It was my first time at Bletchley. The history was fascinating. The tour guide option is worthwhile as it is a confusing array of buildings although a map is provided. There were lots of interactive displays and lots of personal lived experiences narrated. I was surprised at how well maintained the house is with lots of arts and crafts designed woodwork, ceilings and plasterwork. The cafe was pleasant and efficient too. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing day. Very very interesting place, all the staff and volunteers were great, filled with loads of passion and knowledge and willing to share all of it. 5hrs it took to go round and I will be visiting again to learn much more. I thank all the staff and volunteers for keeping this history and memories alive from the gate on the way in, through buying the tickets, all around the the park, the restaurant (hut 4) the shop and on the way out. I will remember today forever.

A really fascinating place to visit, more of a focus around the Enigma machine of course. We found that unlike other war museums there is less here about uniforms, weapons, medals etc which is a nice difference. We visited on one of the hottest days in summer, so some rooms/buildings were incredibly hot. It goes to show the kinds of conditions they would have been working in at a time of war too, humbling. I also particularly liked the art exhibition focusing on data. There were a few that you could contribute to. Lots of green spaces, so great for a picnic if you bring your own lunch or snacks.

An excellent day out. Hard to believe we were there from opening time (10am) until closing time (4pm). Worth signing up for the free walking guided tour (outside). The headsets cover much of the same. Walking tour lasts for about an hour. Lunch in hut 4 - pretty good selection. A lot to see and your tickets are valid for a year to return anytime. Free on site parking or train station a couple of hundred metres away.

The tour guide gave us a very interesting view of the place and the story, which is always welcome. The family audio guide for children is welcome but not enough to keep them interested, despite the embedded games. Maybe some scoring board system or progress bar would have helped -"getting hired as a secret agent" thing. The interactive screens scattered in the huts do a far better job at keping them interested.

Loved our visit which has been known a must visit for ages. We arrived @11am & left 4 hours later not having seen all the exhibits. Some will br more useful than others data capturing is not my thing but loved being in yhr place where history was being made. We tried out hut 4 cafe for lunch..very tasty & also the free guided tour. It would be helpful to explain the guided tour is just outdoors not around the exhibitions & and for us it was a bit long winded & too detailed. Looking fwd to the new exhibitions they are planning and will definitely return. Highly recommended for junior school kids & upwards.

Wow what a historic place! 😲 Far bigger than I thought it would be. Spent six & a half hours walking around the grounds and exhibits. Still didn't get to all of it! Staff were great a very knowledgeable. Great place to visit if you like WW2 history 😀

Bletchley Park was the UK biggest secret during WWII. It still remains one of the best secrets as a place to visit. If you thought the movies were good you really need to visit Bletchley and see how really amazing the truth actually is. It is totally staggering what they did in those small huts. But what is great about Bletchley in 2022 is that they have restored the site, and kept the 1940’s feel of the whole site. Everything from the huts to the cafes and toilets are in theme. There are lots of video, interactive and information to make it a great visit. As other people have said keep the tickets, they are valid for a year. It may take 2 or 3 visits if you want to read everything. One of the best sites in the UK to visit, even my partner who hates “war stuff” loved it.

Attracting visitors from all around the world, Bletchley Park has something for everyone, from absolute novices who don't know anything about WW2 to certified expert military historians. You can have the self guided tour with headphones and commentary in different languages, or pay extra for a human guided tour, which is probably going to be the best experience. There are original enigma machines, along with replicas of various other code breaking devices. The site isn't too big, so you can walk it all. There are lifts / elevators next to most staircases and access ramps everywhere, too, so older visitors are looked after. There is an impressively sized gift shop, with almost everything you can think of, including Bletchley Park gin, beer, puzzles, t shirts, etc... there are a few cafes, indoor and outdoor seating and picnic tables. The short movie clips they play in the cinema room are very informative and well put together, and the original huts with 1940s furniture are particularly impressive. There's plenty of parking and lots of staff on hand to help.

Lovely historical building, absolutely a must visit for anyone with an interest in the Enigma machine, and the first ever built Alan Touring world computer. This is a fascinating place that transcends history with the great display of artifacts used during WW2. Highly educational, and a great day out for anyone. Open Monday to Sunday, from 09:30 am to 17:30 pm. Paid parking available, wheelchair access, and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Good day out with friends and family. If you get there when it opens and leave when it closes there is loads of history on codebreakers and enigma to see. There is a cafe, pond and all the machines that they used. Some of the machines are interactive with lots of touchscreen tablets so good for young children. (Under 12s go free).

Visited on a Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Arrived as it opened at 9.30am and no queues, was recommended to take the included 1hr tour of the grounds with a guide (book at the information desk) and that was really informative. Cafe and restaurant on site, food was very tasty with reasonable prices (London influenced?) and in the end we spent over 6 hours there. Believe we saw most of not everything but you could definitely spend longer there. Great thing with the tickets is that within the next 12 months you can return again as many times as you want, so excellent value.

