    Absolutely amazing! Tobi, Simon and Harry loved it! Underrated and spectacular. Please go on a day with good weather. Common for children to chase you but all is good. Highly recommend!

    When you think Alton Towers is only £5 more, this place pales in comparison. Around 25% of the park was closed (rides, shops, restaurants) so our day was easily done in a couple of hours. The rides that were open were good and no queue times. Staff members were friendly and chatty.

    It was a very good visit I went on a Monday morning on a normal weekday and it wasn't that busy. The queues for the rides were between 10-30 minutes I rode most of the rides which were all perfectly fine and enjoyable. Although speed no limits roller coaster opened very close to when the park was shutting. I enjoyed it a lot. Would give it a 4.5/5

    Oakwood has been getting a bad rap for a while but I used to love it in the 90’s and wanted to share the joy! We had an absolutely lovely day out! Staff were friendly, rides were loads of fun and even the food was fine, Limited but fine. We had such a good day! I fell in on the waterfall much to the delight of my (daughter) and we rode Speed, which is an excellent coaster and megaphobia, which was bone- rattling but also just as tummy turning as I remembered… a little tip though, if you are a bit old like me don’t sit in the back car! Bit whiplashy! Yes, photos were pricy and food was overpriced for what it was..but it’s a theme park! It’s hardly a shocker! … I used my club card points to get tickets so only paid £9 for 3 of us..full price is a bit expensive but d’you know what? We’d still have had a ball! Only reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is that Drenched was closed and I was looking forward to it! My suggestions to @oakwood would be, update social media with ride closures… transparency is always appreciated… and perhaps consider a non rider ticket for accompanying grandparents! All in all, still a great day out!

    What a beautiful park blended in with nature, perfect for familles with young children. We had a 9, 7 and 3 year old with us and they all had a great time. Us adults also had fun on the roller-coasters and the slides. We went on a rainy day and still managed to stay all day as there was no more than 10 minute queue per ride.

    Free parking, there are some great rides, and fun for all the family. Queue times were not too bad, for the summer holidays, but I felt a mobile app would have made the day more enjoyable, so we could see queue times and find our way round easier. I also felt the park could be safer, had real concerns walking round. I do recommend a visit, and secure loose articles on megaphobia, as its really rough, and prepare to get drenched on drench.

    We went with our three children and we all loved it. All rides were open. The are some newish attractions like the speed rollercoster which is great and also some really old skool rollercoster which was also really cool to ride on. There were some 'wet' type attractions like slide with sledge which we all loved to get soaked on. The queues were short most of the day and it was school holiday. It was definitely fun and worth every penny. We would highly recommend for any child age!

    I had the most amazing time! I went today (14th Aug) to celebrate my 13th birthday. All the staff seemed genuinely happy and kind. The high prices can be excused by the lack of guests. It was the middle of the summer holidays and I didn't queue for more than 10 minutes on any ride! Really worth a visit, and you can use Tesco points to help pay!!

    Great amusement Park with several worthwhile thrill rides all at a very reasonable price. There is free parking on site. Toilets, food outlets and gift shops are also there. Staff were helpful and courteous. A fun day way had by the family.

    Speed, Bounce, Megafobia and Drenched are great rides and worth repeated turns (but usually leave Drenched until last because you literally do get drenched!). Pirate Ship, Treetops and Snake River are also good fun. You have to pay for the firing range but is good also. The staff were all very helpful and very friendly which makes a great difference to your day. Visited end Aug and only had to queue a short time. Could maybe due a new adrenaline ride. Clean park in general and even had wasp catchers at eating areas. We were camping with our dog so we’re able to make use of the free kennels and visited him mid day for a picnic on a well kept grass surrounding. Went as a couple and a 14yr.

    arrived at 9:30 and went in at 10am. i had to wait 30 minutes for the park to open but i got on the first ride of megafobia. the rest of the rides at the park didn't have bad queues when megafobia was open, which was an issue when megafobia shut for a few hours. but i managed to get on megafobia 4 times and treetops 13 times during the 9 hours i was there for. visited on a wednesday, and the after dark was amazing! the people who run the colour fest are so enthusiastic and the fireworks are amazing! my only complaints about my visit are that there is no longer an unlimited photos option to buy when you get photos, and also that the rides were not specified when they close on wednesdays and saturdays so a lot of people got disappointed by not being able to ride rides in the dark.

