Lovely place to come for a walk, got a lovely cafe, toilets, places to sit and eat. Definitely recommend it. Went to the botanical gardens (Only open Sunday 2pm - 4pm) but very nice walk around there. Wheel chair and dog friendly. There's loads of shady areas for the hot days and couple of ice cream vans around the park.

I have run here many times, and I had never once known that there was a museum inside the hall. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was very surprised at how interesting and informative it was. The park surrounding the hall is also very lovely. Definitely would recommend it.

This is a lovely, large park great for running or just strolling about casually. It wasn't too crowded in the morning and probably offered the most deer at that time too. Go during July and you might be lucky enough to see the fawns. Although you can't get too close to them, you can see them crystal clear from a reasonable distance. Even without the animal tour guides the park is well worth a visit for a bit of green space and a peaceful walk :) The only warning I have is to beware the copious amounts of deer poop!

Lovely park and grounds set within an historic estate. I've now been to the park on several occasions when visiting family who live locally. There are plenty of walking routes to choose from and multiple entrances in and out of the park. The hall is the centre piece of area and provides views across the park and the surrounding area. This location has been used as a filming location for several films and period dramas and it's unusual for a hall like this to still be readily available to access in a public space. The facilities on site are very well used and of a high standard. The main playground includes lots of equipment and can appeal to children of all ages. Every time we've visited it has been extremely busy so if your children need less stimulation you may wish to take this into consideration. Within the estate there is also a golf course that is frequented by deer roaming. Down by the lake you can take a circular route, which is a lovely walking treat in its own right and it feels a little less busy if you want to have some space to yourself. All in all this is a 5 star park and a local Nottingham gem that is truly worth discovering.

A beautiful park to visit in summer. Its a lovely park 10- 20 min from city, lots of ground to walk. Good for day out with family and children . There is game area for kids.The Wollaton Hall is amazing with its architecture.Check their website for ongoing exhibitions and timings.

Wollaton Hall also known as Wayne Manor. A Beautiful Historic Building surrounded by well kept, Beautiful surroundings. Parking is £3.20 for 2 hours. Ample parking with a children’s park right next to the parking and also an ice cream van. An easy route round the lake and through the orangery gardens. Well maintained. A safe place for families, couples and friends. You’ll also be lucky to see swans, birds, Herons and even deer out in the open. Wollaton hall also does a movie night outside, so look out for the tickets. They fly out and go very very quick.💨 A great place, perfect location, lots of space plenty of walks. Would definitely recommend. 💯

Great place to visit. Fantastic play area for the kids right near the cafe and toilets. We arrived quite late in the day so didn't have time to visit the museum and only managed to view the gardens. The Deer are an added bonus. We paid £5 for all day parking and took a picnic along so it was a really cheap day out.

Absolutely lovely walk around the lake. It doesn’t take long and there are ducks and geese to feed. Keep an eye open for the deer roaming freely on the grounds. Parking isn’t free, it’s £5 flat fee for the whole day even if you arrive late afternoon. There is a cafe and a museum which is great but check the website because it can close on random days.

Fantastic place for a day out. I find it incredible that this place is nestled away between some of Nottingham's busiest roads. Feels like you've stepped into another world. Very lucky to have this on our doorstep

We visited here for the festive light trail which was very enjoyable, however one of the attractions was closed off due to a fallen tree. I appreciate this is no fault of the staff members, but it was disappointing not being able to walk through the light tunnel and we would've completely missed one of the other attractions had we not asked how to access it, as it wasn't obvious. Despite this, we still had a lovely evening.

Been coming here since i was a child. When they had donkeys roaming free as well as deer. Have brought my children her too. They are adults now. Its a beautiful place full of happy times ans happy memories. Well wirth visiting

Had a lovely day there. The building style is pretty unique, not something you can see all the time. It was the place in the film of the Batman Dark Knight. The garden and the deer park are free to enter but you will need to pay to go into the main building as there are exhibitions in it. It's very easy to see the male deer and the deer seems used to seeing humans.

Been coming here since I was a kid and it's just as good now!! The hall itself is magnificent from the outside and the grounds are kept immaculately. Security staff are very friendly and there's so much to do including the inside tours of the Nottingham History Museum within the Hall, play areas for the kids, and a ton of space for ball games, picnics, and the like. The gardens out back are expansive and beautiful as well and if you're lucky you can be pretty close to the local deer herd as well which was amazing. It was closed when I went last but I hear there is a smaller museum inside the stables too. Coffee shops and gift shops are on site as well with varying degrees of quality but the coffee we had was pretty good. Staff in those shops could be a little more helpful however. All in all its a varied and wonderful place that could probably do with a few adjustments in some areas. Eg the museum needs to bring back more of the taxidermy as its historic and very unique and educational. Also the parking is diabolical, expensive for one but also requires an app to use which is Ill thought out considering there's literally no signal there. So it loses a star for that but otherwise a fantastic day out.

Lovely place to go for a walk! Includes: a lake, chance to see deer, gardens, kids playground, cafe, gift shop, toilets, and a grand hall with a museum inside.

I'd never heard of this place before visiting Nottingham and googling what there is to do - i was so pleasantly surprised to find this place is vast and beautiful, with its own (free) natural history museum that actually has created and interactive exhibits, full of actually interesting information and activities. You must see their microscopic sculptures, they're mind-blowing! There is also endless green grass to walk along and explore, and wild deer roam the grounds. You'll also see friendly ducks by the lake. Overall an incredible way to pass a few hours and a great place for families.

Place is lovely to dog walk, plenty of seats. Lovely to see the deer. Only point is parking, you cannot use good old cash anymore. Used the app and got charged 0.20p more than displayed. Hence the four stars.

Wonderful place to take anybody to,especially grandchildren to. I saw two stags rutting-must be quite early in the season. The exhibition "through the eye of a needle is well worth a look. Must go earlier so we can get into the botanical garden

We attended the Christmas light display, at Wollaton park, the parking is really well organised and good signage to show you where to go thereafter. Lighting display is very good, with lots of different types of displays. Only criticism would be that the footpaths are poorly lit, in places, with ground level lights shining in your face rather than illuminating the paths.

Such a great place to visit if you’re interested in history and fossils. Lots of information and the art display from Willard Wigan was amazing!! How he creates the tiny sculptures is also unbelievable- it’s worth the trip for those alone

Beautiful park. Loads of routes to choose from, animals are quite friendly. Amazing scenery. The only downside is the price of parking, unless you come before 9AM you pay £2 for 2 hours for parking otherwise is 5 pounds for the whole day. Should have other options such as 2 hours or 3 hours after 9AM. Despite that lovely park, clean, quiet and very relaxing.

Excellent place to see deer roaming freely and a nice place to enjoy the outdoors. Plenty to of nature to see as well as buildings, a large pond with ducks, many horse chestnut, beech and oak trees, green open spaces, an absolutely beautiful garden area as well as numerous benches, picnic tables and the essential facilities like toilets and somewhere for a cup of tea! Great value for just the cost of parking which is £5 for the full day.

Beautiful walk for families, exercise enthusiasts 🏃‍♀️, photographers, and dog lovers 🐕. Great place for a day out, rain or shine. Wonderful attractions, too. There are often vans for ice cream and snacks.

This is a must see if you are staying in Nottingham or the surrounding area. It was a quick bus trip and sooo worth it. The size of the hall is astounding and surrounded by these wide green acres with deer roaming around, a nice lake which hosted many different kinds of birds, and the Hall has many different exhibits of wildlife and plantlife to enjoy. There was also an exhibit of the artist who made microscopic sculptures on a needle head. Jaw dropping to saw the least. The park itself is HUGE! There are just so many different areas you can walk around. An amazing place for sure with nice people.

Nice place to walk around in nature, huge car parks with plenty of space. The hall itself is a lovely museum and it's free. There's an industrial museum as well, please check the website for opening times, as it not open every day of the week

Wollaton Hall is one of the country’s finest Grade I listed Elizabethan buildings with the largest dedicated Natural History Museum in Nottinghamshire. Herds of deer and a range of wildlife roam 500 acres of parkland at Wollaton, which is home to all kinds of habitats, including grassland, wetland and woodland Alongside the Hall's Natural History Museum, Wollaton Hall & Deer Park includes Formal Gardens, play areas , cafés, retail shops & toilet facilities, so you can enjoy the park & its many facilities safely.

