An experience we will never forget. Random, nostalgic and all round fun. Our children (toddlers) loved the rides, animatronics and interactive elements of the park. You have to go into the park with an open mind and embrace the magical weirdness. It reminded me of somewhere I would have gone with the school in the 90s. I can’t believe that a place like this still exists. Truly fantastic.

The castle is lovely to walk around. The dungeons were good fun and the light/water fountain show was fantastic. There's so much to do and see. So many buttons to press and lots of rides for the kids throughout the grounds. We easily spent the day here and the kids loved it so much we went back for another full day. It has a couple of places to eat, toilets throughout and is dog friendly.

Let's get one thing straight. This place isn't just for kids! We don't have kids, and we absolutely loved our visit. It was money well spent, the gardens are spectacular, the castle is crammed full of interesting 'stuff', it's quirky, it's fun, the staff are friendly and helpful.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We've probably visited 90% of all family attractions in Devon and Cornwall and I'd say this is in my top 3.