If the allied code breaking exploits during WW2 is of interest then this is the place. Lots of information about code breaking with interactive exhibits sprinkled in. Options of going along the guided talks or going solo. If you chose the latter, don't forget to pick up one of audio description packs (you can bring your own headphones if you wish). A great day out for the whole family.

Went on a school trip, Amazing visit. The mansion and huts really make you feel like you were one of the code breakers. The vehicles were very interesting, you had some which were used during working hours, then you had one caravan used in the 2000's. Would visit again.

Overall, it isn't as good as it used to be, because Colossus is no longer included as an exhibit and they didn't make this clear at all. Also, the Winston Churchill room no longer exists. They have improved what they do have, including a very good video when you walk in and a cinema area with another good video. £7.99 for the bath ducks in the gift shop is a rip off, but other items in the shop were valued okay. The children's playground needs some more items. It would also be good to have learning material in the museum for young children.

I had a really great experience. The site was well kept, lots of good modern exhibits, guided tours by volunteers and generally a lot of WW2 history. There is a play park and eating areas too. The tickets are valid for a year allowing for return visits. Well worth a visit.

A very immersive experience. So much information about very dedicated people with pictures around the buildings making it more personal . A lot to see and interact with . There are facilities to eat and sit down. Benches outside around the lake are a welcome break from the huts. One can only imagine what an 8 hour shift was like ! A lovely day out 😊

Visited on their 1940s weekend, it was really nice to see and hear all the different period clothing and gear. Bletchley Park as a museum was informative and interesting but not my cup of tea. Felt it was like reading an uninspiring textbook, very knowledgeable but rather tedious which, is why I suspect the ques for the few interactive exhibits were long.

Very interesting place of historical significance. If you already know the history there isn't that much more to learn, and there is a lot of repetition. It's still great to see it all in person. Do follow the suggested order on the map, it really helpful and goes in a good order to understand the timelines. Sadly, It's a bit on the expensive side and the food is very pricey so maybe bring a picnic and sit by the pond, it's a very charming spot. I think very young children might not enjoy it but slightly older or teens may find it diverting enough if they like museum. There are lots of interactive displays dotted around. We spent about 2 hours here, so wear comfy shoes.

We had a great day at Bletchley Park! Even the security were happy and informative. All the staff were really helpful and polite. We went on a tour which was 1 hour and it went so quickly, his name was John. An hour wasn't long enough tp talk about all the amazing things that happened there. The exhibits were interesting, some were interactive. I liked the fact it told you how long until the next showing of a clip or movie. The D Day movie was great. Pros: great day out, good shop, informative tour guide, good facilities. Cons: expensive food (no peas, as they run out!), I'd like to see more of the mansion set up to how it would have been, Overall a great day out and you get visit as many times as you like for 12 months after your visit which does include some events.

So much history so many unsung heroes and so little time. I was a bit time poor today but really wanted to visit this bastion of WW2 secret war winning legend. I got a taxi to the Park from Milton Keynes Central station with a quick stop at the hotel on the way. Driver agreed to pick me up there 3hours later and I was not disappointed. It is only a short walk from Bletchley station however and not much more from Bletchley Town Centre. This venue is very wheelchair friendly and is packed with information. The staff are incredible and go out of their way to make the visit special. As usual I spent too much in the gift shop but just couldn't resist as the items for sale are very relevant and not the usual fare. A gentle stroll around the grounds takes you through the actual buildings where democracy was saved by dedicated people who worked tirelessly to glean the intentions of the Nazis and give the allies the upper hand from early on. Without these heroes the world might be a different place today. The grounds are kept in immaculate condition and there is even a play area for the children, however on my visit many of the kids were enthralled by the interactive exhibits. A pair of older children (early twenty somethings) were having a great time trying on some of the authentic 40s apparel supplied for the purpose. Photography without flashes is welcome and the cake and tea I had in hut 4 was superb. There are guided and self media assisted tours available but I chose to go it alone as I'm familiar with the history. I would recommend this as a must see activity.

History at its best. We didn't realise how big the site was and how much information was available regarding the very important,if not crucial, work that was carried out leading up to and very much during the 2nd world war. You could easily spend two days here and still find things to read and discover. There are interactive code breaking opportunities for both children and adults, just a bit of fun for us but could well have saved lives during the war, well worth a go!!! Food was also available from a couple of sites and plenty of space for picnics if the weather is nice particularly around the lake in front of the house. Tours are available but get in early to book as they fill up quickly, if you miss those though, don't worry as a full audio guide is available and is very well put together and informative. Good disabled access too. Have a great time code breaking!!!!

The history of the site is presented in really interesting ways with quite a few interactive options along the way. The site is huge & fairly sure we missed bits 🤦 there was also work going on up at the house so it was covered in scaffolding so I'm really glad that the tickets are valid for 12 months so we'll be able to go back 📷😎

We’ve been wanting to head out to Bletchley Park for a while and so glad we finally did! What an amazing place. The code breakers did such amazing work and the curators of this museum have done an amazing job capturing this part of history. The grounds are also beautiful, even on a rainy day!

