crosses themselves, so i only took pictures of a few of the lovely decorations. The place is very well looked after as it should be. It's a perfect place to remember the loss of all-American soldiers. R.I.P

It was very noisy and in front of the beautiful chapel and reflection ponds.

Springfields Designer Outlet & Leisure

Mentioned on

Outlet mall
Shopping
Springfields Outlet Shopping & Leisure is a village-style shopping center located in Spalding, offering a wide range of high-street brands at discounted prices. The open-air outlet mall features popular UK and international brands such as Marks & Spencer, Next, Clarks, Sports Direct, GAP, Skechers, and Fatface. In addition to shopping opportunities, visitors can enjoy dining at various eateries including Starbucks, Subway, and Frankie & Bennys.
I had a delightful visit to Springfields Designer Outlet during my recent holiday! The standout for me was the free EV charging, which not only made our trip convenient but also encouraged us to extend our stay—and yes, we ended up shopping more! The outlet is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to navigate and enjoy. The variety and quality of shops are impressive, catering to a range of tastes and preferences. A handy tip: download the VIP app on your phone to enjoy 10% off in some stores—definitely worth it. For families, it's more than just shopping. The kids loved feeding the ducks, and the beautiful gardens with serene water features and fish added a relaxing touch to the experience. It’s a perfect blend of retail therapy and nature. Practical aspects were well catered for too. The toilets were spotless and well-maintained, and there were plenty of benches to rest and recharge amidst the shopping excitement. Overall, Springfields Designer Outlet offers a fantastic mix of shopping, nature, and family-friendly activities. Highly recommended for a relaxed, enjoyable day out!

This designer outlet isn’t as big as some I’ve been to but there is a good selection of shops including a M&S, Osprey, Levi’s Cadbury Chocolate Shot and much more. I really enjoyed Blud Diamond the garden centre with lush outdoor and indoor plants, gifts, books, household items and restaurant. The Osprey shop has good quality bags and wallets, and the craft shop is well stocked. My favourite area was the extensive well laid out gardens with water features, seating and woods, this is not something you expect to find at a designer outlet. It does feel like an outlet shopping centre because the prices are really competitive.

Springfield in Spalding is an absolute gem, it's the perfect combination of a fantastic shopping destination and a beautiful, peaceful place to relax. It's truly got everything you could want for a great day out First off, the shopping is brilliant. The outlet stores offer a huge range of brands, from high-street favourites like M&S and Joules to well-known names like Clarks and Levi's. You can find everything from clothes and shoes to homeware and gifts, all at great prices. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend a few hours browse and still feel like you only scratched the surface. The layout is also very pleasant, so it doesn't feel overwhelming like a huge indoor mall. But what really sets Springfield apart is the stunning Festival Gardens. It's a wonderful surprise to find such a beautiful, landscaped space right no ext to the shops. The gardens are an absolute highlight, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. The themed areas, water features, and woodland walks make for a lovely stroll. It's a fantastic spot to take a break, enjoy a coffee, or just admire the beautiful flowers. The gardens are clearly well-cared for, and it's a real joy to walk around them. The fact that these two elements - the great shopping and the gorgeous gardens - are together in one place makes Springfield so special. It's a place where you can shop until you drop, then step outside into a serene and inspiring garden to relax and recharge. The whole atmosphere is welcoming and enjoyable, making it a wonderful experience for everyone. I loved every minute of my visit and I'm already looking forward to going back.

The restaurant in the garden center is very nice, with a large room, comfortable seating, delicious meals, and a very large selection of gluten-free desserts. Everyone will find something for themselves there.

Caught out by the parking charge . Thought he first hour was free - I was wrong. Got stuck at the gate with about 20 cars behind me . Called for help and the attendant could not have been more unfriendly. Told me to reverse directly at the queue of cars behind to make them move - I was in a van with zero rear view and aware that the queue behind were not feeling hospitable! I would have happily paid a charge by cc at this point but that could not be offered and they instructed me to either force the cars behind me to move or to leave the van and block the exit while I walked back to a pay station - accepting my mistake was my fault , the response from this team was pathetic.

