“We’re thrilled to again be recognised as one of the best days out in the country,” says partner Tara Stanbury. “The list highlights those parks that offer high levels of visitor satisfaction, and a great-value day out, so it’s fantastic to be included.”
“We’re different to some of the others on the list – a bit smaller, and we don’t have the white-knuckle rides and huge crowds and queues. But we do constantly work on being the best we can be,” says Tara.
“This year we added Ziggy’s Blast Quest – an interactive target shooting ride that’s proving hugely popular with all ages, and last year we built the Gravity Rider, a huge outdoor donut slide. We’ve also just launched new gluten-free, nut-free, egg-free and dairy-free menus.
“We focus on having friendly, helpful staff and a providing a good family day out – and we’re so pleased that our visitors on Trip Advisor think we’ve done a good job.”
