Wicksteed Park

We had a great day out with children aged 9 and 11. Lucky with the weather which made it easyWould give 5* but just needed a bit of shade in the adventure zone and somewhere to sit while the kids enjoyed the rides. Generally a bit more seating for us granny's would be good. A few more parking ticket booths would help reduce the queues.A definite yes for us. Will be returning.

Great value for a day out. Even better the tickets were a £1 per ticket instead of £3 until end of August. I purchased a wristband for my 2 girls and 3 of there friends as better value for me. Took lunch and drinks with us as very expensive on site to buy food and drinks which is why I marked as 4 not 5.

Have been coming to Wicksteed Park all my life, so I love bringing my children along. Brilliant day out with £1 tickets for rides (summer holiday special) but such a shame about the wait for the log flume (1½-2hrs!). We love the open space and lots of places to sit for a picnic. We would love to see more rides or attractions at the lower end of the park, near the old log flume and boating lake.

We visited the park with my 5 year old son as it had been recommended by my father who visited as a child. We had an incredible day from start to finish. Started our day in the top park of the park going on the swings, drop tower, clown coaster, tea cups and the huge indoor slides. All operated quickly but the rides had very short cycles. However if there was no large queue, which there wasn't all day, the operators allowed you to ride again! Little one also loved the bird house with the talking parrots. We then moved to the lower section of the park and rode the log flume, ladybird coaster and the flying ride. All very good with the log flume getting you wetter than i thought it would! We then had some lunch which was very resonably priced and enjoyable as well! We then went to what was the highlight of the day for me, the vintage rides. The cars were okay but the original 30s water shoot is brilliant. Not many of these left either and you can tell its well looked after. We finished on the train for a lovely ride round the entire park. Overall we had a fantastic day and will certainly be back!

I remember going here when I was young in the 1960s! This time took our grandchildren, 2 and 5. Overall a great day out, plenty to do for at least the 5 year old and sufficient for 2 year old. Faster rides though not suitable (not a criticism just letting people know). Wide open spaces, old fashioned park rides, fun fair rides etc. Great place to take a picnic and a ball as you pay for the rides you go on. For the age mix of our party we didn't need to buy the wrist bands: they cost £22 and we didn't go on 27 rides. They recommend individual tickets for the very young, but I'd do the same for all of us next time. We were left with a little sour taste in that the indoor play area is extra, not covered by wrist band or tickets. Only found out after making the promise to the GKids. We'd definitely go again and mix the attractions with family picnic, own ball games etc.

A great day out. So much to see and do that you need more than one day to get round. The rides were very reasonably priced at £1 each. Good selection of ice creams but they were a bit expensive. Plenty of baby change facilities and loos, spotlessly clean. Will definitely visit again. Can recommend

The park looked a bit tired but during August the rides were brilliant value at £1 per ride. The free playground is really good and the lake is good to walk round.Ice creams were a bit expensive but very nice! Our 3 grandchildren aged 7 and under really enjoyed the space to run around and the train ride.

Massive, lots of things to do and lots of space to do what you like to.The only black mark would be, not enough seats for us old folks to stop and rest, and I know it's difficult but seats in the shelter from the sun and rain and lots of them would be a great improvement. But still, a brilliant place to visit for a day out