Excellent experience. Very informative and well preserved and documented. You need a full day or two to get through it all thoroughly. My ticket provides a second visit, so will have to go back to finish. A self listening tour is provided.

Excellent museum - held my kids attention for 3 hours (11 and 13) which is no mean feat. The 13 year old asked to visit after learning about Alan Turing at school. The exhibits are structured in a very accessible way and there is a nice balance between human stories and the more technical story of the code breaking. Would highly recommend, book in advance, allow for 3-4 hours - there is a lot to see.

Fabulous place to visit, lots of history. My wife took me there as a birthday present. We had a lovely talk with Cara, the engagement officer.

Prepare to stay all day. We arrived for our timed entry at 11pm, took a tour, and then started on the exhibits. So fascinating, didn't even notice we'd missed lunch, and then it was closing time and we hadn't got to see it all. Will definitely be taking advantage of the buy once visit many times in year ticket.

Before traveling to London, friends of ours urged us to visit Bletchley Park where Britain’s most brilliant code breakers played a very critical role in helping to speed up the end of WW2 by one to two years by intercepting German transmissions that were being sent by secret coded messages. The guides who led the tours were well informed and touring the grounds was absolutely fascinating! We took a train to Bletchley Park and the trip from London took about an hour but it was the highlight of our vacation and well worth the excursion.

Very interesting. History of the second world war code breakers. Phenomenal people. The site is very well kept and clean and tidy. It does somewhat lack in exhibits and furniture. Lots of empty rooms with story boards

Lots to see and learn on this sprawling estate. The guides are very informative, although you do have the option of picking up your own "listening guide" if you're in a smaller group. You can easily spend the whole day here and still not cover most things. I was so engrossed in learning about this place, I completely forgot to stop for lunch - don't make that mistake, as there's a wonderful café here

Brilliant, educational fascinating glimpse into the work that helped end WWII two years early. Well laid out with audio and visual aids. Suitable for wheelchair access but there is quite a large area to cover if you want to see it all. Small but adequate cafe and interesting gift shop

Absolutely loved this Manor House. Huge. So much to see both inside and out in the extensive gardens. All the guides are well informed and friendly, it took us almost 2 hours just to look round the house there's so much to see. Booking is recommended. The opulence of this wealthy family is stunning, indeed, Waddesdon is really a collectors house, and the family continue to add to their collection. The gardens are beautiful. There is a wonderful aviary, and a talk about it, and it's birds every day. The tea rooms great. This is an absolute dream of a place to visit. No height barriers, huge carpark. Very advisable to book/pay for the bus up to the house, it's quite a steep walk, and after 3 or 4 hours looking round it's a long walk back !!

Lovely day exploring the grounds, the beautiful and impressive house with Christmas themes... And the festive fair. Great food on offer from many styles of cuisine. Clean and accessible loos We had premium parking which was a bonus to drop off shopping half way through the day.

Stunningly beautiful architecture & vast grounds to see. The car park is a distance away but thankfully they do run a shuttle bus to drop you closer to the manor house. A lovely day out

Lovely grounds! Gorgeous aviaries. Would love to visit when the manor house reopens. Fabulous for meetings. They took excellent care of us, the lunch consisted of fresh tasty sandwiches, crisps, and brownies. Great coffee. Will be back next year!

Fantastic place. Great place to visit especially if want to see how the richer people in society lives. You could comfortably spend days there. Each area was opulent with the various wall coverings, carpets, parquet floors etc.. The works of art adorning the walls are great from English and Dutch painters. I am adding a few photos to speak a thousand words. The cellars, wines, jewellery. The stables were great for food. You're able to take as many photos as you like but without a flash 📸 😉. A National trust car is a must as you will certainly want to visit more than once.

The building and the collection is exceptional. We spent 3 hours just walking around in the palace to see everything. It is much bigger than you thought at first look. Only the garden was a bit disappointing as the rose garden was abandoned, some plants were dead and the flowerbeds were cheaply planted. The park is huge and lovely. It could be more pleasant if the garden could get back to the deserved glory.

Most amazing place!! It's well worth a visit and the grounds are beautiful. Very well organised with large car park and visitor reception on arrival. Bus shuttle is worth paying for as you can ride it all day, as we did, to go to get out picnic. Would highly recommend and will be making the trip again soon.

Very good National Trust property. Lots to see in the manor. Gardens and grounds to walk around. At the moment there is an art installation The Wedding Cake well worth paying to see it. The only downside of the day was good. Or lack of couldn't get much to eat at lunchtime in both the lunch places

If you are a national trust member then it's definitely a must visit place. A huge garden and equally large manor with plenty of art work to admire. We spent a whole day and will be visiting there again. Maybe a little pricey if you are not a national trust member but still worthwhile a visit. Highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff too.

