First visit since 2010 and what can I say, its beautiful. What BBB Leisure have done with this place should be highly praised, the farm park was full of happy animals the indoor areas looked wonderful and had plenty to do and then there is the water park. On a hot day there is nothing better. Far better value for money than Gullivers. Thanks all for a good day

Went here first the first time with my kids car parking was easy and no queue to wait in , several play parks dotted throughout , slides, some small roller coasters and small theme park rides as well as animal corner and 2 indoor areas with mazes, small theme park rides etc , the park is definitely for small kids, some areas of the park needed some tlc , lick of paint or general tidy up and some toilets had no hand drying facilities , would recommend bringing your own drinks snacks & food

Good weekend gateway experience. Lots of items for kids of different ages. They have multiple play areas, farm animal experiences, water park, kids golf and a lot more. Water park is limited entry and you can choose the hour while booking the ticket online. There are multiple toilets 🚻 facilities with disabled ♿ access and baby 🤱 changing rooms. There are some special programs like farm experience and painting it all depends on the season.

We took our 4 year old for an Easter treat, and it certainly was a very fun filled day out! Plenty for a child that age to be interested in and get excited about. From that perspective I cant fault the place. Animals, rides, bouncy castles, adventure playgrounds, a maze, mini golf, splash Park, play town, sand pit and amusement arcade machines....its all there! But heres the thing, they don't say to bring cash, make sure you do. Some of the extra activities such as a "unicorn" ride only take cash. If you want to feed the animals, that's 50p in a slot machine too. Second, a lot of the park needs a bit of TLC. Amongst other things i observed, you can see in my pictures the dead plants in the tropical house and the carousel pony that needs restoration. Some of the ball blaster guns weren't working and the the vacuums to take the balls up were weak, some of the air jet pods weren't working either... I was also baffled about some of the height and weight restrictions , I could send my child on a runaway train - the biggest ride there, but not get on the campervan due to being too short and a weight restriction so adults can't ride. Terribly frustrating for all. Another frustration was that booking a 1 hour slot at the splash Park is ESSENTIAL if you want to go in. Not sure how i missed it when booking the tickets on line, thankfully it was a relatively quiet day and we managed to book on to a late slot at the splash gate. Very lucky. On A hot and busy day I am certain we would not have been so lucky. I wasn't impressed to see parents smoking cigarettes on the park (golf course and maze) and no staff around these areas to challenge it. There is a no smoking policy on the park so parents that do smoke should consider this - I understand it is possible to get stamped so you can leave the park and come back which may be helpful for you. Finally, the ice cream/ice lolly prices are extortionate. Hoping my short term memory serves me right (happy to be corrected!) - A rocket lolly was over £2, a twister the same, Magnums were over £3, and let's face it they are no where near the size they used to be! Its a shame for such a thing to be so ridiculously priced at a place that is otherwise good value! These are the reasons why I have marked down to 4 stars. What I was impressed with was how safety conscious the park "rangers" were. Every single ride attendant measured all the children before they could get in, they were quick to respond to sneaky queue jumpers and had everything bolted and chained up while a ride was in motion. Nice work 👏 For the very reasonable grand total of under £50 plus food (food menu and prices in the photo below), 2 adults and a 4 year old had a lovely day out in a safe and child friendly environment. It's a yes from me. But a definte no to ice lollies.

Had a lovely day, place is a bit tired, could do with a bit of love, but there is so much to do. We didn't get round it all before leaving at 3 (it was bitterly cold). Food was rubbish, needs improving so take a picnic. Staff were very good at making sure height restrictions were adhered to, but it was clear most of them didn't want to be at work. They were polite but not exactly friendly and happy. Ultimately the kids had a great time and didn't want to leave. I would recommend for people with children under 11.

Great partner park to TwinLakes in Melton Mowbray. This park is aimed at a slightly younger audience, probably maxing out around 8-10. Lots of animals to see which was nice.

Such a great day out even tho our little ones couldn't get on a any rides yet, they had the best day looking around and playing at soft play and the mirrored maze was great fun. Highly recommended for all ages I'd say. Decorated really well for Halloween. Can't wait to come back again at Christmas.

Could be so much more if the staff weren't all children with very little customer service skill or confience, they were all so shy and no one looked happy to be there! Overall nice place but probably wouldn't return, just needs a bit of love and a revamp as tired looking. No queues to get in though and easy parking. The princesses they had hired in from an external company were excellent.

