    Here with my 15 year old niece's & 9 year old nephew, this is a fun family day out for all age's, including the adults. Is rare to see a place where parents can & do interact with their children on a lot of the activities, so this was a big plus in my opinion. As well as the trail itself, there's lots of assault course style activities to do. Exhausting for us all, we had a fantastic day out here. Highly recommend, especially as the season/ weather changes, as all activities are outdoors ( Luckily we had decent weather ourselves to enjoy the day )

    Always has been a brilliant experience. Took my 2 year old, not too much to do at that age but still had a brill day out regardless!! Its a brilliant walk/ adventure, and plenty to do that kept us there for hours. Me & my girlfriend are wanting to go back without my son to have fun on the bigger attractions! 😂

    Brilliant day out for families. Lots of fun for the kids. Eco-friendly slides, swings, bridges and mud! Even when it's packed there is very little queueing. My little one can happily spend the day there and is still sad to leave when it closes. Great value.

    Good old fashioned fun without the flashing lights and over the top rollercoasters. If your kids are the type that enjoy the rough and tumble then this is going to be the place for them. The various rides and slides are basic but great fun and for the thrill seekers there are quite few that are a good height. Highlights are definitely the titanic and the flush. Old clothes and wellies are a good idea especially if you go on a wet day. We never tried the food but it looked nice and the pricing was reasonable ( this site is completely cashless). We ended our visit with a walk around the trail itself which is a bit more chilled than the rest of the park but no less fun. There is a wristband system in place that allows adults to access some of the bigger slides etc with the children's band giving them full access. The staff are very helpful and are willing to go out of their way to help if you have any problems. Dogs are allowed which is another plus in this day and age. A fantastic way to get the kids off the phones and away from their computers and back into the real world even if it is only for an afternoon.

    Great day out, for ALL ages! So many activities and every year they seem to add a little more. Staff very efficient on entry (literally scan QR, here are your bands, enjoy!) Take your own picnic and eat within the park (find a good spot along the trail).

    Great value, great adventure for my 5 grandchildren. The 4 year olds were free and the older one 7, 8, 9 were less than a tenner each. Car park free but take wellies and trainers and maybe a towel and some spare pants for each kid. I used an old stroller to push around the bags of stuff and it worked well. There is a lovely trail and a myriad of rides for all ages, you can even pan for gold and gems over the bridge. Even a simple rotary hose pipe skipping game gave great fun to the two youngest. I think the Titanic was their favourite ride they spent two sessions of at least 25 minutes on that rise alone. The staff were smiley and helpful, toilets and shower facilities were very clean. You really have got to go because they will have a ball at this place but you will struggle to get them to eat lunch because they have to leave the rides. Take a bow Crocky Trail! Good Job!

    Good old fashioned fun that kids under 12 will love. Rides & slides are a little custom made and look rough and ready but kids don't care. Great trail walk with lots of additional activities. I would organise a visit around a dry day and take lots of water, kids will become thirsty and red faced! Good day out, without the need for technology.

    My son said he had the best day ever. He's quite scared of heights but the guys were so encouraging that worked there. And didn't pressure him. We spent all day here trying all the fun stuff and sat in the little tree bench on the trail for lunch. Had a great time

    Great for the price my 6 year old got more out of it than my 3 year old I'd say if your a yellow band you're well away where as red bands there are limits so he got frustrated that he couldn't go on things with he's brother etc the trail is great long to! Could definitely spend all day here and her your money worth also the food was really reasonable!

    Firstly The Crocky Trail is a crazy place to visit. We visited during the summer holidays on a Friday, we booked the tickets in advance, £12 per adult and £15 for a child. There is plenty of parking, most of it on a hard standing but the overflow where parked was incredibly firm despite all the rain. Very quick to get in, everyone given a wrist band on entering. Don't be expecting Alton Towers, all polished and new, what you do get is a lot of rides that the kids just love. I literally had to sit and watch my son go around and around on a ride for 30 minutes cos he loved it as did the other kids. There's plenty to do and because there is so much there's not much of a wait to get on things. The food was good, not to expensive a a really vast selection of ice-cream. I would say the Crocky Trail is priced right,and well worth a visit and will kill a few hours.

