I haven't, but my sister took her family and said it was massively overpriced and generally crap.

And she is usually quite easily pleased.

Went there with school about ten years ago. Quite fun, you can get round it all in a day. The driving of the lego karts is good!

You get to drive little car's around biggrin. Apart from when I went years ago I got told off for ramming someone out the way.

We have been a couple of times now, both times on Tesco Clubcard points. Kids loved it, so it worked for us. We would have found it hard to justify best part of a ton for the day though. Very expensive food and drink inside as well, so don't fear pikeydoom if you take a pack up, because everyone else does!

I have been a couple of times, always found it to be a pleasant way to entertain the children. However as said already, go on clubcard points otherwise it is very expensive.

Most of the rides are pitched at the 5 - 10 year olds, it certainly isn't Disney and some queues can be a bit annoying, but you can buy express lane tickets too.

Taken my boys a couple of times and they love it, it better value if you use the Tesco way though with the points vouchers otherwise nearly a ton for the day is pretty expensive....

We found that.

Alton Towers crapped on it from altitude. Even with a 7yr old.

My neighbours used Tesco Clubcard points too, so it was OK.

Fortunately for me I have neither children nor a Tesco Clubcard, so it cancels out smile

Tesco vouchers are the only way to go, otherwise it is seriously expensive.

Been 3 times with the kids on the Tesco points.
Agree with everything above.
Once you are in everything is expensive, even a non refundable £1 for a locker, so you don't have to lug your lunch around all day.rolleyes

Best to go very early in the season. We did the first time and there were no queues for anything.
The weather can make or brake it though and they will charge like a wounded Rhino for one of those disposable rain coats from a vending machine.


Pirate Falls is fun and the Viking water ride is cool!hehe

It's pretty expensive (although I saved money on tickets from lastminute.com), but I really enjoyed my day there last summer (and I was 20!). The rides weren't at all bad and the LEGO cityscapes were fantastic.