What an absolute gem of a place. Rides, play areas, copious amounts of animals, massive water play castle with plenty of slides. This is a fantasic day out. We loved every single minute of it. The only downside is that (at the time of writing this review) you are only allowed an hour in the water park area and it has to be booked when buying tickets. While there is no extra charge, if you don't add to your booking, you can't just use it when you go there. Be warned

We had a wonderful day out. I explained we would only be doing outdoor activities and had a wonderful 6 hours, carving scary pumpkins, (Horse) Unicorn rides, bumper boats, assault course, crazy golf, slides, other auto rides, pedal go karts, trampoline, runaway train and maze. We took a picnic. Later in the day we went up to the animal barns these were empty, so masks on we took a peek at the animals. The only "ouch" of the day I had to pay adult price for a 5 year old. He is tall for his age, but still only 5 years old. Even Grandma's & Grandpa's who are much taller payed less!! There is a guide line and 5 year olds can be on or above the line, meaning full price.

Better than you might think! Great fun with lots to see and do! Couldn't fit it all into one day; although the on site food explains why most people appeared to take their own.

Great place for kids of all ages, my toddler who is 2 years old loved it, maybe too much, as she didn't want to leave. There's parks and play grounds for all ages and sizes, fair ground rides such as a merry go round and a small rollercoaster. But also inside places with food and drinks and soft play places with arcade style games, we also really liked the indoor and outdoor mazes apart from getting lost our toddler enjoyed it all. There's also lots of animals there in short alot of things to see and do, well worth the price and a great day out. Oh There's also a water park there but we did t use it as it was April when we went and an overcast day, but a really good place for families of all ages.

What a great park for little kids. I took my 16 month old and 5 year old here for a day out. There is a great mix of varied activities to keep the day full. The water park was great, queues for the rides were non-existent despite being very busy and the animal area was great. We took a packup but the food offering seemed reasonable, we did buy coffees which were decent and had some fries. All in all a cracking day out. I would have given a full 5 star, however some rides were shut, and some activities were in need of maintenance (blaster area particuarly).

It's a lovely day out for the kids. Recommend ages 7 and under. They need a few more rides, but it's lovely looking at the animals. The place is now getting dated and is definitely due a clean-up. Also, they desperately need a security system in place when the soft play gets busy. There were 5 children I saw losing their parents when I stayed for a short time. The poor lad on the door didn't know what to do. The soft play is brilliant but probably too big, and this is a reason why children are losing their parents. It would be worth the money if it had an upgrade, but at the moment, sadly, there are better places to go.

Love this place! The only reason it doesn't get 5 Star is because of what they charge for food and accessories. 2 Magnums and a Smarties ice cream £10, you could buy 3 boxes for that price. Anyway, if you find yourself going to Wheelgate Park I would say definitely take a packed lunch and a flask. The rest of the park is fine a little dated in parts but kids don't care and have an amazing time. The water park is a cool feature but again make sure you take a swim suit if your planning on going in with the kids a swim ware is pricey to bug there and the quality sucks. Wheelgate you could sell things at half the price and make money still £27 for a towel and swimwear is daylight robbery. The park itself is really fun and your kids will love it 100%. The Disney princesses show was amazing! God they were worth the entry fee alone, my little girl thought they were simply amazing. They entertained the kids perfectly and had amazing voices so well done booking them.

overall a nice day out and great when the weather is good. visiting the animals was fun and watching the falconry display was very interesting. the otter feeding event / talk was not as displayed, we just watched a member of staff throw the food to them and when asked questions from others, received one word replies from the staff member. the water park is great fun and was the perfect end to a hot day. prices of drinks is a bit ridiculous, food was adequate but nothing amazing for the price. overall a fun day out if you have smaller kids but other than that i wouldn’t pay the entry price again

This is a brilliant small theme park for the young children. We felt very proud introducing our friends and their child here, as it's on our doorstep It is a fantastic fun filled day out. Plenty of different things to keep you entertained.

So good that we bought a years membership. Plenty to do in the sunshine or rain. Animals; rides; insects; plenty of picnic areas; bigger than it first looks. Expensive at first but when you add up what you get for the kids it's good. During the parks lean periods I think OAP's could have 50% off. Tickets cheaper bought online in advance. Take some 50p's for the animal food dispensers.

Simply I can say wow..it's a very good place to come with family because there are lots of rides and activities for kids and adults...it's a well organised place and a full day needed to finish all of them..

