What can we say other than, a superb day out for all of us! Our 4 & 5 year old loved it! They were so tired when we left after a fun filled day!From the moment we arrived, all the staff were so friendly and made our visit extra special! We came for the dinosaur walk, but ended up falling in love with the whole place! We are now booking Halloween and Father Christmas visits! A brilliant day out, definitely a must for young families!

We went for the Halloween event which we've tried to book before but always gets sold out quickly. We booked months ahead for this reason. We spent best part of 5 hours there & the hours just flew but we had so much fun. They make such a lovely effort & every staff member we spoke to was just so lovely, helpful & informative. The event is definitely worth going to & suitable for all ages. The scare trail was so much fun, we screamed and laughed lots...I actually did it twice!Also visited earlier in the year for a jousting event which we enjoyed too. Will def go to more events there!

I must start by complimenting the staff. I can't remember when I last encountered such a welcoming team! From the ticket office to the tea room, burger van to the gent who waves you off, absolutely first class. The owners have done a great job in creating a family friendly attraction in a short space of time. The dinosaurs and medieval village are all nicely themed with loads of educational material dotted around. For the older visitors like myself, the walled gardens and woodland walk are pleasant and the house beautiful, I just wish there was more of it open. Overall good place to spend a few hours.

We are so glad that we found Fonmon castle for our dinosaur fan. Such a great venue with plenty of space for children to run around and play. The fuselage is the first thing you come to and that was so popular. So many children playing inside, at the end of the visit a child found toys in one of the cabin crew lockers so they were all even more excited. Plenty of play areas all around. There were plenty of dinosaurs to see and routes to suit different ability walkers. The only negatives for me were that we were the first people in and the disabled car park was already full (I am assuming staff, no badges on display), apart from one space furthest away from the entrance, we parked on the opposite side (which was clear) by the ticket office and were asked to move for emergency vehicles which is absolutely understandable, so we had to park in the furthest space away, a bit later on there were cars parked by the ticket office where we were originally going to park. If staff are using the disabled car park as well, maybe they could park furthest away so disabled people could park as close as possible. I am not sure if it was closed or if it is how it normally is but you weren't able to look around the castle, apart from the walkway to the toilets which is a shame as it looks a lovely building. We were fortunate to be able to hire the tramper, I highly recommend, it was a godsend for my partner. The main thing, for me, going for the venue was the staff. They were all absolutely incredible, so friendly, so welcoming and helpful. From the minute we arrived until we left. A credit to the place. The ladies in the food truck were lovely and fun and bubbly, nothing was too much trouble and the staff dotted about were all chatty and friendly also. The man in the shop was chatty and interested, so helpful and great advice. They all make the place even more special than it already is. I recommend they consider getting a Fonmon Castle magnet, I heard a few people ask and it would have been nice to add one to our collection lol. We will definitely be going back.

Really enjoyable visit. The staff are so friendly and helpful it really enhances the experience. Lots to do and see, we spent 5 hours there so great value for money. The chips were particularly good and a lovely eating area. The dinosaur trail is very impressive and well done with interesting facts. The only downside was the drive to get to it was difficult through country lanes but well worth it.

The castle and grounds are stunning. Well maintained and fantastic for the whole family. Lots to see and do. Going on the Superhero weekend was the best. Whilst our toddler was a little overwhelmed at times, the staff/actors were all amazing and accommodating. From grandparents, to grandchildren, this was a wholesome day out and we will be returning for many more future events. Parking was easy and only a few areas were inaccessible to pushchairs. Plenty of picnic areas and places to purchase food and drink. Can't recommend enough!!

We visited here on a superhero event day and my son had the best time! One woodland walk was too muddy to do, however there were plenty of things to keep us busy. We spent 5hrs here in total, enjoying most of what they had to offer. We visited 'Gotham Manor', met lots of characters and had lots of photos. We did the story trail, play area, archery, saw all the dinosaurs, walked down to the pirate part for some play and even held an owl while in the farmyard area (which just has rabbits, chickens and goats). Great day out for a very reasonable price!

This place is very much kid based. There are lots of walks with beautiful gardens to look around. Almost this there are dinosaurs scattered all around with plenty of spaces to sit and rest.The food situation was limited as there wasn't a lot of choice. Everything was out of a burger van, apart from the mobile coffee maker. There was toilets here and PLENTY of parking. We booked our tickets in advance but you can buy them on the day. It is a little costly for what is actually there but all in all we enjoyed the day and would probably visit again soon.Photos to follow.

Arrived at opening time 10am left at 3.30pm the kids - both boys 5 years old and 8 years old and husband and I very happy. Kids and us adults had a great time all day! It’s a good full day out, lots of safe places for the kids to walk about and play, kids loved the dinosaur route. Staff there are fantastic very welcoming and nice, the food area selling beef burgers etc was honestly best burger and chips I’ve ever had! I will definitely be recommending fonmon castle to people I know!

I absolutely love it here. Came for the scare trail which was fantastic at Halloween. Then came last week for santa, the elves and the absolutely amazing grinch - loved him! Took the time with my boy for as long as he wanted to speak, light trail is better than the likes of luminate and the story trail was sweet. Love the place ❤️