I was there for the winter light festival. Walking around the outside lights was awesome and well planned. Access was via the tarmac paths which were generally good but sometimes rough and in need of repair. The private seller stalls were good offering some good wares, though pricey. The main Hall had been adapted to reflect winter stories and themes. 🥰 Disability access to the main hall was poor due to the number of folk attending. The lift was an "antique" and restricted throughput with ques to access different floor levels. The public access toilets were under the building down a steep curved ramp with no steps. But clean. Access to the main house is by a transfer bus from the car park. For this event the buses were wheelchair accessible. There were some EV charging points but I wasn't aware of these until leaving. Looks like you needed to have your own cable.

Wonderfully to go to the Christmas market and show. Made me wish I was a little girl again. It truly evoked a magical Christmas experience. I really appreciated all the art and I am so glad that everything the buildings and gardens and the the precious rooms and the treasures seen in them are being preserved. I will return for a tour when the Christmas exhibit is over.

Gorgeous place to go! There's a shuttle if you need it and lots of parking. The grounds are absolutely beautiful you can explore for hours and find lovely sculptures on your adventure and a brilliant play park with everything the kids need to be kept smiling! There is a lovely cafe and shop and usually something on in the shed It was Easter when we went so there was lots of Egg-cellent games and activities, all free, except face painting which was a fiver. The house is stunning and filled with treasures and art and decorated beautifully, very impressive. Its absolutely lovely here, you must visit!

Amazing place to visit on a day trip. Got the coach up from parking spaces as brought new puppy along with us. Walked around Christmas market stalls and ate our lunch. Great day out. Would definitely recommend!!

Fantastic place. The house is a must. A display of the wealth of the Rothchilds family but if you look beyond the opulence there is some fascinating exhibits. You will need up to 2 hours for the house. The gardens are lovely and very manageable but with some hilly parts. Book the house in advance and if your budget can stretch to it use the premium parking adjacent to the house. Worth the National Trust membership.

My kids loved visiting this place, it starts with a bus ride so it is a winner from the start. Has a lovely rose garden, and an aviary also has a huge playground with a big slide. The house is very interesting too with beautiful chandeliers.

Fun for all of the family, or those seeking adventure! Waddesdon Manor plays host to a plethora of sights, from adventure playgrounds; to aviaries filled with exotic birds. This family friendly National Trust location has parking on site, with a shuttle bus service up to the Manor for just £2.50 per person or the option to trek it yourself at your own leisure. The Manor doors are open to the public, offering a glimpse into its past with iconic paintings, tapestries and furniture. A National Trust to tick off for sure with accessibility for all! AT.

I love everything about this location, the gardens lovely with the fountain and flowers, the house is absolutely lovely with all the old fashioned stuff/rooms, and the current art exhibition that is on at the gallery! I couldn't miss that! Absolutely amazing 🥰

Lovely day out. The building is beautiful inside and out. The gardens are stunning, and it was lovely to see the aviary with the different birds. Food was reasonably priced. (Sandwich was £4.95) There is a restaurant and two outside cafes. One by the shop and the other at the stables. Lots of wasps around! It's definitely worth a visit. The building itself is not that old, but the collections inside have some interesting stories.

wonderful place. excellently organized. There is a large parking lot which is far from the house - but there is a private bus transport - which is absolutely available to go faster. All the staff are absolutely friendly. The ticket price is affordable and worth it. An unforgettable experience, especially if you are lucky enough to have good weather to enjoy the gardens and park. Have a picnic and a walk. There is a cafe with sandwiches and hot and cold drinks. Normal for such a place prices. I recommend Absolutely. I would visit again in better weather. only I didn't see an EV charger. It would be nice to have one./but I haven't asked the staff/.

Went for the Christmas light display and to see the house decorated for Christmas. Tickets bought in advance. It was absolutely beautiful, lovely walk around the grounds, Christmas market on site, spent about 4-5 hours here. When booking I paid £30 for Premium parking, I thought I had to pay to be able to park but there is actually a huge free car park onsite, which we parked in. Had to then go back down to move the car. No signs to tell us this, only found out when our tickets were scanned. I wouldn't have paid the parking but when booking it looked like I had to. Overall a beautiful place, loved our day there.

Stunning property inside and out. Went for the Christmas illuminate and craft fayre was a good selection of stalls. Inside was decorated beautifully with a children's book theme but the star of the show was after dark when the property is lit up.

This amazing neo-renaissance manor was donated to the National Trust by the Rothschild family and is an incredible example of French architecture literally from France. Art lovers will love what is in store inside and, as with all National Trust properties, the knowledgeable stewards are always keen to keep you informed. There are two cafés and one restaurant on the estate as well as a kids' playground. Parking is plentiful and you have a choice of a 15 minute walk (with quite a climb on the way up) or if that is too much for you, regular shuttle buses are provided for a small fee. Highly recommended. I will be visiting again!

An amazing Manor House, beautifully built with fine detail on the outside,not unlike a German Fairy Palace, telling a fantastic story of its history and People. What a fantastic, unique experience.