Lincoln Zoo | A Wild Family Day Out in Lincolnshire

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Wildlife park
Outdoor Activities
Woodside Wildlife Park, formerly known as Woodside Falconry and Conservation Centre, has grown significantly since its opening in 2001. Situated in Newball between Lincoln and Wragby, the park is now home to a diverse range of animals including wolves, lynx, tigers, birds of prey, monkeys, reptiles and even racing pigs. Visitors can enjoy up-close encounters with exotic animals such as lemurs and tropical house inhabitants like reptiles and birds.
Nice trip out, forgot it was school holidays, but not too busy. Only few minutes down the road from us. Animals seem happy and well cared for. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Ample parking. Nice little gem, well worth a visit

The Lincoln Zoo is a fantastic place for a family day out. The zoo is beautifully laid out, easy to navigate, and has excellent facilities throughout. The toilets were clean and well maintained, and we noticed good wheelchair and pushchair access across the grounds, which makes it very family-friendly. Parking was straightforward and close by, which is always a big plus. The enclosures are thoughtfully designed, giving the animals plenty of space while still allowing visitors a great view. Highlights for us were the butterfly house, which felt magical, and the reptile area, which was fascinating and well presented. The different shows and talks throughout the day were engaging and really added to the experience, helping us learn more about the animals. The café had a good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Overall, the zoo felt very welcoming, well cared for, and perfect for families of all ages. We’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

Brilliant family day out — worth every penny (almost!) We had an amazing time at Lincoln Zoo — it’s such a well-kept, friendly, and genuinely impressive place. The animals all look healthy and well cared for, the enclosures are spacious, and you can tell the staff really love what they do. The whole park feels clean, well laid out, and easy to get around even with little ones in tow. The highlights for us were definitely the big cats, the walk-through aviary, and Lemur Falls — which is absolutely brilliant (when it’s open!). Our only tiny gripe is that Lemur Falls is only open for half an hour twice a day. For the entry price — about £100 for a family of four — it’d be great if that section was open a bit longer, as it’s such a fun feature. That aside, it’s a full-day experience and genuinely good value once you’re in. Loads of places to sit, decent food options, and plenty for kids to do between animal areas. We’ll definitely be back — it’s become one of our new favourite family days out! 🦁🐧🦓

A Lovely Day at Lincoln Zoo We had a thoroughly enjoyable family trip to Lincoln Zoo today. The variety of animals was impressive, and the talks were both engaging and informative. Staff members were friendly and took the time to answer the many questions from visitors, which added a personal touch to the experience. There were a few areas that could be improved. Some paths—particularly near the bears, wolves, and goats—were not easily accessible for wheelchairs or electric wheelchairs. Additionally, a few enclosures could have been cleaner, such as the water areas for the otters and penguins, and the tanks near the crocodiles. The café staff seemed quite slow and lacked a sense of urgency, which led to a long queue forming. lastly the gift shop was ridiculously expensive! Despite these minor issues, we had a lovely day overall. Feeding the goats was a definite highlight and brought lots of smiles. Thank you for a memorable visit!
Jessica G — Google review
Not as big as the wildlife park, very friendly staff, all on flat ground so good for mobility issues except one viewing platform. Cafè is nice with a decent selection on the menus. As with all places like this, food is a tad expensive but for a treat its good. We saw most of the animals, didn't see the bear or otters tho. Easy to buy tickets on line too.
Ann B — Google review
Nice place, big enclosures. Could do with a map or guidebook showing you where every animal is and talk times. When we got home we realised some of the animals we hadn't seen. Nice cafe too offering toasties, sandwiches and cakes among other things.
Trish B — Google review
Absolutely lovely zoo. Extremely well maintained. Friendly staff. Our favourite was Lemur falls. We managed to stand with them twice (11:30 till 12.00 and 13:30 till 14:00). They have a variety of talks throughout the day and do animal experiences for an extra cost. The cafe was also amazing. Daughter had the best cheese toastie she has ever had and I enjoyed my tuna baked potato. Such a lovely escape. Thank you Lincoln Zoo, keep up the good work!
Kimberley-Ann Y — Google review
Well kept zoo and nice. Little bit expensive for the amount of time you can spend there. We walked round twice and stopped for a cake and coffee. We spent a total of around 2.5 hours there. Little one played in the park but because it was a hot day the slides were very hot (metal) and there was no shade for him. Toilets were clean, The whole zoo was clean , a part from the poo ( maybe dog ?) in the butterfly house. For the price of 3 of us to come to zoo, I personally wouldn't be returning. (We paid on the gate, as booking for tickets was closed at 10am , when we tried at 10.15am, we rang the zoo and the lady said you cant book tickets for the same day once they are open, but can show up)

Had an amazing experience today! The instructions were clear, and the safety briefings laid out exactly what to expect, answering all our questions. Every member of staff was approachable, friendly, and really helpful. Even though low cloud cover delayed our jumps until the afternoon, the day still flowed smoothly. I had Gary as my tandem instructor, and he was fantastic. He kept me chatting on the way up, which really helped calm my nerves, and made sure I felt confident about the instructions for a safe jump. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about giving it a go!