What a great place, free museum in the house, deer park, cafe, ice cream, feed the ducks on the pond. They also hold events, including music festivals. Prices in the cafe are as you would expect, its a little chaotic in there and seats are crammed together but there is an outside seating area too. Lots of parking, 5.00 for the day. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful park for a walk and good to see these lovely deers. Please keep some space and distance for them. 🦌🦌🦌

There are a large area with grass and also a lake. Besides, we can see deers especially. Really a nice place to rest, picnic, and have fun with friends. If forget preparing foods or drinks, a coffee shop and ice cream vendors are there.

Didn't stay too long, but Wollaton Park is an expansive piece of greenery not too far from Nottingham City Centre and easily and quickly accessible from across the midlands. The Hall has a Natural History Museum within and during our visit and Exhibition of Willard Wiggan's microscopic sculptures. His story and his amazing ability is outstanding and very impactful. A must see if you are anywhere nearby.

Great place, we took my mum in law out for her birthday, and it was a lovely and interesting visit. £12 per adult, and you then have 12 months free admission, and because kids go free, we will be able to take our grandchildren as many times as we want, win-win, I say 😀. The art galleries and other displays were so interesting, and in my book, every day is a school day. Don't miss out on this experience.

5 Star Attraction. More than well worth a visit. Activities for young and old alike. Cafe and restaurant great to visit. Food very good. At the moment there is a Paul Smith Exhibition which is out of this world and should be in the castle permanently it is that good. There is thing's to do both indoors and outdoors. There is also a nice gift shop. There is great adventure play ground based on Nottingham Castle

Great castle with a 1 year lasting ticket. Medium cost. Has 2 coffee shops with lunch menu also. The castle has 4 floor dedicated to robin hood, rebellion, modern gallery and art gallery. Children may love the robin hood floor as it has interactive videogames. There is a lovely children park outside the castle. You can also pay an extra for a guided cave tour, 25 min long, it is worth, but if you have the choose the city cave tour joined with justice museum is better.

Very nice visit here on bank holiday. Very modern castle due to restoration. Some parts were really nice whilst some were bit empty. However really good visit and nice experience. Everything is kept neat and tidy.

Plenty to do but it's not really a castle in the true sense. It was a castle and there are remnants of it and the building that is now there was a stately home I think. The ticket you purchase gives you access to the grounds for a year and we visited over two days. I would recommend you do the Robin Hood experience first which is the first entrance you can see when leaving the shop and ticket office. Some good interactive boards, virtual archery and virtual combat, all good fun. Some fun easy games in the medieval area and the rebellion gallery certainly kept my attention with portrayals of Nottingham castle's history. There's a more formal art gallery and currently an exhibition about people moving to Nottingham from the Caribbean and their heritage. Another thing recommended is a tour of the man made caves that wind their way throughout the hillside. The tour guide had superb knowledge and presented in a really interesting manner, Alrighty! I forgot to mention the views from the balcony are interesting and you can see many of the iconic landmarks of Nottingham. The coffee was good from the cafe in the castle that sells a selection of light meals and cakes etc. Presumably the one attached to the shop is similar. Finally the adventure play ground looks interesting and is suitable for children up to the age of 12. All in all a worthwhile trip.

My wife and I had a lovely 4 hour trip here on Saturday. It really was a great experience. My only criticism would be that the robin hood adventures was only about 25 minutes long and meant that we couldn't do all the games and watch the film that was showing too. Aside from that it was a great day and really interesting. Thank you

Great attraction for both children and adults. Lovely exhibitions on display, with plenty to see and keep you occupied for at least a couple of hours. We also ate in the café; prices were reasonable, and service was very good. The cave tour was also really interesting. Our guide James was very informative, and really brought the stories/history of the caves to life. Groups are small, and there’s plenty of time for photo opportunities. If you’re a Nottingham resident you get a slight reduction on the price of your ticket with proof of address. And don’t forget at the time of booking to ask for the free annual pass; meaning you can revisit the castle as often as you like for an entire year for free! Excellent value for money, and definitely worth a visit.

Went before it closed for second time very expensive and not impressed. But went again with grandson and his girlfriend on Sunday 30 July thought give it another go and miles better really had great day and ended our trip on cave tour with excellent tour guide and pint of Guinness in trip to Jerusalem and now can go again with same tickets so will be going again also café very nice

The castle is nice, however, the ticket price is high compared to what is inside and what you are going to do. Some galleries are alright, but it is not a museum and a full tour can be done in an hour. Also, the ticket does not include the cave tour, so you need to pay more for this and it has time slots.

So much to do! Cafe, museum, art, history, and children's craft activities. Plus a wonderful outdoor park. Plus a single day's admission costs the same as an annual pass, 12£ and children are free.

Easy day activity. We went for Christmas market which was busy and had a lot of good food and things to buy. I was disappointed by how expensive everything was I would have been more inclined to buy something if the price was more fair. £1 entry was good which included free entry to the castle/ gallery & markets with live entertainment. Would definitely recommend for the experience.

This is a great experience overall, particularly for kids. There are many interactive displays, with the archery and quarter staff being very popular. Lots of interesting historical stories presented in very engaging ways (the noose display is bold). The outdoor play area is really well done and if you’re lucky the views from there are stunning. Kids go free and the ticket can be used for a year.

Really nice place for a walk around the grounds- the museum inside the castle is great too, loads to do and see! Reception staff are friendly and helpful. £12 for a year is also a great deal!

Visit to watch a Alan Partridge. Apparent queue to enter the venue but the security was efficient and professional. The Arena had clear signage regarding where to go and seats were clearly defined. Staff on hand to direct you to seats and even helped get the queues of ladies toilets smoothly running. Toilets were clean! Standard seating, stairs not too narrow. Good view from Block 15, Row K, seats 20 & 21- no need to watch the screens and didn't feel like I was turning my head at any odd angle. We were very impressed with the entertainment venue and the hospitality. Very good food, drink and snacking options, all at reasonable prices. The facilities around the was fantastic with restaurants, bars and its closeness to the city centre with parking, tram and bus routes. We used the lace market parking for the venue, with a short direct walk to the arena. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Obie Trice, Cypress Hill and Ice Cube... how could it be anything but 5 stars! Great venue as well though, got through security quick, lot of drink/food options inside. If you want standing need to book quickly. Staff friendly and helpful. Definitely worth booking tickets if any acts you like are playing here.

Throughly recommend, feels like a small gig even though 10000 capacity. OK so drinks a bit pricey but it's a night out. Green room worth a visit Simple Minds were brilliant

We went to see The War Of The Worlds at the arena and I was very impressed. It has been a long time since I have been to an event like this and I was anxious. When we arrived we had tickets barriers and as we had no bags we could get fast tracked through. The staff was friendly and helpful. A nice steward helped us to our seat as was not that clear as to where we needed to go. A few people were cheeky and sat in the wrong seats because they were better, the staff were polite and directed them to the correct seats and guided the correct people to their seats. a couple had purchased some tickets that was in the middle of an aisle but one was in a wheelchair. A female steward was great and managed to get a couple to swap with them so they could have an end seat and got the maintenance people to remove a seat so the wheelchair would not block the aisle. At the interval I thought there was going to be a punch up, as someone took offense at a couple behind him talking all the way through the first half and told them to be quiet. The couple took this to heart and started telling and becoming aggressive. The steward (a big bloke with a beard) calmed the situation, listened to both sides and resolved the situation in a professional manner. I want to thank the stawards for their professionalism because without that it could have ruined a great night.

Very impressed with the organisation at this venue. The staff were cheerful and very helpful, from guiding us to our seats to helping people down the steep steps. The show itself was excellent. the only thing that let this venue down, for us, was the extortionate prices of the food and drink!

Great arena. Best to get a taxi or dropped off as there's hardly any parking around (or you have quite a walk from the city centre. Staff are always helpful. Great sound quality and lighting on stage.

Amazing venue. Fantastic production quality. Lots of bars and food options which make service efficient, reasonably priced as well. Great night out!