It's very remote, but so incredibly pretty. It almost seems like something out of France. It is possible to get here by bus, but I wouldn't recommend it as the journey is far from easy. If you are a K3G fan, this is really a must-visit place. I would advise in the summer when the manor is fully open. It's got a really good shop, too, worth checking out the wines. Keep an eye out in Waddesdon town/village as well, it's got amazing architecture.

Beautiful house and gardens owned by the Rothschild family, ergo all cafes and the shop are extortionately priced as it seems the Rothschild family don’t quite have enough money already. That being said, still worth the visit and to learn the history of the place.

Attended for the second year in a row for the Christmas event and we weren’t disappointed. The house looked incredible inside, such attention to detail and the volunteers were so friendly and helpful. The light trail was lovely as ever (and our 2yo loved it too!) and the Christmas markets were great. The only slight issue is getting the bus back from the stables was almost impossible as it was always full from the Manor but it wasn’t a problem as we just walked back to the car park (15min walk downhill) - the staff were really reassuring that we would get on a bus though but we had to get back.

Waddesdon Manor is stunning and includes an extensive collection of artifacts throughout its Victorian rooms. I particularly enjoyed the smoking room with its leather ceiling, the morning room with beautiful paintings and desks and the impressive dining room. The house also includes an amazing collection of artwork including pieces from Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, providing informative insights throughout my visit. The information booklet was also comprehensive and worth the price. I used the Waddesdon Manor app during my visit, but it definitely needs some improvement and the WiFi wasn't very good on the day. The pause, play and rewind buttons didn't work well, and the overall design could be simplified. Additionally, it would be good to get more information about individual artifacts directly on the app. Beyond the house, the grounds included highlights like the bird collection, where I could actually see the birds, and the beautiful parterre. However, I felt the Tay Bridge was over emphasised on the map and I was disappointed not to access the "wedding cake" without paying more. The bus system was excellent (definitely worth buying at entry) as it offered a frequent service. As for food, the sausage roll and beef pastrami roll were delicious. I do wish there was a separate ice cream queue to reduce the wait time for those only wanting food and drink. Overall, Waddesdon Manor was enjoyable and good value for money. If you're a fan of history, art, and beautiful architecture, it's well worth a visit.

Took my boy sledding the other day and he loved it. It is like disappearing into another world, a pretty cold one, but great fun. A bit more comfort in the seated area would be great. More activities for the kids, like an arcade or a play area beyond the hamster-sized soft play would be great. They definitely have the space! Best to shop around to get kitted out, as it can get pricey!

I always love this place - great value and is always a fun time! Ski and boot rental is always efficient, and the staff are always ready to help. Only one small issue was that the lift kept stopping from all the beginners, which caused a long queue, however it was to be expected. Halfway through they opened up the second lift, which resolved the problem brilliantly and had a great last hour! I really recommend it for beginners or people who need to practice before hitting the slopes! Thanks for a great day out :)

Excellent support and communication throughout lessons with the friendly trainers. Most recently, instructor Matt who helped our son attain a new level up. Matt was so patient, calm and attentive during lesson. It was wonderful to see by the end of the session how far our son had progressed. As a parent that’s always really lovely to see. Shout out also to Josh for keeping an eye out for our boy 😊 he’s mentioned you a few times 😊 

We drive over an hour for these lessons so it’s satisfying to feel that the time, effort and cost is justified! Thnx guys for consistently adding to our positive experiences at MK Snozone

Real snow and decet size, you can have fun there, and it's also a great place for kids to learn. They have classes for children at different levels, book online. The only issue with classes is you should book in advance, you may have to wait a few weeks for a particular class. The waiting area is big and there is a cafe. You can also rent all the gear on the spot.

Great place! Our first time skiing ⛷️ and it was great, we booked a private ski tour for beginners and can't recommend it enough, well worth the drive down from London, we will be returning to do the other levels! Thank you to our instructor, Tom, for making our experience fantastic!

We really enjoyed our visit to snozone, we went on a weekend and it wasn’t too busy. The slope was wide and spacious so you have lots of room if you’re learning or perfecting your technique. The snow felt quite sticky under the ski’s and there were a few random icy patches on the slope which can’t always be avoided but a little extra caution needed to be taken for beginners.

Good learner experience for my 11 year old. Snowboarding levels 1-4 being taught by instructor Archie. It’s a shame the teaching earlier is almost out of view for parents that attend to watch from the cafe. Facilities are great, equipment in good condition and friendly staff. I’d of preferred if the groups were maybe 4 or 5 people instead of 6 for more time to practice but it is what it is. We shall return for sure 🏂

Although it is not very crowded, it is very good that there is a real snow, the presence of such a place is very successful, the washbasin and dressing rooms were very clean and hygienic. The only problem was a young girl named Stephany if I remember the name of the staff. they were interested, other than that, everything was very good and successful, I can say that the price is average, but it would be nice if there was a discount😍

We took our Geand daughter here for her Birthday to do sledging. We all loved it. It was the first time she had been, but we had been a few times in the past. You get 45 minutes sledging time. It's good fun. Take a spare set of clothes though, or waterproofs.