Had an absolutely unforgettable experience skydiving. From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and exciting. A big thank you to my instructor Leigh, who kept me calm, guided me every step of the way, and made sure I enjoyed every second in the sky. And hats off to Dave, the photographer, for capturing the whole experience perfectly and helping me feel at ease. I felt completely safe, well taken care of and truly one of the best experiences of my life! Highly recommend this place and the amazing team behind it. 🙌🪂

One of the life time bucket lists ticked off. Amazing group of professionals who can take you on tandem skydiving with proper guidelines and make you feel at ease. Amazing experience. Thanks to my instructor, Mauris who made it even more enjoyable. The wait sometimes might be more than you think just because of wind or unpredictable weather. The place is equipped with a cafe to keep you stuffed in such a case. Lovely people and it can be quite busy. The footage, videos and pictures are classy too.
Paul P — Google review
We finally made it on our fourth attempt because of the weather, but it was really easy to rebook every time. The day we did jump was glorious so it felt like a reward for our patience... and it was definitely worth the wait! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and I felt like I was in safe hands the entire time. The only problem was...the whole jump was over all too soon and I need to do it all over again because I know I missed so much!🤣Definitely upping my game to 15,000 feet next time...

Thank you so so much for such an incredible experience. 3 of us did our sky dive today (Donna, Laura and myself) we jumped for charity (Just George - CCLG childhood cancer and lukemia research) raising over £2000 doing the jump. We was so grateful for the charity discount. Chris Beattie was my instructor and he was lovely, very reassuring and proffesional. I felt safe at all times, the whole experience for me was life changing - I really hope it won't be my last jump, I loved it so much! Thank you Chris and team, such a well organised and enjoyable experience.

What can I say ,it was an amazing experience doing my parachute jump today .From start to finish ,training, video, instructor's instructions to actually jumping out of the plane at 10,000 ft.

Absolutely incredible experience and such a professional team. Thank you Gary for the beautiful memories and for keeping me safe.

Gary made me feel really safe being with him and I trusted him all the way which is so important to me. I loved it so much. Thank you for having us yesterday, Maria .

National Trust - Tattershall Castle

Temporarily Closed
$$$$affordable
Castle
Tattershall Castle is a rare 15th-century red-brick castle featuring battlements, moats, bridges, and expansive grounds for exploration. Located in the rural community of Tattershall in central Lincolnshire, this historic site offers a blend of fortress protection and home comfort. Visitors can immerse themselves in the castle's heritage by exploring its moats, green areas, Flemish tapestries exhibit, Parlour where rent was paid, and basement that served as a store and prison.
Beautiful venue for a wedding with stunning grounds, you are also allowed up on the very top for wedding photos. Just a note there are no toilets in the actual castle, if you get cut short there’s a good 2 minute walk to the toilets just near the exit of the grounds. Today’s couple had drinks and a very light afternoon tea in the garden outside, the weather was glorious.
Austen B — Google review
National Trust description says it all: a fine example of medieval brick built castle. Information on site all up to usual NT standards. Good views from roof and battlements. An hour probably enough to explore and take in all the history. Easy to find, good parking and a fine church within the grounds.
Nick H — Google review
We are Royal Oak Members who partner with National Trust, so we try to visit as many of their properties as we can when in a certain area. This one was a real gem. Parking was easy with a well marked lot nearby. The walk to the top is relatively easy, as the hand rail is actually formed into the wall, making grasping it easy. The steps are not steep, and one can stop on each floor to learn about the rooms, windows, and fireplaces and their significance. The Great Tower has been in the possession of the trust since 1925 and is very well maintained. On a brilliant day, the views from the top are magnificent. Well worth the effort of climbing to the top.

Very interesting castle to visit, with multiple floors & great views from the top. The information boards are very helpful. When we visited (Sunday of August Bank Holiday) there were lots of activities in the grounds, for both adults & kids. The only downside is that there is no café on site, just a van selling snacks. But there are options in the village a short walk away.