    Fantastic day out, dry weather (for a change) and all ride's were great. A pity you can't just pay an admission fee if you don't want to go on the rides.

    Absolutely fantastic day out. Yes some areas of the park need a lick of paint but this is reflected in the price and offers they have on at the moment. Toilets had been renovated and were clean and tidy, rides were excellent and the staff were brilliant with my son high fiving him and fist pumping him when he was going on the pirate ship repeatedly. I really got the feeling they were trying their best, yes the park could do with some investment but the day is what you make of it and my son (8) and I had a fantastic day. Megafobia since the retrack and refurb by the gravity group is something else. I went on this as a kid and I can 100% say I don't recall it being as good as it is now! They've definitely done alot of work to it. I'd definitely revisit, we had some food at the park (pizza) it was nice not cheap but not excessive about £15 which given costs today as to be expected. Mobile Signal across the park is non existent, absolutely not their fault but WiFi coverage could be alot better just for when you're queuing etc. Overall thou a superb day out, I'd definitely revisit and recommend to others with similar aged kids or you get teens etc. Don't forget to visit Neverland with Kids, I didn't even know it was there till I found it by accident. Could really do with a few more Map Boards. Overall, Well done Oakwood and Staff you're trying hard.

    Brilliant Theme Park. Visited during the school summer holidays on a day when the weather was supposed to be rain all day. However it was mostly dry and very few people around. Only had to queue for the bob sleigh - everything else we went straight on. My daughter went 3X consecutively on Speed, just stayed on and went again. Two times we were the only ones on the ride. The best had to be Megafobia which both of us thought was one of the best rides we have ever been on. We went on Megafobia five times. Coming from the London-area, we are used to visiting theme parks like Thorpe Park and Chessington and visiting on school inset-days only so we are not queuing for hours (but still can queue for half-hour to an hour). This was a breath of fresh air in comparison.

    We had a good day out. The dog kennels are a god send and we left the park a couple of times to check on our dog. The kennels are not large but for a small, old, sleepy dog like ours they were fine. There park is a little run down in places and the staff were often surly and disengaged. I suspect some training and better recognition by management would help. The bob sleigh ride was dreadful. It was poorly managed and despite the park not being busy we queued for nearly two hours. Definitely not worth it and the one or two riders at a time is impractical in a park of this size. It really needs a rethink and ought to be avoided if the queue is any more than a few people. All the other rides were great and the queues weren’t too long. During the last two hours of the day there were hardly any queues at all. Speed and Megaphobia were excellent and worth the trip by themselves. The food is as you’d expect for a theme park - overpriced and poor quality but it filled a hole and didn’t actually take too long. I have to say that the entrance price is a little high for what it is but once the bob sleigh delay was out of the way we did have fun. The kids loved it and so did I. I’d definitely recommend the park despite its drawbacks.

    We had a great time, the weather wasn't brilliant but it worked in our favour as there were no queues. Most of the rides were open, and we could go on what we wanted when we wanted. The staff were really friendly and cheerful despite the weather. Oakwood is definitely worth a visit. Our experience was really good, but it may have been different if the weather was better and it was during the school holidays.

Roller coaster
😐 I'm a real fan of coasters, however whilst this ride looked great, it felt very rough in comparison to similar rides such as oblivion. I enjoy the g forces, but do not like to be thrown erratically about. Not really enjoyable more of a headache enducing experience to be honest.
