Our new favourite "country park". Lots of things to do for different children ages, several playgrounds (the small kiddos one has few water features on as well for warmer days), free mini train, free activity trails through the forest, water birds to feed and observe, country forest to walk through, massive educational indoor interactive "museum" and softplay including bat cave slide, indoor mini cinema, softplay for birthday parties, and generally good family amenities like parking, toilets, food/ice-cream and if you want also well priced add-on outdoor activities like high ropes and archery. And the annual membership is pretty much what we pay for annual parking at public country parks, even cheaper considering all the kind friendly amenities and perks included. (Btw super easy to get - the reception just discounted our first ticket visit price when we bought annual at the end of the day, and now we just code a family QR code upon every entry and off we go, without any need to book a slot or anything. Much easier then other places.)

Visited conkers for the Saturday morning parkrun. Great venue, loads of free parking, well managed and a mainly flat out and back run. The Christmas band added to the festive spirit. It's a busy one ~450 runners and they partition the start in 5 min blocks, so fast runners don't get stuck, not an issue for me at the back.

It's an amazing venue for bands and plays. Amphitheatre with canopy overhead. Inexpensive bar and food kitchen with burgers, hot dogs etc including veggie. Staff are really helpful and friendly. They have a lot of tribute bands but you have to go, it's brilliant.

Amazing place! The children had lots of fun. Make sure to arrive by 10 a.m. We were there from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and time flew by. Unfortunately, we had to rush through the last few attractions as there wasn’t enough time to enjoy them properly. The place has a 4D movie theater, an amphitheater (where we watched a super entertaining show), a train that takes you to a big playground, a rope course, a barefoot walk, and much more. Plan to spend the entire day there, and be sure to bring plenty of snacks. However, they do have a few spots to buy food and a large food hall.

Fairly reasonable entry price you need to ask what ranger activities are going on in the day.. Like pond dipping and bushcraft which is included in entry fee, for activities like kayaking, archery and hi or lo ropes it's additional £6 pp. Kids absolutely love this place.