Great venue, easy and quick access without feeling unsafe. Enough bars and food outlets so queues were managable, even bathroom queue between bands wasn't outrageous.. Prices for food and drink were high, but no better or worse than other gig venues. Well placed near city centre so lots of parking, bars and restaurants to choose from. We were sat opposite the stage but didn't feel far too far away and the slope of the banked seating didn't induce vertigo 🙂 Great light show and sound quality was exceptional. Also helped that the bands were fantastic..

First visit to the arena and can honestly say would definitely return again. The queue to get in soon processed and tickets scanned. The venue had plenty of staff on had to help. The venue was clean and tidy. The view was great and looked like it would be from most seats in the arena..

Had multiple problems with Ticketmaster, and wasn't expecting much from the ticket office, as this wasn't their fault, or problem, but was hugely grateful to the young lady who tried to give a tech lesson to the middle aged Dad that couldn't receive his son's gift, then tried to guide my son through the process... Then she made our days, went and spoke to her manager, and printed out two paper tickets, just like 1986, for me, all over again... Whatever they pay her it's not enough! Said it at the time, but thank you once again. Customer care, second to none.

Went to see Michael Bublé and he and the band did a great show. Booking process was a bit tense logging in on time then waiting and searching for tickets but it was worth it. The venue isn't as big as some arenas so we had a decent view up on the side seats which were steep but comfortable. Only dissapointment was that we couldn't take in our own water and had to buy theirs which they wouldn't let us have the top on and subsequently someone knocked over when getting into their seats. The loos were good but there was a massive queue after the gig. Overall a great evening.

I had absolutely awesome time! It was the first time I watched ice hockey . Great atmosphere! 👌👌👌

Excellent environment for ice hockey. Nottingham is lucky to have such a venue. Plenty of food and drink options

My first time at ice hockey and first time at the Motorpoint. The venue itself is decent, centrally located and just a short walk away from the Victoria Centre car park. Points deducted for cleanliness vibes and small seats, though the ushers were incredibly helpful. Even though the doors were open early for the ice hockey there was absolutely no reason to arrive when doors opened, so more info would have been useful.

We went ice skating on Wednesday and had a great time. We paid for 2 snowmen to hell the children stay on their feet but then managed to find another 2 for free for the other 2 children. There were more and more available as the session went on. It got crazy busy on the ice mid way through the session. The boots I had were the best hire boots I've ever had when ice skating. I was really impressed with them. Overall, it was a really great ice skating experience.

Been here a few times. Mainly for ice hockey games. They bring such a good energy to the place and make sure to include the audience. The place has plenty of toilets. Reserved seating. Lots of food and drink options but it is on the pricey side eg £4 for a coke. Some alcohol on tap. Merchandise stall for ice hockey inside and outside the building. Lots of events to participate in like raffle, the vault (money in a vault with a code) and you can win jerseys of the players

First time here. Great venue the sound was fab. Friendly staff, only queue was for the toilets at break. £7.50 a pint which is normal these days but did charge £1 deposit for the plastic cup, which you can get back, but you need to do it before the concert finish's. Didn't have food, but will definitely go back here for another show

Lovely concert venue. Smaller than other venues so you feel closer to the action. Plenty of food and drink available. Merch was more expensive than I've seen elsewhere.

Excellent venue but could do with letters been re painted on steps, also more exit signs, you have to pay £1 for plastic glasses each for your drinks but they are closed when the show has finished so how can you get your money back after?and the town could do with more signs for visitors to the town to know where to go to the arena, Pictures from our seats block 4 row S seats 20/21

What an amazing place to visit! Situated 3 minutes walk from The Museum of Justice. Quick introduction from the guide and you make your way underground. Proper footwear and a jumper recommended as it's quite cool down there and the surface is not even. The whole experience was unique and it took about an hour to complete the tour. The guide (Natasha) was awesome and she kept all of us interested and entertained. You learn about city's rich history with a bit of joke and fun on top. Gift shop available at the entrance. Definitely worth visiting while your in Nottingham.

The City of Caves is a extremely fascinating place to visit. A little difficult to find to be honest but we'll worth the effort. Our guide Andy was very knowledgeable and humorous. I'd recommend sensible footwear when visiting and it might be a challenge if you have mobility issues. Only criticism the tour wasn't that long in my opinion but, still a great place to visit. Definitely recommend.

We did not know what to expect, and it definitely blew our minds. We parked at a bus station car park, and it was a very short walk to get to the caves. Easy to find. Staff were very friendly and helpful, tickets cost us 17.50 for two people on a weekday. The young lady explained the rules and helped to get the audio set up. It is audio tour, approx 40 min. The caves are quite big and there is so much to see. It was a circular walk. Crazy to think that all of this is hidden under the city. Definitely recommend visiting. And it is good value for money. Hopefully will be back at some point in a future.

Loved going here it was a little hard to fi down but once you know where you are going it's nice, had to download the audio and have a set of headphones and you have to go on their WiFi as there is not much signal down there, I really enjoyed listening to the audio and listen to the story's behind what is down there I would definitely recommend going here to try if you have not already. I would go again if I was to take someone that wanted to go if they hadn't been already, the audio also tells you to mind your steps and head. I booked this over the phone, you can pay over the phone or on entry.

So much fun. Had zero expectations- a cave is a cave, right? But oh my - these are MAN made and our guide gave us a fantastic (Broadway worthy) tour. It was if we traveled through time. Learned so much. Even my teen managed a smile or two! Tips - get tickets in advance, wear good shoes, don't give up looking for it (please get better signage), and unleash your imagination.

Great museum to see. You learn alot about Nottingham how everyone live in the caves when we were cavemen! You will need to book in advance by a few days if you want to plan the city of caves and the national justice museum in the same day for the time slot you require.

We went as a couple. Having lived in Nottinghamshire for 17 years I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been. It was brilliant. We did the guided tour with Jessie, who was very passionate & engaging. Loved it and learnt loads. Thank you

Not your average family excursion! This guided tour showed the underground history of Nottingham from the Roman period to modern times. Tours were a bit crowded and rushed towards the end, great for school-aged children and older. You can purchase your ticket online, at the entrance or at the museum of justice.

Hidden under a bridge near the Bus Station, spent around an hour. Unfortunately no guided tour but an audio tour downloaded onto your phone instead. Helpful staff. No suitable for disabled due to the nature of the caves. Good place to go if you like local history.

Went on a guided tour. Very interesting to hear about the history of Nottingham. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Happy to answer any questions. There was a small gift shop at the entrance.

Good place to find our some history and have a wander around some caves in a city centre, not many places can offer that. Pretty well thought out as there is an audio guide that you listen on your phone to and the qr code is dotted around almost exactly in the place I lost it as I closed the window it was on. If you do, get the combined ticket with the justice museum as it saves you a bit of money, and both are great to go to.

Our tour in the caves was very interesting. Downloading the audio for the tour before starting, allowed us to walk the whole of the caves at our own pace. I would recommend this tour to all visitors

Excellent experience. The tour was 45 minutes long and the person conducting the tour was amazing and passionate. We really enjoyed it, though as feedback, i would have really appreciated that he talked a little bit slower, as not being native made it a little difficult to understand. I would suggest not taking small kids.

Absolutely great experience for my 6 and 11yo kids who enjoyed the walk and guide! Pretty informative and amazing to see history of the caves, what they have been used for and for how long, how many are there …. well how many were discovered until now. Walk took around 45 min.

Very informative guided tour to the caves under Nottingham. Lasts about 45-50 mins. Really eye opening. Guide was great and the book in was quick also.

Definitely worth getting the guided tour. Tour guide was awesome. She was super bubbly and got the children involved throughout the tour.

A fantastic hidden gem. If you visit the National Justice Museum, you can do both on a joint ticket. We had Natasha as our guide and she was fun and knowledgeable telling us about the history of the cave, there use as cellars, beer stores, ice rooms, tannery and air raid shelters. You can also see remains of past buildings hidden under the streets of Nottingham. Few steps and uneven floors as well as low bits but you are warned. Little shop, no toilets

I ended up enjoying this tour a lot more than expected. Our tour guide was great! Didn't feel like a dull boring tour full of information about the Caves. The price is fair for what it is. I highly recommend doing this tour if you're in town.

Excellent greeting, very interesting story, just the right amount of information and time (40 mins). Audio guide downloads to your phone, ok on speaker if it's quiet, but earphones would cut out other users nearby. Well worth a visit, reasonably priced too. No tacky gift shop either !