Ely Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+49 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Ely Cathedral stands as a magnificent testament to Gothic architecture, captivating visitors with its intricate design and historical significance. Nestled in the flat Fenland landscape of East Cambridgeshire, this grand structure rises dramatically against the sky, evoking awe just as it was intended by its Norman builders after their conquest.
Truly stunning architecture with plenty of fine details and beautiful, brightly coloured stained glass windows. The cathedral is very well maintained. I recommend visiting in the morning when it’s quieter and less busy. Don’t forget to have a walk around outside as well—there are lots of lovely details to see!
J ( — Google review
Ely Cathedral is absolutely stunning. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the unique Octagon Tower and the spacious Lady Chapel. Inside, every detail feels majestic yet peaceful. The staff and guides are very welcoming, and the whole visit is well worth it. A true gem and one of the most beautiful cathedrals in England.
Olga L — Google review
Spectacular and unique among cathedrals, its wooden octagonal “lantern” high above the crossing is amazing to see and explore. We booked an Octagon Tower tour before our visit, and learned from our guide the original tower had been square and built in a Romanesque design, but that unstable ground - possibly exacerbated by construction of the adjacent Lady Chapel - had caused the tower to collapse in 1322. Something new was clearly required, and result was an octagonal tower made of stone and wood that was lighter in weight, spread the load more evenly, and that had an upper row of windows to admit light (a “lantern”). After examining this construction method on a model at ground level we were escorted up the first spiral staircase to the clerestory, where we were asked to deposit backpacks and purses. Nearby were the bass pipes of the organ, some of them so long that they are installed horizontally. Three more stairways ensued, two of them among the narrowest we have ever climbed in a Cathedral. All were inside the walls, and the one that accesses the roof requires one to bend almost double to duck through the exit door. The interior of the Octagon Tower is a busy maze of beams installed in the 14th Century, with some of the larger pieces at least 1,000 years old. We approached the lantern from behind and found it consisted of a number of high, narrow, painted doors, three of which were opened for us so we could peer across the octagon to the painted other side, and crane our necks to see the altar far below. It was absolutely splendid. We learned that the lantern’s last significant structural restoration was done under architect Sir Gilbert Scott in the mid 1800s, and that the lantern paintings (and part of the nave ceiling) were completed in the 1860s. Outside on the lead-clad roof we were treated to a terrific view over the city. Back downstairs we explored the magnificent Lady Chapel and some of the Chantry chapels before calling it day. Practical info: A tour will really make your time at Ely come alive, so visit the excellent Ely Cathedral website to see what is on offer. Allow about 2 to 2.5 hours for a visit.
David R — Google review
An impressive and magnificent cathedral that makes Ely – even though it’s the second smallest city in England – truly special. Knowing that this remarkable building is almost 1,000 years old makes the visit even more fascinating. It’s also interesting to learn that parts of the first Harry Potter film were shot here. The audio guide is excellent and very informative.
Mehdi Ö — Google review
Beautiful cathedral. This is an excellent place to visit for a day out. The grounds and staff are helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. If you are in the area, well worth the trip. There are numerous pubs, shops, and restaurants near the cathedral as well.

What an amazing place to visit and look around. Lots of things to see, so much history and so much beauty. The ticket price of £14 pp may seem quite steep, but you could essentially spend hours here and still not be bored. Be mindful that the Stained Glass Window Museum costs extra (to be the cost for this is quite steep for what it is) and it is also up some steep flights of steps so no good for people with disabilities; but interesting to look at the stained glass exhibits.
Dominic W — Google review
Ely Cathedral is fantastic. Special mention goes to Tracey, our guide on the Octagon Tower Tour. She was so full of amazing information and her pacing of the tour was perfect. Such a special and unique place.
Lorraine M — Google review
A beautiful building from the outside and looks magnificent inside. But sadly they charge a ridiculous £14 per adult to enter just for a 20-30 minute browse. Understand they need to maintain the place but this is meant to be part of our collective heritage and should be open to all for a much smaller donation. In France similarly grand cathedrals outside of Paris are free to enter. Also, the church fathers have built an ugly building opposite the entrance that really ruins the surrounding area ( see picture). Disappointed.