Took the boys for a two hour session on the Snow and they had a great time! Lots of space to improve their skiing. Special shout out to Tony on the button lift, what a helpful, friendly chap- he made our day. Boys perfected the button lift so quickly thanks to his patience and help. Thanks Tony .

I did a level 1 & 2 lesson which lasted 3 hours. The instructor was very knowledgeable and encouraging. As the lesson went on he differentiated the class so that everyone was improving on what they had achieved so far. I was happily surprised at how much I developed in the time and came away with a card listing all the skills I had gained and what lesson level to try next to move forward. All equipment was included in the price. I just needed to wear long trousers and sleeves (I wore a thin layer plus waterproof trousers and jacket so as not to get too hot when exercising).

We have had 3 family lessons at Snozone Milton Keynes now and every instructor we have had has been great!! Super patient with both children (who are much better than me 🤪) and engaging. We all really enjoyed it and feel much more confident on the snow.

Very good a great place to get you started if you want to learn this is the place to go to. They were very accommodating we had to move our session and as it was not busy they did change it. Remember to bring gloves!!! Otherwise you have to buy some there. There is plenty of car park as the place is inside a shopping centre.

Brilliant large establishment for all the snow experience. Suitable for kids to adults with any experience in skiing and snow boarding. Ample parking. Very friendly staff. You get boots,helmets and gloves if you don't have your own. Great safe place to bring kids over 4 years +.

Well managed slope to learn skiing in the UK. The rental counter and restaurant services are nice but quite slow, it took half an hour for my sandwich. Better go early enough to get the equipment, especially if you wanna grab something to eat there as well

Thought I'd try the Milton Keynes slope after visiting the Snow Dome at Tamworth many times, the size of the slopes is larger, longer and good to have button lifts over a escalator. I did feel the snow didn't quite flow as well here and mainly felt more sticky especially the lower third down you went. Possibly the chemicals used or down to the hired ski's, although saying that a friend was on his own board and made the same comment of how 'sticky' it felt.

Not skied in 27 years so needed to test muscle memory Slope is obviously not huge, and the bottom definitely flattens out a lot. Snow is a little sticky, But the skiing is worth it. Had an exceptional time skied without being rushed for 4 hours. Highly recommend it if you prepping to go away or (as my daughter did) taking lessons. She did the 8 hour plough to parallel course and I was really impressed. Instructor gradually built the technique explaining fully. End result my daughter was skiing really well ready for our ski trip Food is a little meh in the cafe. But everyone’s we met was super helpful and nice Price wise think it was great value. My session was £45 all in (with skis, boots and helmet). Daughter was £200 and included all equipment, lunch and instruction! Bargain !

We came for our first snowboarding lesson and had a fantastic time! Tony, our instructor, was brilliant! Very knowledgeable and encouraging. Excellent value, great facilities and conditions, can’t wait to go back for our second lesson which we booked straight away!

This family destination might seem fun and interesting at first, but seems that no investments were made through the years to keep it to a high standard, lots of statues are chipped and dirty, they should look seriously into improving their maintenance of the entire resort to bring it back to life. There are many activities for older children, but for my 4 years old daughter wasn't that much to do, therefore spend only 2 hours including our lunch. Food court should be improved as well. Don't think we will be back again, sorry, not worth the money. There are better options available somewhere else at other parks Attached are the best pictures we took on our visit

Value for money, great for kids around 2-12. Queues were no to bad on a summer holiday weekend. Park itself is not huge, all rides very close together. Food court and slushies etc available. Issue is cleanliness around rides/park, it really could do with a little TLC. It is not nice when waiting in queue and you have cobwebs touching your face. The park could do with a revamp, looks a bit outdated. Nevertheless the kids enjoyed it, and it’s great value for money.

Very nice experience for the whole family. Will come again in the future. Good selection of rides for kids above 90 cm tall. It was worth the one hour drive. Managed to get parking as well (nearly full the car park). Used blue light discount. Good vibes.

Visited Gulliver's Land in Milton Keynes. It caters towards younger kids so the rides are not too extreme. The place felt dated and looked like it needed a refurbishment in lots of areas. The toilets were very dirty and needed to be cleaned more often. There was only one dryer working in the toilets. On the plus side, the queues were not that long for the rides and they offer concessionary tickets which allow queue jumping. Overall, I would say there are better theme parks.

We had a brilliant time here, was our first time visiting and we were not disappointed! I have a 2,7,9 and 13 year old and they all had so much fun!! So much to choose from, plenty of rides for everyone, we took a picnic so can't comment on the food, but the kids wanted to go in the sweet shop at the end of the day and well.. took a life time and £30 later to get them out haha! Also plenty of ice cream and much needed coffee stalls! Staff very friendly and helpful, plenty of toilets around. I very much recommend to all families!

Lovely place to take kids aged 4-15 great day out filled with plenty activities for all ages. Queues can be quite long I'd advise book at a quiet time to get the most out of your day. Staff are friendly and helpful place is clean and great atmosphere. Will definitely revisit.