Brilliant. Why on earth haven't we been here before now !! On our doorstep !! So, an easy tram ride in. A walk to The Contemporary and steps down the side of the building, towards a little skate park. Caves entrance on the right. £7 entry - worth every penny. There's steps down, and uneven floors, but nothing excessive. Really interesting to hear the various uses of these caves and tunnels, either via headphones or an app on your phone. Takes about 45 mins - an hour. These caves have been in use for hundreds of years, last used for housing in the 1920s. There's also a little gift shop, video to watch (but no toilets on site - suggested nearest are at The Galleries of Justice, minutes away). Great visit on a rainy day. It's suggested that you book a time slot, especially at peak holiday times.

Exploring the City of Caves was an incredible journey into Nottingham's underground history! The tour guides were knowledgeable, and the caves themselves were fascinating. Just remember to book in advance to secure your spot. However, the limited availability for walk-ins was a slight inconvenience. Overall, a unique and educational experience that's definitely worth a visit.

Great experience, must do for anyone! The history of Nottingham really is fascinating. I really must give the Evie our tour guide the biggest thanks. Such a special and great attribute to both the caves and museum and made our experience awesome. Credit to the whole attraction we all the staff were amazing. You have to go! X

This was a great unique experience in Nottingham. The guides are informative and entertaining. It was amazing learn so much happened under the city for so many years.

The difficulty we had trying to locate the City of Caves (poor signage around the city and even locals weren’t sure!) was offset by the welcoming staff. Luckily we didn’t wait long for bright and breezy Natasha to take us below and tell the fascinating history of these caves. A revelation indeed and presented with flair and fun. Well worth the entrance fee too.

Really interesting place. Never really knew this place existed. Very glad the caves were saved from the broadmarsh fiasco of the 70s. The guide we have was hilarious. A sort of informative uncle. Terrible dad jokes. But really knew his stuff. I think he siento a little too long on stuff as we ran through the Victorian section to catch up. But an interesting place and looks amazing.

Our tour guide Gareth was absolutely amazing and humorous in his explanations. The tour is in depth and easy to follow and you are given the opportunity to explore the route after the tour guide has brought you through the space.

Really enjoy walking through the market, seeing different events, the stalls, foods and even when no events on it still a lovely area, I personally miss all the fountains but the new water feature is nice too, nice still have something.

well love it at this time of year it's a proper little Christmas village thay have all sorts hear from sweet stores,cotton candy ,rides,balloons ,handmade crafts stores,hotdogs ,wines, beers very cosy

It's a nice place to be. I mean it's one of the most iconic landmark in the city. Coming here all the time, never gets bored.

Lots of people out and about enjoying the summer sunshine. Eating their lunches, going about their business. Lots of atmosphere with a relaxed vibe. I really enjoyed my walk across the square today. The water features looked fantastic in the bright sunlight. Beautiful today! Recommended.

Main square in Nottingham and central point of the city. All the streets originating from the Old Market Square are packed with countless shops, restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes... To bad there are not more good bars and terraces right on the square. However there is virtually always something going on there, whether it is a food market, street performances, the wheel, the summer beach, the Christmas market...

Very well positioned tram stop in the heart of the city. Handy for getting into the city if not arriving by train. Would suggest getting the mobile app for travel updates to save time & waiting.

Fairly busy area with a good number of brands name in term of shopping. Easy transportation with tram to different locations. Quite a nice place to visit with family and a new look in readiness for Xmas.

Went to see Blood Brothers and loved it. I've never really been a fan of musicals but this was so good with some really standout performances (The actors playing Mrs Johnstone and the Narrator in particular). The theatre itself is a real beauty. It's old so you have to forgive its shortcomings such as the slightly uncomfortable seats. Staff were all lovely. Highly recommended for a good night out.

Regularly visit here. Never had a bad view. The staff are always pleasant and happy to help. Accessibility: The seats are at a good height and there is a lift. Tram stop right outside. Only downsides are the ladies toilets do get very busy and having to stand up for people to come out of the performances is annoying.

Went to see Texas in concert. A modern new entrance to the rear of the original building with all the required facilities, toilets, refreshments etc. Lovely atmosphere in a cosy smaller venue whilst giving the professional feel of a larger venue. Will definitely be going to this venue again.

We went to see 'Book of Mormon' here and it was excellent. The staff were all lovely and very helpful. Just a heads up, there aren't any toilets on the middle level of seating which did make it a bit of a mad dash at the interval!

Had a lovely time with my daughter watching "Heathers". The theatre is almost exactly how I remember it from my last visit 24 years ago. There are toilets and bars on all 3 floors. A glass lift in the middle of the foyer makes all the difference for those of us who might struggle with stairs. The seating up in the gods is a little snug and the view for this show was quite restricted however the performance ( which let's face it, is the only thing we're there for) was amazing.

Lovely theatre, adequate leg room for an old building. In terms of access for disabled people, I found the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Theirs a lift to the upper balcony but a few steps to reach the top. Big, clean disabled loo. Good area to leave your wheelie walker.

I've been coming here for almost 30 years and we love it. There's so much charm and character. Prices for snacks and drinks are extortionate but that's to be expected. Could do with a bit if a dust in places too. However, as an adult of 6 feet, I really do struggle with leg room 😅

I love live performances and the cast, set and direction in And Then There Were None, which my family and I saw last night were all brilliant. The only downside to a trip to the Theatre Royal is the lack of leg room. I'm fairly tall but nowhere near the 6 foot plus of everyone else in my party, who were 'folded' into their seats. My advice - book early and choose your seat carefully.

Sat at the very back but still had a great view. Good seating, clean toilets but most importantly an excellent sound system. Watched Nick Mason ex Pink Floyd drummer. Great show.

A lovely theatre trip to see the panto... Joe Pasquale was brilliant in it. The theatre is a beautiful old building but does mean that if you're too far back in the stalls you can't see the full curtain of the stage. Staff were very friendly. Drinks and snacks were massively overpriced!

We saw the philharmonic Orchestra and it was excellent. The sound of the music filled the auditorium perfectly. The building is modern and clean. The seating is a bit close together but still comfortable. Snacks are available. Just outside the theatre are many good restaurants, shops and a mall. Great location. Highly recommend.

We seen Peter pan goes wrong, brilliant show that the whole family enjoyed. The theatre its self was lovely and full of charm and character. Would definitely recommend

Always a great experience at the Royal Concert Hall but last night we experienced our first true orchestra at the venue and wow it sounded phenomenal! The acoustics were just awesome.

Just thought I would take the time to say a thank you to all the staff at the Concert Hall on Saturday. Every single one of them were polite and courteous. My gran is in a wheelchair which was her first time using it since her stroke and was a little nervous, they made the whole experience wonderful. Even bringing the chair down to us at the end of the performance. Toilets were very accessible and everything was sign posted for ramps and lifts.

Went to see the amazing Rumours of Fleetwood Mac tribute band - superb venue with nicely sloped seating fir good viewing. Handy having the link with Q parks for easy parking. Drinks/snacks etc pricey but have paid more at the another Nottingham venue! Would highly recommend for a visit for entertainment.

Panto was fantastic and Shane Richie did a fabulous job. Additional in stalls ice cream sales made the interval easier and great staff were supportive for the access needs of our party. Always a pleasure to go to this iconic venue

quite an experience at the Royal Concert Hall! The seat and view being amazing is a plus, but it's disappointing about the rude staff and lack of information. And £2.50 for a bottle of water? That's quite steep! areas for improvement with the staff.

The show Fairytale in New York was enjoyable just a pity the sound was too loud and it distorted the speech and singing of the artist. The dancing was excellent . I thought it was because we sat on the 5th level but the row behind us never came back after the interval. Such a shame.

Another city another Spoons for breakfast. Can honestly say best I've had in a long while. Presentation is everything. Eggs were cooked, albeit not over easy, but prefer them cooked than snotty. Nice and clean

In the centre of Nottingham, 2 bars, one downstairs one upstairs. Real ale, lagers, wine and sports. No parking available. It was quiet when we visited. Cheap beer, £1.77 a pint!! (Oct 2023) in the centre of Nottingham!! Typical spoons food, vegan and of options available.