The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre offers a fascinating experience for aviation enthusiasts and families interested in WW2 history. It houses exhibits on Bomber Command, featuring a rare Avro Lancaster Bomber and memorializing the role of Bomber Command in the war. Situated on an old RAF airfield at East Kirkby, visitors can relive the sights and sounds of a bomber airfield and explore the original wartime airfield where the Lincolnshire Bomber operated.
We spent a fantastic afternoon here during the summer break, missing the Lancaster taxi runs but got to experience the Mosquito. If you can make the taxi runs, definitely a sight and sound to experience. Lots to see and do around the site, including ongoing restoration works in the large hangar, and an impressive collection of wartime memorabilia and remnants of aircraft. We stayed until closing time and were really fortunate to see the Lancaster being towed back to the hangar, where it parked up literally inches from us as it manoeuvred around. An amazing experience.
Steve E — Google review
Called in here while visiting the area and was lucky enough that the Lancaster Bomber was on one of its days/times for making a taxi run out of the hangar……GREAT experience. Ring and check for days/times before you visit. If you are interested in WW2 then there are LOTS of experiences and MASSES of reading…..allow a lot time (all day) if you want the full experience. Basic but cheap and acceptable marquee cafe at present while work is ongoing for the new one.

Great time on bank holiday Monday. Being inside an iconic airplane such as the Lancaster is a lot of people's dreams. I must say it does live up to the dreams and gives you a great insight as to what those young airmen went through. So brave so young, may we never forget.
Barry M — Google review
Over recent years we have taken a liking to visiting war museums, there are many over this East Side of the country, this one was well worth a visit with the Lancaster bomber just one of it's main attractions. Certain days you can pay for a 'taxi' ride down a large field in the bomber You can sit in the gun turrets of choice. All be it a little expensive on this occasion being a pensioner. The experience of taxiing down a run way with a 4 engines running in this iconic world war 2 bomber must be fantastic. We are going to save up and come back for another visit and take this once in a lifetime opportunity. All the money raised is put back into making this Lancaster air worthy. So a great cause to keep this plane alive for the forseable future for all to see. You can see the craftspeople building and manufacturing new sections of plane in the large hangar. For us this was also a great place to visit as it has a Campra motorhome aire in the grounds, we stayed for two nights, safe and peaceful 👍 Check out there website.

Visiting this was a purely off the cuff last minute decision due to rain, however this place deserves a lot more respect than that. A fascinating, detailed incredible place with some sombering glimpses into our aviation past. Couple that with an unexpectedly delicious breakfast and you have a great half day out. Definitely not one to miss.

If you're interested in ww2 aviation history then this is a must. Lancaster and Mosquito plus various other rescued aero parts with the history to explain why they are there. Unfortunately planes were in hangar at visit so couldn't get decent photos but didn't spoil a great day. There is a cafe on site. Money goes to support work on the aircraft.

Great place for a visit and some lovely walks. There are at least 4 different walking routes you can take all with different distances for all fitness levels. The house is nice, but the viewing experience is quite small. My only small complaint would be that there are not enough bins for your food waste if taking a picnic etc, there were none on the walks we did. There's plenty of parking too

Lovely visit here on the royal estate,plenty of car parking which was £5 for the day, the house and grounds are very well maintained as you would expect,downstairs in the house is interesting with things left just as the royal family like them, shame you can't look upstairs but still worthwhile, we walked to the church which you can enter and purchase various souvenirs if you wish.

This is a very big estate and has lots for people to see and do depending on budget too, The car part is drive in pay on exit we paid £10 for the day. The outer ground are then free to walk around and there is a very nice kids play park. We used the restaurant and this was very nice and felt posh which i liked as after all you are on Royal ground now. The food was very good and the service was good too i would recommend. We paid the extra to go into the Gardens and House which for two adults and one child was £54. The Gardens are well looked after and worth a walk around the stables host a cafe were we did partake in a coffee and cake stop. The views of the house are very good and looks very nice. The House we did the tour which was shorter then expected as its a big house but we did not see it all, its a walk thought tour with people in each room telling you about each one or you can get an audio head set at £5. The rooms are as expect posh its ice to see where the king and our past queen spend and spent Christmas together and the dining room were they have Christmas dinner. The house has a lot to see and seams to have a Asian theme to it. Sadly you are not able to take photos or video inside which is a shame. It was well worth a visit.

A fabulous few hours spent here, a full day is definitely recommended.