Enjoyable small theme park. Good for entertaining up to 10 year olds for a few hours. A good variety of things to do. Several rides a small farm area, indoor play areas and cafe as well as lots of outdoor play areas. A new and big splash park area was great.Good experience overall. Some facilities/toilets were a little run down, no hand dryer working in one of the toilets and the cubicle was locked with no sign on the door to indicate that is was broken. Plenty of places to have a picnic and a only a short walk to the car to get it. There were also plenty of cafes serving the normal hot dogs / burgers chips etc. Some side attractions had a small extra charge, climbing wall for example was £2.95 but there were no signs to explain that it was chargeable which would have been helpful. Overall a good day out. If you have kids slightly older than 10 I would suggest wheelgates sister park Twinlakes, near Melton Mowbery.

Nice day out with the kids 4 and 6yo. No long queing, staff very friendly. Lots to do but need a bit of renovation in my opinion as some of the attractions look old. Also a map in few places at the park would be helpful as we didn't know where to go. Fair prices at the cafe and restaurant. Spend here few long hours. Lovely time out.

This family attraction park is great value for money. Entry was £14 each but for that everything was included, from rides, boats, shows, etc. the playground was great fun for our kids 10&12. Although the park best caters for younger children, there was plenty to keep the grown ups entertained. Highlights include the bird show, the boats, the indoor fun zone. Pizza was good value for money and all of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Kids 8 and 3 yrs old both absolutely loved it, from the outdoor and indoor play areas to the animal hands on, the tropical plants & pond area, the water splash area were all great. Kids had a great time and so did their grandparents and myself. They didn't want to return home in the evening. Can't recall anything really bad to point out. Staffs were great. Overall a Fab dayout. Recommended highly for kids 3 to 10 yrs.

Attended the winter illuminations with the granddaughters. Definitely recommend. Wasn't expecting a lot but exceeded my expectations and there were rides lit up and jncluded in the trail.

A place worth visiting. Lots of fun for the family. It's a full day out too. Wit has rides, a toy town, under 5s play section, a climbing park that is fit for adults to enjoy too. There is also a splash park which you can book hour slots for. Feels like your abroad when the weather is right. Perfect spots for picnics too.

We visited wheelgate after a trip to their 'sister site' twinlakes. Wheelgate must be the poorer of the 2 siblings. The park felt a little run down and in need of a refresh. The number of rides and things to do is a lot less than at twinlakes. The staff are good and friendly and willing to help out with any issues.

Fun day out for the kids. Waterpark is great and included in the price, but needs to be a sunny day to use. The pigs had very little straw to lay on in their concrete enclosure 😢 The tropical house was rubbish compared to years ago, had to shut the door behind you as there would be butterflies loose inside. The only things in there now are fish, dirty, smelly water and overgrown plants. Typical pricy fast food available in the onsite cafes but very nice. Coffee surprisingly good too. Staff all nice and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

We went today with my partner and 5y old, we had an amazing time ! We booked tickets online 1h before arriving, it was easy and convenient. The park is well kept, staff was OK, queues not too long , wonderful place really. Huge parking and loads to do all day!

Great day out with the grandkids. Well spread out with lots to see and do in doors and out doors. We spent 7 hours there and didn't see it do everything available. Fab on a nice day and if you get caught by a shower plenty of indoor areas to dive into but you might struggle to get the kids out. The water area is really good on a nice day. Bit cold at Easter but didn't stop a lot of kids going in.

Great smaller kids theme park with loads for kids to see and do. The inside play areas (2 major sized and 1 smaller nearer the entrance) in themselves are worth the yearly ticket price. The rest of the outdoor park, the farm and the wet park are massive bonuses. New rides and maintenance being done all the time. Its nice and quiet in winter. Good trick is if a ride is unmanned then ask a rice attendant and they will go to the other ride to open. The lights over Christmas and New years were a nice touch too (see photos). Overall you can tell they have a good team that care and put the effort in.

Although it was the school hoildays ( a Thursday ) the park was busy but because its spaced out it didn't seem it ! We didn't have to wait any longer than 5 mins for a ride. We enjoyed our day here. Plenty of variety and would 100% recommend it 👌

(Reviewing the illuminations event that they have). All I have to say is WOW 🤩. There were absolutely mountains of lights to walk around and see. All of the rides were also open apart from a couple which were closed presumably because it was too dark in the ride area itself. Both the alien and also the Pharaohs play area was open which was also good. In summary I would definitely recommend visiting!!!