Good as far as wetherspoons goes... even better if you get the window seat on a Saturday night! Really friendly bouncers and an extremely friendly (and funny) waiter who's name I didn't catch

Strong selection of beers, including g world beers at fair prices. Great breakfast and a more than usually large pub menu. Would be difficult not to find something you want to eat. Will be back with wifey cuz they have her favorite, Leffe Blond, on tap.

Good choice of drinks and shots. Cheaper then most places. Bar staff seemed nice enough.

Lovely food, could have done with slightly bigger portions. My food came out super quick compared to the wait time given which was brilliant but my friend who ordered before me came out much much later and later than the wait time so we couldn't actually eat together. Good prices. Very busy, staff behind the bar did well upstairs. Friendly and helpful.

Typical of Weatherspoon chain. A nice meal at a reasonable price. Ordered on line from the table. Very quick and efficient. A member of staff happened to be taking his meal break on a table nearby. He noticed a couple of things we needed, and he interrupted his own meal, to ensure all our needs were met. Highly impressed with this young man. Unfortunately didn't see his name. However he is a credit to his employer and the chain he represents. Highly recommended.

Never ever again. If you want salt, just go other place.. We want 3 times or more salt. But they told that they do not have. I have never had these situation at any weatherspoon member... We had to eat without salt......

Cheap drinks, but quality all the same, service good and always a mix of different ages students or hen/stag dos from various parts of the country. Some groups just out in there from a good weekend. Security very good on the doors but pleasant.

Group of 6 up for the cricket, rained off so found ourselves somewhere to have a couple of drinks and a bite to eat. Chose this pub and pleased we did. Food for a Wetherspoons was very good. Great service too

Service was OK but the food was shocking, I had the large mixed grill and it's the worst mixed grill I've ever had. The steak was so thin it had no choice but to be well done and the onion rings just crumbled when you tried picking them up. The atmosphere was also very bad, there was multiple groups of students, which I have no issue with but they were very loud and volatile towards each other and the staff just left them alone and unchecked. Even the bouncer/security just looked at them and smiled. My first and last visit to this place.

Came here for a quiet breakfast. Nice and polite staff. The food was nice aswell, it was clean and the toilets was also clean. Only thing I can say is that you feel like you are crambed into the seating area. There is so many tables squeezed into a small place.

It's bang in the market Square in the centre of Nottingham with a really wide entrance/ first bit of the pub with a lot of seats and standing area which makes it great for meeting up. There are 2 floors so past the downstairs bar are plenty of seats and tables for eating or just drinking. In true Wetherspoons style the toilets are down 2 flights of stairs. Upstairs is a bit smaller but there is a good view over the market Square (although the square itself leaves a lot to be desired) and if you are seated upstairs there are toilets on the same floor 😉 Let's face it for a central city pub it's kept very clean, it's fairly busy, it's cheap, the service from the staff and waitresses is usually pretty quick and good. There is no parking but the trams stop literally outside the front door, the buses are just up the road. It's a great place to start a day/night around Nottingham, I'd even go as far as to say it's the 'new left lion' which if you are from Nottingham you'll know what I mean.

Ordered breakfast here this morning… 1.) the eggs was like rubber and well over cooked 2.) The bacon was black! 3.) The sausages was warm with no flavour 4.) the beans was cold and hard 5.) the hash browns was okay, toast was okay too The staff member that served me had nothing to smile about. This place has really gone down hill such a same I think the chef should think about a new profession.

My party of 6 (4 adults 2 children) had a main meal, drink, and dessert. All in all the bill was just over £60. The food and drink were very good for the price. The service was what stood out for us and was above and beyond what we expected. Absolutely fantastic.

Our go Wetherspoons in Nottingham city centre, called in yesterday after a bit of shopping for a spoon’s breakfast, not too busy (can get really busy and you can struggle for a table ) friendly staff the usual good prices and a hot breakfast 😎

Another typical Wether spoons, pretty much like the Briar Rose in Birmingham. Very busy place. Real ales available. Enjoyed my visit.

We went in for a quick birthday breakfast at 9am. There were a few people in the pub, but it was deathly silent. The lady behind the bar was polite, and the food was hot, but one of the coffee machines was turned off, and the other one was running low on coffee & it tasted very bitter. Loved the option of having mango chutney with our breakfast next to the ketchup. To try and liven up the mood I asked the bar lady if she could put one of the TVs on, so everyone in there didn’t have to stare blankly at the beige walls. She had to go and ask the manager, who advised they couldn’t turn it on as they were “saving on electricity”. It didn’t seem to bother them that they had all the marketing TVs, the row of fruit machines & enough lights to power a small village on though…

I didn’t quite understand the first and second exhibition but the third and fourth ones are quite interesting. They were projects that children and artists worked together. I would like to think that they are artistic versions of playgrounds for adults and children to play together. There are also drawings on the wall with quotes from the children. Very fitting for families and children to visit and play.

Very good gallery overall, the interior was immaculate and the atmosphere was friendly and very comfortable. It's a nice public escape from the noise of the city. Can't wait to see if they have more exciting artists to present.

I remember coming here often as a child growing up, which initially got me into art in the first place. First time visiting again after a long time, and I love how it's stayed the same! Would love to see more exhibitions in the future, and come visit again :) Also, not sure if The Space on the lower ground floor is still being used as part of exhibitions or not? But I remember that room being the best part of my childhood!

Very nice museum. Safe and professionals meaning all the locations to help with visitors questions. They have an outstanding museum store and a super cafe. They had 3 special exhibitions, all stimulation and interesting. Well worth a visit.

Gallery was lovely! Many different exhibitions. The one with the Nuclear fallout shelter was cool! We went to the art gallery cafe on the basement level....Nice coffee....but they don't bring it to your table....they call out your coffee order ....and you have to go get it yourself from the counter next to the barista. Cheers John

I really want to say something positive about this... the cafés nice! In the Contemporary's defence, they do loads of great activities for young families, but, as the parent of teenage children (one of whom has a real artistic talent that's definitely not from me!) we're yet to see any art there that we find both thought provoking and skillful. All too often, it's neither. We regularly use it as a bit of a cut-through hoping to see something interesting. I'll edit this when I do!

An excellent gallery that always puts in interesting exhibitions. The gift shop is very generic - nothing really Nottingham about it. But helpful staff, good things to see and an excellent cafe make up for it. Good community space too.

I was here for an evening concert. It was a tribute to Abba and I loved it.. it was candlelight concert do the vibe was very romantic and calm. Totally recommend this spot and the concerts held here

Very obscure “art”. The idea of contemporary was very pushed and stretched. There was nothing worthy of seeing mostly TV’s attached to plywood and meaningless, simple, bland “art”. At least it was free and the store might be interesting for some.

Definitely would recommend visiting. Wouldn't be able to make a whole day of it as there is only three relatively small galleries but definitely an interesting place to have a look around and take in some new ideas. Cafe is lovely and has lots of choices.

A fantastic art gallery where variety is a criteria, its free entry though there is a donation box for the public to add a donation. There is usually something happening throughout the year. Would advise to check their website for family fun over the school holidays 😊. When there are ticketed events, i would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

Having a free afternoon to myself, alone in Nottingham, i thought i might visit one of Nottingham's best galleries. Parking is always an inner city problem, but I finally arrived and was so looking forward to being inspired and awed by the installations and art I expected to see, but sadly, that was NOT the case. I don't know if I'm just a complete art imbecile, or don't understand it, but I've been to some of the best galleries all over the world, including the Uffizi, The Louvre, The Guggenheim and many others - but honestly, NONE of what was inside this gallery could really be classified as "art" in my mind! It was a mishmash of weird audiovisual displays, badly presented, in stark unwelcoming, blacked out rooms, and unless I read each card description of the installations on the walls - I was at a complete loss as to the relevance of any of it! What a crock of.... !! That's my review and there is nothing that anyone could tell me or explain to me that would make me change my mind on that! Luckily, it's free to get in, cos if I'd had to pay, I'd definitely have wanted a refund! So, if you have a free afternoon in Nottingham, go someplace else! Maybe Tesco's would be better!