We had a wonderful day here wandering the gardens, which are fabulous to walk around at any pace. They are very large with lots of paths to wander and you dont have to stick to paths but can roam around pretty much as you like. Where you're not allowed will be clearly marked. You'll see so much of beautiful nature and great formal gardens. You can grab a snack and drink before entering the gardens, and once within there is a cafe in the stables for a stop and refresh. The gardens are very well maintained and clean. All in all this was a really great day.

Skegness Pier

Mentioned on 
52 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Amusement center
Skegness Pier is a renowned landmark offering coastal views and a wide range of entertainment options. Despite being only a quarter of its original length due to storm damage, the pier's future looks promising as it was acquired by the Mellors Group in 2021. With plans to rebuild and redevelop it to its full 582 meters, inspired by New York's High Line urban park, the pier is set for an exciting transformation.
Various eating venues, plus entertainment area at the start of the pier. Nice view of the sea at the end, plus a number of benches to relax and watch the waves. Great spot later in the day for a bit of quiet time if you're at the end of the pier.

We visited on Monday 26th May 2025 at around 17:13. As it started to rain, we made our way to the end of the pier. On our way back, we travelled through the arcade. We spent £2 on the duck racing machine and earned plenty of tickets. There is a big soft play area for little kids, and we enjoy our little visit into the pier.

This beachside destination is absolutely wonderful! The view of the sea is breathtaking, especially with the natural sea breeze that makes the atmosphere so refreshing. It’s the kind of place where you can simply relax, enjoy the beauty of nature, and forget all your worries. A perfect spot for anyone looking to spend quality time by the ocean

What a brilliant day out! We visited Skegness Pier on May 31, 2025, and it was a five-star experience from start to finish. My kids absolutely loved it and went on almost every ride they could. The variety of rides kept them entertained for hours, and the smiles on their faces said it all. The pier is also perfect for a full family outing. There were plenty of places to grab snacks and ice cream, which was great for keeping everyone happy and energised. It's so convenient to have toilet facilities readily available too. Finding parking was no problem at all, with a handy pay-and-display car park just a short walk away. This made the whole trip stress-free. Skegness Pier is a fantastic place for family fun and a must-visit if you're in the area!

First time on Skegness pier. Fantastic day with fantastic company. Lots of people enjoying themselves. Lots of music, live entertainment rides and side stalls. Everything you would expect on a pier and the surrounding area. I liked how people have put locks on the rails on the pier as a memory.

A great walk from the seafront into town. The views were fantastic, especially at sunset, and the pier looked absolutely amazing in the evening. Even though it was the end of October a bit chilly and windy it was totally worth braving the cold for the photos and the atmosphere.

We visited as a family. The pier itself is lovely — the views are stunning and definitely one of the highlights of Skegness. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is extremely commercialised: everything flashes, sings, beeps, and is clearly designed to tempt kids into spending money. It’s hard to simply enjoy the atmosphere without being bombarded by noise and distractions. The toilets were honestly awful. The smell was so strong I couldn’t even go in — I literally felt like I was going to be sick, and that almost never happens to me. With so many tourists around, it’s shocking that basic hygiene isn’t better maintained. Also worth noting — the railings along the pier are covered with padlocks, despite there being a dedicated heart-shaped structure meant for this purpose nearby. The locks are damaging the fencing and it just looks messy. It’s disappointing that people don’t respect shared public spaces.

Few too many rides out of order or not running. Still had a good time but lile so many things now... not sure it was worth the money

Natureland Seal Sanctuary (Skegness)

Mentioned on 
61 lists 
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Natureland Seal Sanctuary in Skegness is a popular attraction that offers visitors an opportunity to witness the rehabilitation work done with orphaned seal pups found on the East Coast. In addition to seals, the sanctuary is home to penguins, crocodiles, tropical fish, and various farmyard animals that visitors can interact with. The site also features a kids' petting zoo and hosts informative talks about the seals and penguins during feeding times.
On May 31, 2025, my family and I visited Natureland Seal Sanctuary in Skegness, where we had an exceptionally enjoyable experience. We purchased a family ticket along with individual tickets, totaling £45, which provided excellent value for the encounter. The car park is conveniently located nearby, facilitating easy access to the sanctuary. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by exceptionally friendly & welcoming reception staff who provided valuable information. The interior of the sanctuary offered an engaging experience, with its gift shop and ice cream shop. The latter was a delightful addition on a warm day. The visit was highly educational for our children, who were captivated by the diverse wildlife they encountered. They had the opportunity to observe birds, seals, fish, and other animals, learning in an entertaining and immersive manner. Natureland Seal Sanctuary stands as a remarkable gem in Skegness, offering both entertainment and educational value. It is highly recommended for families, animal enthusiasts & individuals seeking a meaningful and enjoyable day out. Five stars

Great day out. Not a bad price for entry but it is getting a little run down. Nice place to see lots of different animals. With staff being friendly and willing to chat about the animals. The facilities were clean and the restaurant was good for a bite to eat.