    Excellent day out for children and adults. We got there at 10.30 and didn’t leave till half 4! A number of different things to do such as the slides and the Crocky trail which has a number of bridges and small activities around the trail! On arrival you have your QR Codes scanned and then are given wristbands. Depending on your colour wristband that indicates what rides you are allowed on. Dogs are welcome but for me it was very crowded and loud. Excellent facilities and a drinking tap to refill your water bottles. You have the chance to eat at Crocky bites or can bring your own picnic! The ice cream was very tasty and not a bad price either. We watched a small show called the Three Musketeers which was very enthusiastic for the children and interactive. The main thing I would do different was as some of the slides have water running down to help you slide down. Depending how many times you go on you can become wet so you might want a change of clothes if you don’t dry out in time for the car journey home!

    Great little day out there's loads to do, the trail is a bit boring but it's a nice LONG walk and the scenery on parts are absolutely stunning. Been here a few times it's a shame they've changed the age restrictions as the kids love it when the adults go on with them but that's not allowed anymore. This place is what kids use to do in the olden days it's great.

    This is probably one of the best adventure land/play I have been to. Lots and lots to do for both adults and kids. 10% NHS discount to begin with. Very spacious parking with close proximity to the main entrance. Card only transactions. I absolutely loved all the activities. Slides, football and cricket training, rope swings, basketball fun. A beautiful trail with in-house jumping Castle. Magic shows and tons of other activities. It's all set in acres of lush greenery. We spent 5 hours there and only left when they were closing g down the park. We wished we could have come even earlier. Definitely we ve visiting again soon with the family!

    What a fantastic family fun filled day out this was! For £54 it got all 4 of us in, which I think is good value for money considering the pleasure beach wanted £184 for 4 of us!! However, this is not for the health and safety boffins...some really simple yet cleverly engineered attractions here... mostly slides which have been made using trailers, tipper trucks etc. The slides are really high so I personally don't recommend under 4's, although there are a few things they can go on... they have bouncy castles, lots of swings and adventure play, clean toilet facilities and really nice coffee shops and the most amazing ice cream parlour selling some really tasty unusual ice creams...yes..they had cherry bakewell ice cream!! The trial is also fantastic...takes around an hour to do the trial and along the way you will find various activities such as rope swings, underground tunnels, swings, various adventure play...the walk is quite beautiful but take a backpack with drinks in it for those with little legs...you can take your own picnic into the crocky trial and once your in everything is included in the price (apart from refreshments and food) but what I mean is there is no extra charge for things like the bouncy castles etc. The Mats you sit on can be damp/wet...so wear old clothes that you don't mind getting wet or dirty because even on a hot day...you get covered in mud...baring in mind it's pretty much a farmers yard filled with slides and adventure play! Also do not wear shorts as you are at risk of friction burns!! The whole family must go on the "Titanic" .. what a laugh trying to stay on it without sliding off! And adults can join in the fun too if they are brave enough to tackle the big slides! Either way, if you go here you can guarantee the kids will want to come back and with a price like that you can't go wrong! (Can't post pics as they have mine and others children on them so apologies!)

    Spent a day here and have to say we were pleasantly surprised. Didn't expect much, maybe a couple of hours to get us out of the house as everything else was fully booked! How wrong we were, it was a fabulous day, lots to do, friendly staff, inventive slides and the trail its self was so much fun. Food (or should i say ice-cream😙) was very reasonably prices too. Cant wait to go back

    What a terrific place to visit with 8 - 14 year old particularly. Rustic, yes.... but simple fun activities with a twist. Great food too, that is not extortionate in price. If you want to tire the kids.... then this place brings a peaceful end to the day.... as long as they don't snore!

  • 5/5 Emma C. 1 year ago on Google
    Expensive but well worth it! We got there for opening 10am and left at closing 5pm. Loads to do for my kids and I. We did the trail last, it took 1.5 hours but we stopped and played on all the equipment on the way round. We took a packed lunch and bought chips to go with it. Chips were delicious and freshly cooked. Lots of picnic space. The food menu looked good, pizza, chips, panini, burgers and hot dogs. Prices as expected. Free onsite parking and loads of it. They have a section for under 5s which a smaller version of the older kids rides. Great day out, highly recommend it!

