Visitor Reviews
Went here with 2 kids, aged 4 and 8. Great value and its been revamped recently with lots of interesting things for adults and kids. The Chambers of Horrors is brilliant and very real and a bit scary but great fun! Spent about 1 hour going around it and had a bite to eat in the cafe afterwards. Good value all round.