Spacious, organized space and helpful staff. Nice gift shop with lots to choose from, good for presents. Friendly cafe with clean, well presented toilets. Gallery was tidy and had a good atmosphere. Thought provoking and professional exhibitions. Noticed the roof outside the entrance has a lace pattern, fitting in with the history of the area. There is a Tate modern feel to the building inside and out. Free to get in, but felt I should leave a donation which is easy to do. I look forward to more visits!

This is a great place to spend a bit of time for a small donation with some very interesting pieces and a fun giftshop to end your visit

There are always great exhibitions here. It is a great space to while away the time and enjoy the art. The cafe bar downstairs is a great place too. Excellent food in a chilled atmosphere. When the weather permits, there is a good outside area to enjoy a pint or a coffee. I always pop in when I'm in the city.

I hate it. -If you don't like modern art, don't bother. -If you have kids, don't bother. Unless you want them to be seeing naked statues. -If you like empty rooms with hardly any art. Or art if you can call it that. And then they use it for nothing, have 7 staff, 3 in each room. And wonder why they can't afford to keep the place, and ask for donations. And a tour about the paintings, what is there to talk about? Honestly disgusting for my children, and the tiny little sign is really easy to miss. I know the exhibitions change, but I mean... The amazing building needs to be used for something better.

Coldplay Absolutely beautiful time had by all. 4 Violinists, 1 Cello, a stage full of candles and the music was amazing. Thank you

Lovely space. Great gift shop. If I am honest the two exhibitions were underwhelming. But that is just the current exhibitions. Is free so Well worth a visit. The coffee shop was good. Told there was a 15 minute wait for drinks which was odd. Got them within 5.

Went to see Al Murray at the playhouse. Venue is excellent. Very clean, comfortable seats, good views of the stage. Bar staff and ushers were all very friendly and helpful. Would be happy to return again.

We went to see Jen Brister – The Optimist here, front row. Her routine was explosive with hilarious outbursts about life in her 40s. I knew we were going to be get targeted by a gag or two sitting up front and we certainly wasn’t disappointed. Great theatre and great atmosphere, hopefully be back soon to see something different!

First visit to the theatre and found it to be a very enjoyable one. Our tickets were for the upstairs seating and it was a great view. The sound was excellent, the lighting was excellent and the play was excellent. Looking forward to booking another visit as soon as there is something of interest.

The playhouse is a stunning theatre that deserves more praise than it gets for the venue of its size. Featuring a really diverse lineup of productions throughout the year, it's always a pleasure to see shows here. The only thing that I can really put as a negative is the parking as there isn't much nearby if you want to be close to the theatre itself, there's a strip right outside and a few side streets but it can get very busy understandably. Price wise tickets are competitive and the staff are all friendly and welcoming, can't fault it really. The only reason I've marked it down slightly is the parking, otherwise it's fab!

Great little theatre, saw Scrooge with Keith Allen. Staff great, booking easy. Overall a really good place for a family night out. Would highly recommend seeing a show here

Would just like to say how brilliant Minority Report was! The staging, special effects and acting was just superb! So much better than I had ever imagined. Being a fan of the movie I couldn’t imagine how you could pull this off in live theatre however the whole company did this with bells on! A great venue to watch it too. Good luck in the west end!

We have just been to the Playhouse and have seen a brilliant play called First Touch, great cast and excellently written by Nathaniel Price. This is the must see play of the year

A small theatre but very comfortable. The show was engrossing and emotional at the end. Watched the Bee Keeper from Aleppo which we thoroughly enjoyed. Acting superb.

Small venue with pleasant staff. Enjoyed The Story of Soul with a brilliant cast. Only 4 stars as a large part of the bar area was closed due to another event being held in a side room, better planning required as this resulted in large queues and many people in a small area.

Lovely venue. Comfy seats with decent leg room. Good view of the stage. Busy bar...pays to preorder, long queues,some folk missed out getting served before show started. Long queues as usual for the ladies toilet. Parking close by at the NCP car park,but expensive if you don't have the app. Good exhibition in foyer.

As usual the Nottingham Playhouse puts on a great show,'Big girls dont cry' Frankie Valli & the four seasons tribute were amazing! Superb! The staff are very helpful & friendly. The accessible seating is confortable with a good view. (Just to note there are several steps even to get to the accessible area & sadly the lift wasn't working on this occasion with clearly no alternative! Many people with mobility issues were struggling.) This affected the people I was with too which caused a little anxiety) but this is the only time it happened for us so I've not deducted a star xx

First time visit to see Minority Report which was excellent. Sat in row i. Great view of the stage. Lots of leg room. Parked in Mount St NCP for £6.95 using the Playhouse promo code you get when booking. Have to download ncp app. The bar is a bit soulless. Was much better when it was the Lime Light.

A wonderful and vibrant place that always offers a great range of affordable options. We went to see a live production of " The Minority Report " and thoroughly enjoyed it, great acting and sets, slickly put together. There are lots of price ranges and choices for all pockets. The seating is comfortable and tiered, although I recommend balcony or central stalls for the best view. For the best value tickets try the wings or outer seats, with still a decent view. There is a bar attached so you can make a full evening of your visit too.

As not much of a theatre goer we dicided to go as a large family to see a show. I was very impressed with how modern the venue was and how well staffed it was with actual people rather than just a load of tech. The seating was comfy and it seemed the views all round were good. The stage tho small was cosy and the use of video screens was well placed. A great theatre and will be returning

We love the Playhouse! Staff are all really helpful and the variety of shows is great. As a disabled theatre goer I feel they take access seriously and are committed to making theatre accessible for all.

Me and my daughter inlaw go quite a lot brilliant shows everytime 😊

Hansel and Gretel in the Neville studio 31st Dec 2023. Just ...WOW! Quotes from my 5 year old daughter today; "it was so good, please can I watch it all again?!"..... and "all of it was my favourite part, I can't just pick one thing!". She absolutely LOVED it and has not stopped talking about / asking questions about the performance all day. She is quite shy and she hasn't been to the theatre before so I was a little apprehensive about taking her (especially as the original storyline can be a little scary), but it was very cleverly adapted and was not scary at all. We were sat right at the front, the children on cushions and the adults on chairs behind. It felt very special, especially as it was an interactive performance. Last but not least, the actresses were phenomenal. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, and for sparking a new found passion for theatre in my daughter. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful old windmill. You can go up to different floors (very steep stairs!) and see how it all works. There’s a small science museum with interactive bits, highlighting the work of George Green who worked in the windmill and did scientific research there, despite leaving school at the age of 9. Nearby is a fantastic playground making it perfect for a visit with kids. £5 donation requested to keep the windmill and science museum going, which we gladly made.

A quiet and peaceful place that's worth the visit. The windmill itself has quite a bit of history. There's a small museum with fun science activities for kids. Also has a nice playground for kids.

Love this place. Excellent playground, generally quite underused. The windmill itself is cool, as is the tiny science museum attached to it. We easily spent 2 hours there, and the kids were begging to stay longer. The only criticism Id make is that it's really inaccessible - the mill itself, which is fair, but also just going up from the playground to the cafe/museum/toilets is difficult with a pram or a wheelchair.

It's a lovely, interesting place to go and visit. We went for the easter biscuit making which was so beautifully ran and my little boy enjoyed it, and the science pieces(3) we couldn't go up the windmill though as stairs were very steep and I had my 7mo with us. The community garden is also a lovely little place to visit. There is a little park opposite too, but don't expect to be here for more than 2 hours.

We had a great fun in this place. You can climb a few levels on a ladder to reach the top of Windmill. Very nice view from there. It's a small science museum with decent experiments. Also you can visit a small garden. It's a free entrance. Worth to visit

Getting here is an adventure of sorts as it is quite the walk up a hill. I am able to do it without issues. However, my 5 year old daughter struggled a bit. I needed to carry her up. If you plan on coming here, you should drive, arrange a ride or take a bus. We were greeted in the science centre area and given a brief explanation of the facilities. There are many levels to the windmill. My daughter didn't want to climb all the stairs, much to my chagrin, but seeing as I didn't want to leave her on her own, I didn't get to see the top level of the windmill. The view outside the windows on the lower levels is still something to behold. The science centre is on the small side. But there are still exhibits that held my daughter's attention for more than a minute.