Alittle nervous after reading negative reviews. But I had such a great day!! Prices much cheaper than merlin theme parks , not overly fancy but clean and just what you need for a nice day out. Smallish theme park, all rides next ti each other which is great don't have to walk around too much to get to the next ride, it was a Saturday in summer holidays and not much ques apart from the log flume. Nice grass areas and benches to have lunch, few soft plays dotted around. And most importantly FREE PARKING!! My daughter went on a total of 10 rides.

If you want to waste your whole day queueing then this is the place to go to. Thank god we paid very little due to the discounts we got otherwise I would have walked out and asked for refund honestly takes 30min to 1h of queueing per ride we just gave up in the end. The 2 stars above are purely because on the day we went they decided to extend opening time by 1h which gave us the chance to go on few more rides otherwise 1 star is too much for this place nonetheless I do not recommend this place Of course people are still going to come here specially the British because they love paying money to queue but for me I’m OUT PERMANENTLY. Worst thing is a live walking distance from it so every time I go past it I’ll think about the 5h of my life I wasted queueing here which I’ll never get back and that hurts more than the money I spend. ADIOS

Convenient to visit as I live only 10 miles away,place looks like it could do with a lick of paint and a bit of a spruce up but that should have been done over the winter months when they were closed.Disappointed with digger land as most of the diggers and cranes were not in moveable working order and crazy golf also. Good time of the year to visit as still pretty quiet so hardly any queues and when there was it would be 5 minutes at the most.The only thing I brought was a cup of tea inside the park £2.75! Hot dogs £6.95(way too expensive) slush puppies £2.50. Plenty of seating and picnic tables and restaurants.

We visited here and stayed for the night in a pirate cabin. As we booked for the night we got entry to the park for two days. Price was around £350 for five of us. The cabin was clean and had a microwave and fridge but no television. Wifi was supposed to reach the area we stayed in but it never did, despite best efforts. The park is probably (in our view) best suited to younger children. Our 11 year old and 14 year old didn't have much to go on yet the four year old had stacks to choose from. So definitely would recommend for a younger family. The lines for food in the park went on for about an hour so either get food earlier than you normally would or bring your own! Staff all seemed very friendly. I would take the time to return with my youngest.

Good old fashion fun for kids. But be warned bring a packed lunch the food is not nice. The camp site is great and the food is not bad . Very clean and comfortable lodges.

This is our second stay here and my god ! It was amazing they have entertainment for the children my two boys loved it, the restaurant on site the food isn't great BUT the staff are wonderful and accommodating they was super friendly with my two boys who love to chat to people!! There was a lovely lady doing the disco who again had the patience of a saint ! I had a issue with the room I was given ( no issue of the resort I booked a room that was to small) without a blink of an eye the resolved it in less than 60 seconds ! The boys can't wait to return and neither can I!!! Highly recommend!

We took our son for his 2nd birthday and his siblings aged 13 and friend aged 10, they all had a fantastic day. All of them had lots of fun but I would say that it is best suited to children 3-11 the most. They did all have a great time though.

We did an overnight stay at Lodge. Lodge: Loved the surroundings, the atmosphere, the cabin. Went with a friend and his family so thought when booking we'd be side by side but this wasn't the case. However, we were three cabins away so wasn't too bad. Our main issue was the toilet/shower which we had to get the maintenance man in. We felt disgusted using the toilet/shower after seeing the shower drain overflow with previous mess (dirt, hair) but soldiered on as it was only for a night. The cabin itself was nice and comfortable with TV, fridge, microwave, kettle and spacious fir 6 of us. Note, it was advertised as having space for 6 using fold out sofa which we didn't use due to the hassle. Gullivers Land Theme Park: Having a 12 yr old autistic child, a 13 yr old and 5 yr old, loved it. Plenty of rides and things for kids to do. It wasn't overcrowded and the SEN provision was amazing. Staff were engaging and supportive with those with SEN/Disability access passes. Food wasn't great and quite expensive but you expect this. Dinosaur Land: Kids loved it. They were intrigued with the Dinosaurs, enjoyed the few rides there, loved the reptile section (lizards, snakes, tarantula's), the climbing wall and also - the cuddle corner where they held the rabbits and also saw the sheep, cows, lama, pony's etc. Overall - very enjoyable experiance and would defo recommend.

Visited for my daughter's 6th birthday, she really enjoyed the rides, as most are suitable for little ones. Staff are very friendly and all wished her a happy birthday when they saw her birthday girl badge. A really nice day out for the family. Despite being during school holidays, queues were never too long which is a plus.

Had a nice weekend with the family. RIdes are not soo busy maximum wait was around 10 minutes , there were nice variety of rides and all were functional. The Caffè was nice and had good selection of food and the price was reasonable. It took around 5 hours to complete the most of the rides good place to spend the weekend can recommend

We booked early on line for the half term week and took our grandchildren, aged 5 and 3 years. They absolutely adored the experience and so did we! Would definitely go again.