Nice little Seal rescue centre. Undergoing some improvement to the penguin pool. Needs quite a bit of maintenance as buildings, especially the bird and butterfly houses, looking a bit shabby. Small reptile collection. Very good staff, with informative presentation at feeding time. Would be nice if they could get some sponsorship deals from local companies as not getting any lottery grants.
Martin A — Google review
A lovely place that’s truly worth visiting! I visited with my child and we had a really wonderful time. The seals are absolutely adorable, and the sanctuary plays such an important role — rescuing, caring for, and rehabilitating these beautiful, intelligent animals. The stories shared by the keeper were touching and made us realise how cruel humans can sometimes be. It was emotional but also eye-opening. Feeding the llamas and goats was a great experience for the kids — a fun and meaningful way for them to connect with animals. Places like this deserve recognition and support from the community. They’re doing something truly important. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Sylwia M — Google review
Not bad value for money, it isn't an all day activity but definitely worth a visit if you love seals 🥺😍 ! Was a lot of maintenance going on at the time which they kindly have reflected on price tickets. General areas such as toilets and the picnic seatings area could do with a good clean. Staff on reception/ticket kiosk really friendly and bubbly. Would recommend a visit for all animal lovers
Danielle K — Google review
They gave an amazing speech about all the different seals (the adult and baby seals) and the seals did some tricks. There’s a great food place which unfortunately doesn’t allow dogs but there is an outside seating area which you can take your dogs into. There’s a butterfly sanctuary and a bird sanctuary which is absolutely amazing to go through. Would highly recommend for a nice day out.

We enjoyed a couple of hours at the seal sanctuary. The place isn't very big so good for little kids, we found the seals enclosures we're small and a bit dingy but we understand they are a charity and doing the best they can. The kids enjoyed seeing all the other animals too, highlights were the birds, butterflies, goat and the crocodile. The entry prices were decent as were the prices in the gift shop and cafe. Enjoyed feeding time and hearing the talk about the seals.
Nina V — Google review
What a great little place. The £36 family ticket was great value and going to a good cause to continue the work with the rescued seals and animals. Even though a new penguin pool was under construction there were still plenty of animals to see. We especially enjoyed feeding the goats and alpacas and the seal feeding show.

SEA LIFE Hunstanton

Mentioned on 
37 lists 
Nature & Parks
Aquarium
SEA LIFE Hunstanton offers a range of interactive zones where visitors can get up close to various sea creatures and learn about their habitats. From the Penguin Beach enclosure to the Tropical Reef exhibit, there are opportunities to see Humboldt penguins, colorful fishes, and playful otters. The center also features a large ocean tunnel with sharks, rays, and fishes, as well as an outdoor seal enclosure with underwater viewing.
Visited on the 10/03/25, fantastic place for all ages. We booked ahead as its much cheaper than paying on the day. On arrival we were greeted with very friendly staff who explained everything we needed to know. The venue itself isn't huge but they certainly made use of the space. We walked around it for roughly an hour. Great family day out. Bonus points as they have a Costa coffee on site as well.
David J — Google review
Wonderful place, great friendly staff and a diverse animals. We spent ages in each section, especially in the Otter tunnels after Matt’s lighthearted and educational Otter talk. We’ll be coming back every year, as its not too busy early-on compared to others, so it’s really nice to have more room to move about.
Nathan W — Google review
We travelled up from Essex as my son's favourite animal are seals and we'd heard about the seal rescue programme carried out here. When we arrived it was easy to find a parking space but the car park was used for other attractions and wasn't the cleanest or best maintained. Tickets can be expensive but if you book online and days in advance you can save enough for a Costa Coffee on the way out. The site isn't a big as other we've seen, doesn't have as many attractions, and isn't as interactive or educational but it had seals and they were cute!
Mark G — Google review
this is a lovely place in Hunstanton, worth the lengthy drive from Suffolk. Staff is very friendly, engaging and kind, especially the girls in the "touch our friends, the starfishes" corner :) . Place did never get boring for neither our two or four year old. If anything we left under tears because it was so good. Bring your own lunch, there are no healthy choices for kids in the cafe or anywhere nearby. Opposite Sealife you can book an amphibious HGV ride to see wild seal colonies off shore, so you can make it an awesome marine day for the entire family.
Andrei T — Google review
2nd visit here,it's one of the best seaside centres I've visited, you can buy packets of food to feed the Pacu on arrival, the tanks are larger than most, they have a freshwater one with carp barbel perch etc,the highlight is the walk through tunnel under one massive tank leading to an amazing observation area where you can watch a giant sea turtle 🐢 sharks 🦈 and a whole host of other marine life, a guide gave a talk as the fish were being fed so there was an opportunity for youngsters to ask questions, they have a well stocked gift shop and a very nice cafe too, a lovely visit 😀
Ruth P — Google review
Wonderful trip to the sea life centre, managed to catch the seals being fed and very easy to get my elderly mother around with ramps and small steps. We loved chilling at the end of the tunnel and just watching the sharks and turtle swimming around.
David C — Google review
A great variety of aquatic species, from Pacus, catfish, sharks, axolotl, and turtles, to penguins, seals, and otters, and everything in between. A little gift shop, a cafè, and positioned right on the seafront. Staff are friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. No onside parking but there is a ticketed carpark literally 2 minutes walk away.
Helena M — Google review
When we paid we thought - ok, of course it is expensive, the only entertainment for miles around .. But it's absolutely worth it! Couldn't even imagine it is so big, and the variety of species, and how close you can get to them. Wonderful!