Absolutely love it the windmill is fantastic they have a little garden with a park for the kids and if u love science come have a look a really interesting place to take kids

Amazing place to visit with friends visiting Nottingham or just a family trip. It was sad to hear there are issues with funding for repair, so windmil is currently (28.5.2023) without sails, and they probably don't go up until next year. It is worth making a donation £5. To help preserve this beautiful still functional windmill. Volunteers are always friendly, they have got a good selection of hot drinks to fuel a family bike trip.

Very nice area and the Windmill is interesting to go through (the stairs are frightening) Issue with a large sign saying to speak to staff before entering the windmill and then staff saying to just go in. Very nice grounds and people seemed to be enjoying the activity centre.

Recently did group baking session here for around 10 adults, and whilst they don't often do adult groups, it was executed perfectly. They bulked up the ingredient portions and there was plenty (my pizza ended up being 2 meals), despite our ticket prices not changing! Plus they catered for dietary requirements well. We got a fab tour of the windmill and enjoyed looking round the science centre and the garden as well. The whole team there are excellent, thanks for making our visit great!

Green's Windmill is a lovely patch of green space in the heart of the city centre. There is a great play area at the foot of the mill and behind the mill is a wonderful community garden which is hidden away. The mill has a lot of history and is great for looking around. Sadly at the time of writing this review the sails are being repaired and the windmill is not operating. When it does the shop sells flour from the mill. A great place to visit.

Very cute museum with some interesting hands-on science activities. The mill is well-preserved and the staff are friendly.

Interesting place, unfortunately not much to see. Good place for quick visit with kids.

The place is great for kids and you can climb up learning about the windmill and what it does at which stages. Great kids play area for development and there is a park for kids too to play. Super for families to go to.

It was so nice to come back here after the last few years. Unfortunately we didn't leave rich! Meal was OK, curry night. It was never the best meal but certainly not bad. Great staff. Shame they have increased the minimum bet. Will definitely come again

Great night out, friendly staff. Won a few quid as well so bonus. Food wasn't the best but it was a great value night out. Drinks prices were ridiculous for the event and as the food wasn't amazing, we were shocked at wine being £20 a bottle. We will visit again but do the pie and pint deal which is much better value.

Very poor experience. Booked a table of 9 online. Nowhere does it say you can’t book a table that size. No note on booking you maybe split up. Called the venue to discuss my booking of 9 , no mention of it then either. Wanted to clarify disabled access for someone who doesn’t walk far, was told there’s a lift by the door. No mention that it’s 200 meters to the door, then they put us at the far end of the restaurant so a marathon for him. Then we were split up on 2 tables, 1 table can’t see the track and had to watch the tv, which we could have done at home. Struggle to get bets on as not enough staff. Wrote to course, no answer, sent again, Alex called me back. Basically blamed me as I should have made it super clear I wanted 1 table, and that there was no notes on their system. Thought it was strange I wanted 1 table for 9, because if there was a booking of 32 they wouldn’t expect to be in 1 table!!!! Won’t be going back.

Such a good night. The food was really good and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. Thanks all

Brilliant evening of entertainment. An absolute bargain entry fee of £7.00. Clean place great atmosphere

Will definitely go again. Food reasonably priced. Alcohol too. Had a brilliant time

Great night out. Local tote betting available and reasonable drinks on offer. Very busy evening, so expected queuing. Food queue was very long and not many pies on offer, but alternative for the voucher offered without an issue.

Really poor cheap menu, if you dine here, probably less than £2 spent by the restaurant on your 3 course meal.... actually I think £2 is going over the top.... The rest of the night was fine and no complaints, but the food really was of the lowest quality you could imagine.

Great family night out. The food was amazing as a set menu in the restaurant. Will be back

I like bringing the family to the restaurant; a three course meal served to you, drinks orders taken while you sit and even the bets taken without having to leave your seat. The tables that aren't next to the window have a TV screen to watch the action. All the staff are on their toes and the food is really good.

Lovely evening with the kids, my only negatives if the track wants to encourage families and the next generation of fans is a smoking free area is a must as large groups of adults smoking everywhere

We had waited since March to rearrange a night out that the venue had cancelled last minute. Our visit was not the lovely night out we had hoped for. Despite being at the restaurant early our food order was one of the last to be taken. The starters were fine, but the main courses were far from it. The beef stew and dumplings was mainly swede and had little or no beef content. The tiny half-dumpling was more like a rock cake and it was obvious that the small portion had been in the ramekin for many hours as it wouldn't pour onto the plate. Two of my companions had ordered pasta which initially came out cold. The garlic bread it was served with was stale. When they sent it back they were brought a plate of pasta and sun-dried tomatoes absolutely swimming in oil. It made them feel ill. Despite assurances that they would receive a phone call as the manager had gone home, this hasn't happened. I can't believe we paid £27 a head for that. To be honest I have eaten better school dinners. The portion sizes were meagre and the quality was atrocious. I for one will not go again.

Having Been Several Times to Shelbourne Park in Dublin, Hall Green in Birmingham & Derby Greyhound Stadium, Vernon Street Derby over the last 45 years this is 5 Levels below them 3 Tracks. No Atmosphere, Bookmaker Betting Market 30% in their favour & Lack of Nostalgia! How they could of held the Greyhound Derby here is an insult to the Famous Trophy. Not Impressed.

Good night out lovely food and atmosphere Stag night to start the weekend

Stood there for 30min in the queue just to find out that they don't accept debit cards (first place in the UK I think in the 21st century). Besides I was told off by the guards that I can't record anything and I have to delete the video- despite it's broadcast on TV (there was no sign informing about this). The racing itself was great

Fabulous evening and good food. Table service for taking your best and with minimum stake just £1 made a great time, overall for the 15 races we only lost £6. So a very reasonable entertainment fee for otherwise non gamblers.

Always a good charity night for our charity. My family and I have a great evening. Always a squabble for chairs never enough on charity night. Food is good, though my curry sauce is a bit watery this time. Service for food is very slow. Var service good though I was sold a terrible non ahcolholic beer this time. It's more like a bitter style. It's not very nice. Didn't drink it. Took it back to the bar, though . Explained, "I didn't like it and got a discount on my orange juice and lemonade." Always an excellent night enjoyed throughly by my family.

Visited early in the morning, lovely park, well manicured, dew on the ground, sun shining through trees, dog walkers in good attendance. Surprised to see a small aviary there, but the birds looked very happy. The exhibit that caught my eye was the Chinese Bell Tower, the bell being bought to the UK during the Opium wars, my word we took so much plunder from almost every corner of the word, but you can't turn back the clock !

This park is so beautiful, I think the City Council should look after this park more. Light up this park with more flowers. It will be great and amazing if more events happen here.

A beautiful well-kept park just off NTU campus (a few minutes walk from Old Market Square). It’s home to about 800 trees of various species, some of which were planted in the 19th century. A stone’s throw from the main gate, there is a pond full of cute ducks and their ducklings. I do enjoy sitting on the wooden bench facing the pond and gaze at them as they dabble, dive, bob and quack. I’d also share some nuts with the lovely squirrels darting here and there. Such a pleasure.

Nottingham’s oldest park, opened by the Victorians on 11th May 1852 by the Mayor and the Sheriff of the Borough in front of 30,000 people. It’s a relaxing and calm place to wander around, and the wide diversity of design and features make it feel even bigger than it really is. There is also a fantastic little cafe by Waverley Street entrance. If you found my review or photos interesting please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

Nice place to have a walk. Just be careful not to step on wet leaves.

Beautiful little park with a few relics of Nottingham. Peaceful walk with my friends. We enjoyed researching the landmarks as we walked around. Feargus o Connor statue, Chinese bell tower, flower garden and there was a parrot sanctuary.

Beautiful park. You can spend a very nice time. It is located in the city center which is really good . You can come with the whole family and relax.

Beautiful place for evening walk or a picnic with your loved ones. Full of greenery and calm environment. Not much crowded on the day I visited.

Great place for a lovely morning stroll and a breathe of fresh air. Away from the hustle bustle of the city centre with greenery and sounds of birds chirping. If there were a few more coffee shops around the place it would be beneficial as there is only one shop and it gets quite busy during the mornings.

Lovely park to enjoy nature, have a picnic or a walk. There’s a beautiful lake with lots of wildlife around (ducks and squirrels mostly) and a variety of types of trees. It does get locked depending on the season so make sure to check the opening times so you avoid getting locked in!