    Called Easter Sunday with all the family (over 25 of us ) mixture of ages from 3-75 great for the under 10's. My teenagers got bored not much for them to do and was super busy on the basketball hoops and the ball shooter's. We all enjoyed the trek but not worth the money for a walk that decent parks have. Would call with the little ones again, but that's it. The rest of us preferred our family days out with something for everyone to see and do, and I felt that it was a little overpriced for the teenagers who can't do as much at £17 each and the adults at £12 for basically a walk with bridges n swings 🙃

    What a fantastic place. My 4 year old daughter and myself really enjoy our first trip here. Staff are lovely and very friendly. Food was good quality and reasonably priced. Plenty of picnic benches and seating. The trail is fun also with plenty to do along the way. Dogs are allowed too which I thought was a lovely idea. The Admission price is brilliant considering all that you're able to do (age/height dependant) highly recommended to others. And suitable for mixed age families as there's literally something for everyone

    This is how fun is done!!! The last time I visited the crocky trail was around 10 years ago and wow has it changed. And for the better might I add. It was always a fun and unadulterated place, untouched by the grabby hands of "health and safety". While still remaining safe. This remains the case today albeit with extra safety measures than back in the day but still maintaining the bygone days of the joy of what it means to be a kid and having fun. They have food/drinks & ice cream on site which is very reasonably priced. The staff having to deal with the onslaught of the busy summer holidays remained happy and helpful. You are more than welcome to bring your own picnic, however. I would say the most surprising part of the visit was the price. 10 years later and it's still as reasonable as it's ever been meaning a good value day out for families feeling the pinch. I enjoyed this place so much as a kid with my brothers and friends and it's wonderful to be able to continue that on with my own children.

    Excellent day out with the kids, loved the slightly quieter trail, loads of ingenious designs for the activities, basketball connect 4, swings and bridges. Lots of slides and other rides in the main section, the kids loved. I really appreciated the free drinking water taps, lovely touch.

    Great old fashioned rough & tumble play, probably one or two things that might make Health & Safety look away but risk taking is an important element of personal development so they say. My kids enjoyed it anyway…

  • 5/5 Jackson L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great day out, we loved it as much as the kids. Fun in any weather. We are there too ! The burgers and pizza's were lovely and the staff we're fantastic.

  • 5/5 chad c. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Wynne H. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing staff. So helpful. Had a problem with online booking and sorted out asap. Many thanks. The park is fantastic. i think we adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids. Dad enjoyed some alone time in dad's prison 🤣🤣

  • 5/5 Fiona M. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic , our daughter has ADHD etc it was perfect for her, we went with friends and all needs were catered for , benches for us oldies to sit on , so much variety all along the trail for the children. Ending with great bouncy castle and soft play . Never heard of it before but we will certainly be back. 5 stars and more.

  • 5/5 John T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing memories from the day, we turned up early in the morning and didn't leave till late in the afternoon. So much fun to be had for all ages and definitely value for money. Even the local food from the cafe was beautiful. I.e sausages and burgers 🍔

  • 4/5 Rose M. 1 year ago on Google
    Never been before. Will def go again. Recommend old clothes, wellies. Great fun for all, bit mucky/ Heath Robinson "rides" but def tremendous fun. We ran out of time to do the trail, allow 3 hours min for complete experience. Food and drink well priced, toilets very well maintained, staff helpful and cheerful.

    Crocky trail it should be called dirty dusty trail! I took my 2 grandchildren aged 6 and 8 on a Wednesday there were lots of slides if you wanted to wait for at least 10 minutes to go down them. Some of them were obviously dangerous. The banding system needs looking at mine had yellow bands on and had to be rescued from some of the slides as older teenagers who were far to rough we're knocking the smaller kids out of the way. The staff looked like they wanted to be elsewhere and the toilets were a disgrace . I wouldn't recommend you waste your money coming here. Also on this day there were far to many people packed into the park and I waited at least 20 minutes to get my kids an ice cream.glad I took packed lunch as the service was poor and expensive.

    Place has lots of activities I would suggest you go when your children can go on yellow sticker rides as most of them are yellow stickers. The red sticker rides are oka ish. The trail run and activities is the best part in my opinion. Don’t like that dogs (not guide dogs) are allowed to roam free with owners in leashes. (Anyone afraid of dogs or don’t like them be prepared as many bring their beloved pets to this location)!

  • 5/5 Gary L. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a really nice play to come too, My granddaughter enjoyed the slides and swings. I enjoyed the peaceful walk around the magical woodland trail... Reasonably priced as well, will try to visit again 👍👍