The Seal Sanctuary Wildlife Centre, located near Havens Golden Sands resort, is a haven for injured or orphaned seal pups. In addition to seals, visitors can also encounter meerkats, ring-tailed lemurs, and axolotl salamanders. The center offers the opportunity for kids to participate in a zookeeper for a day experience.
Fantastic little Sanctuary all the animals look well looked after and well feed. This isn't just a Sanctuary it's also a learning space for kids to learn about history etc very clever. Cafe nice and clean food lovely all staff very friendly and helpful keep up the good work you all deserve a medal 🏅 we came with kings norton coaches from Birmingham well worth the 4 hours trip

Visited with our grand kids, girls 5 and 6, and was very impressed. Very well laid out, informative displays and a huge variety of animals seals and birds. Really cannot understand the poor reviews as we all had a great time and thought the enclosures were spotless and the animals looked happy and content. We will be back.
Tim W — Google review
A great array of animals here. The seals are really cute and what they do for them is amazing. Rehabilitation for them to go back into the wild after injuries. The resident seals seem happy too. Parrot by entrance is funny and will say hello/goodbye to you! Lovely staff and nice cafe too
Grace B — Google review
So much more than seals and worth the entrance fee! Out of season so cafe closed (luckily drinks machine is last to be cleaned) so many rescued birds, reptiles, mammals. Timed feedings with q&a, parking free but the £5 would've been redeemed in the sanctuary. Feel bad for some of them but they're better off here, well looked after, such a sunny day too, saw most of them!
Ilona R — Google review
Loved visiting here, large variety of animals to see. All the animals are obviously very well loved and cared for, and the sanctuary is massive with free parking. The cafe, loos, and paths were all very clean and tidy, with lots of different areas to view the different animals. I do however think some of the enclosures could be bigger, and cleaner. Admission price was very reasonable, I'd happily pay more to see cleaner, slightly bigger enclosures.
Mishka L — Google review
We visited on a Friday afternoon in August and it was busy but easy to move around. There is lots of interesting information and wide range of animals including meerkats, pigs, chicken, various birds including a stunning peacock, ostrich, llama, and seals. The gardens are lively and there’s a small play area, cafe and toilets. I couldn’t help but feel some of the information boards looked a bit tired , had they been better I would have given a higher score.
Mal333 — Google review
Not sure what to expect walking up the car park but once inside, what a place. Whole family had a really good time, had a lovely lunch in the cafe, all staff were really friendly. The signs clearly say they take in sick animals and enclosures are designed around their needs so if there is not loads of water in with the seals or a pen is small or a lynx is pacing, there may well be a valid reason.
Richard B — Google review
Visited here while staying in the area. Quite disappointed really…..the place looks well rundown ( shortage of funds ?). A shame really for the love they obviously have for the animals. Only a few seals at the end of the walk through so should just be called a Wildlife Sanctuary.