A very small but nice park. The parrots are a really cute and the bell tower is very photogenic. It's a bit lifeless and depressing during winter bit very nice in spring and summer. Great for dog walks and picnics

Exterior need large containers with sessional flowers to enliven the vicinity helping to make the Museum's exterior far more inviting, good tourism is vital.

Great place for all the family to visit. Educational and very entertaining.

Little hidden away, but great museum. Bigger than it looks from the outside

I did not realise we had such a museum, why is it hiding from me?! Today of all days when google asks me to review it! If I had found it I would 100% give it five stars, even if I didn't like it. For hiding though?.. One star, very disappointing.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much and went in to kill a couple of hours before going for a meal. I was very impressed however and also surprised by how much is actually in there. VERY interesting! We will return.

Showing how people lived and shopped in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Included is displays of toys and other objects from normal life up to the 1980s. It's funny seeing bits of your own life in a museum!

What a wonderful , museum from top to bottom, the Anderson shelter was a special moment. Whils't my wife and I were in there, two local Nottingham Ladies were reminiscing about there experiences of living through the war in Nottingham, the one lady even reproduced the sound of a Lancaster bomber as she explained the noise they made to her friend , which flew over Nottingham on there way to Europe or back. The young gentleman on duty in the museum also gave us an excellent insight ,making the museum come to life as he talked to us about the various items on display, and even mentioned about his family's involvement in The sherwood Foresters Regiment during WW2. 10 out 10 for the museum.

I've only been once but I had a great time here. It's an impressive building with some great things to see once inside. I'd go again yes.

Amazing & beautiful!! Free parking, beautiful landscape, waterfalls & park for children to play. The boats are so fun! I would highly recommend a picnic & day out on the boats or a game of crazy golf. Lovely little café for drinks & food.. Such a well kept, clean & beautiful park with lots of history & historic building!

I had lovely walk around a lake. Nice to see boats and kayaks.Need try one day!(when less windy). Good stop at coffee and toilet. Must stop is art exhibition. And look what is in theatre.

I must have driven past this place a gazillion times and always wanted to visit. 💯 worth it. The Sun, like in all cases, made it look even better!!! We got to one of the entrances seeking to find car parking. We were told there were 3 car parks. The representative at the desk directed us to a FREE car park for guests, otherwise you’d have to pay. The Perfect Car Park outside the Arts Building leading you on to the walk around the lake. A beautiful, well maintained area. There is also a provision for ‘crazy golf’ and also boating on the lake. (£5 per person for an hour). A very picturesque place to go boating. I would recommend this over Matlock due to the views and the size of the Lake. There is also a waterfall at the end of the lake which is a perfect spot for a family picture or a quick selfie 🤳🏽. The grounds make you realise how big the University is, as some of the campus buildings are built around the lake. Absolutely stunning buildings. A highly recommend place for families, couples, friends and a picnic.

This is a very large park. My wife thought this place was wonderful. My 5 year old daughter didn't think this place was very great. We walked around the park and ended up back at the tram stop. There are many Canada Geese here as well. Seems we're not the only Canadians visiting the park currently.

Great park to just hangout. Stroll around here, enjoy the view & fresh breeze. We went during semester break hence less people around. Was great. History. The site, originally part of the Highfields Estate, belonged to Joseph Lowe who along with his son Alfred, developed the site in the late 18th century and were responsible for much of the landscaping that is visible today. In 1789 Joseph Lowe constructed 'Highfield House' which was to be used as his residence.

Beautiful park - came from Derby (but we didn’t shout that around) for the first time. Was fairly busy due to the weather and bank holiday but we loved it, played foot golf and crazy golf, then an ice cream before playing on the large play park! We’ll definitely be back :)

Great place to come to do multiple activities. The price was reasonable too. We did mini golf and the took a rowing boat out on the water. Overall great fun.

This place is absolutely gorgeous I love it has university part of the park it has park for kids it has picnic area too there alot to see hear they have 2 cafes one outside one inside and inside cafe is attached a art exhibition very nice they do activities for kids here too

Lovely place to visit either for a quiet walk around the lake,or something more adventurous like crazy golf,or boating on the lake itself. You can have a lovely coffee and cake in the cafe or picnic on the grass. As well as looking at the exhibitions on show in the lakeside building.

Used to visit here on a regular basis, however this was my first visit for over 6 months. Thoroughly enjoyed walking round the lake on a sunny evening and was impressed how tidy and well kept the park was. Rowing boats available for rent, as well as mini golf and football golf. Good for families, with large grass areas for picnics and a regular ice cream van parked up. There is also a small coffee shop in the Lakeside art centre.

Big picturesque park, kid and buggy friendly. Yes bring kids bikes and scooters to get around faster. There are some amenities at the cafe you can also do crazy golf at cost and hire boats at cost. Part of the park is sand based so prepare for that, we avoided it as we were there for the day and didn't want to have clean up issues.

Beautiful place to visit with your family or loved ones. Nice play area for kids, beautiful scenery, nice lake, very friendly ducks, geese, flamingos, they literally will come to meet you. Art gallery is also interesting and even kids friendly. The Cafe joint is good. A visit during the Spring time is highly recommended as there are lots of flowers and lot's of activities like boat ride etc.

It's a magical place with breathtaking views! Must visit!

Great place for team building activities. Awesome guides and fun activities. Our group of twelve had a fabulous time even though 80% of our group was over 55. Most were able to participate and a fun time was had by all. Don't forget to get a warm welcome from Maisie 🐶🐾 highly recommend 🙂

Brillaint day on a stag do. Axe/knife throwing was well organised. The combat archery is great fun and I’d recommend it to anyone; and the laser tag was like nothing I had ever done before. Brilliant equipment, really inventive games and loads of fun. Staff were excellent too and really well priced.

Amazing day out in Adrenalin Jungle for my stag! Great value for money and very friendly staff. Would 100% visit again

Great set up here. Staff are very organised and very friendly. Great games. But my advice use the gloves provided on site. I had my own gloves, not as protected as theirs. It bloody hurts when you get hit. Especially in the hands 🙌🏻 great day out

Amazing day out any great value for money . Staff and the owner went above and beyond . 100 percent recommend for a fun filled day out with friends or family.

Went here for blindfolded driving for my brother in law's stag do and was really fun. Good place to go for activities and something to do.

We had a great time and our instructor matt was brilliant. Funny and took his job very seriously ensuring everyone was safe

Absolutely loved it!! Me and my partner did 4x4 off road driving and archery. Martin was great fun and a really great/patient instructor. The woodland track had lots of dips and challenges which I managed even though I was laughing too much. Honestly one of the best things we've done in ages and I highly recommend them. Awesome day thanks!!

We had a cracking time here completing the Jungle Challenge and some Knife and Ace Throwing. We were actually the only group of site so it felt almost like a private experience for the ten of us. The weather was in our favour keeping us warm in the sun but cool in the shade, the trees holding off the worst of the sun burn. Of the activities we did, we had a great time and the staff were having a laugh and a joke with us the entire time. We would love to come again a different day for another round of activities!

Absolutely loved my 3 HR driving experience. The instructors were excellent and the terrain was varied and in places challenging. We were in a 110 defender which as expected has seen some action, although how could it not when you put it through this action daily. The holding area had plenty of places to sit, toilets and a little shop for extras like chocolate, crisps etc. Tea and coffee were on tap and free. We watched other groups doing paintballing, archery, assault course's and quad biking and heard no negatives in the café area. Really enjoyed it, I wish I could have taken my own Defender round.

Awesome day for the boys! 4 hours of running around shooting each other 🤪😎🙌🏻 Very well organised place and kit was clean too. Children sent on for ten minute sessions at a time and then emerged out of the woods and back to base to recoup and restock up with balls before the next challenge. Bought 600 paintballs for the afternoon and didn’t even need them all so only buy 400 for a morning or afternoon session. Free tea and coffee available on the picnic benches throughout the afternoon, free parking, porta loos (you are in the woods after all!) and we also took our own cold drinks and snacks and left them quite happily in our base for the afternoon. Children slept well when they got home!! Great day out and would highly recommend!

Great day for a works team building day, we rescued a duck and then did blindfolded driving. Instructor was very passionate and enthusiastic great day throughout