It’s an absolute gem for families with young children. We had an unforgettable visit filled with excitement and laughter. The park offers a wide variety of rides and activities that are perfect for kids, making it a delightful and reasonably priced day out. Spending the night in one of their themed cabins was a great choice for our trip, it added an extra layer of fun to our adventure. The entertainment provided was top-notch, and we were thoroughly entertained throughout our stay. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Gulliver's Land Theme Park exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to visit again.

The Land of Lights was amazing. It is so clever, a must for all the family to see this Christmas. We all loved it ❤️

The kids really enjoyed it, there was hot food and drinks and the staff were very helpful.

I am a regular visitor of this wonderful theatre. It’s a good size and fairly modern. It has a bar inside and the theatre generally has a great location in the theatre district of Milton Keynes, perfect for pre-show dinner or drinks.

I've been to this theatre a couple of times for Cluedo (pic) and Dream girls to name a couple of shows! Can't say I've had a bad seat at the theatre in any visit really, having sat in both the Stalls (front) and the Circle (front and back). Each seat I've had, has had a pretty decent if not perfect view of the stage and plenty of leg room each time! The theatre is massive, so I think, unless you're in the rafters, you can't really find a terrible seat. There is, however, one fairly big issue with the theatre!! When it comes to the interval, it just feels like there aren't enough staff working on the bars. Every time I've been, the queues have been pretty large at every bar. While the staff are working tirelessly to get through all the customers, it still feels incredibly slow, to the point I'm sure some people miss the start of Act 2?! While there are pre-interval orders and order to your seat options available, I still feel more staff would help.

Went to see Greatest Days, really enjoyed the show very uplifting, with good Take That music. Had good seats with a great view. We ordered two glasses of wine 175ml and 2 ice creams for the interval and was shocked by the price £28.50!!!! The two glasses of wine cost £19 which I think is very overpriced and they were served in a water glass. One of the ice creams was missing from our order and I had to go to the bar area and find out what had happened to it! Would give the show 5 stars and the cost of drinks and ice cream 1 star.

I visited last week with my elderly grandparents, both 87 and my mum. One of my grandparents are in a wheelchair so had booked a wheelchair ticket and carer and myself and mum were sat in front. We got to the seats with plenty of time but as the carer ticket was on the end of an aisle my grandad had to keep standing up to let people past. As he isn’t as mobile now too and the carer of my grandmas ticket this wasn’t ideal for him to keep getting up as not enough room for them to pass. The show finished and after getting ourselves ready for our journey home we were sat at the front of the building inside. My mum didn’t manage to get a disabled parking space outside so was about to leave to get the car and park at the front so that my grandparents didn’t have to walk far. The security then asked for us to leave the building. My mum then explained she will be about 5 minutes just to get the car and bring out the front so not as far in wheelchair and for my grandad to walk. He then said I understand but you need to leave. We were appalled by the lack of empathy from him to my grandparents to make them wait outside in the cold. There were still people in the bar but he didn’t have the decency to let them wait inside for a matter of 5 minutes. Not acceptable.

Lovely theatre. It did get very hot in there once everyone arrived. The view from circle was good. Parked in the multistorey across the road and it wasn't too expensive. Good atmosphere.

Attended the first pantomime of the year and what a fantastic show. It was extremely funny start to finish. The theatre is well run with COVID protocols in place. I would give it a 5 star rating but the price of the refreshments and snacks are ridiculous. Plus I think its unnecessary to get people to come in so early. All that aside, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back.

Both myself and my partner went and watched The Play That Goes Wrong OMG it was fantastic non stop laughing from start to end. The location of the theatre is easy to find inside the building its clean and tidy, staff were friendly and helpful. If I had to have a moan it's the parking it would be lovely if they opened the car parking again to make access easy

It was our first time at this Theatre but will definitely be back. Staff were very helpful and quick at getting you in. Lots of little bar areas to get drinks and you can pre order and get them delivered to you in your seats. We parked in the multi storey which is very easy and a 2 minute walk to the Theatre and if you get there early and want to eat then there's a really good choice of places to dine.

Fantastic Theatre, spacious seating so it's comfortable to sit and watch the show. Was lovely and clean.

Watched Stuart Lee, excellent performance by the legend. The seats are limited view as if you were watching a full show you may miss the top corner of the set design (didn't matter for Mr Lee). Quick entry, bag search and ticket scan. Ushers quick at directing you to your seats. Seats comfortable enough. Bar service as quick as you would expect in a busy theatre. No complaints.

Just watched Cinderella at MK theatre and it was amazing 🤩 The whole cast were superb especially Brian Conley very very funny with lots of adult humour!! The effects and music were as good as you would see anywhere. Thank you and well done 👏

A large capacity Theatre with over 2000 seats. Very comfortable and excellent views. Great sound and production highly recommended. Parking maybe difficult to find so maybe take a taxi.

Looks fabulous from the outside and plenty of room in the foyer. However we paid £150 each for seats in row d and were very disappointed. So little room to manoeuvre into seats. Although I am quite slim found it really hard to reach my seat. Don't go if you are slightly overweight! Also, the majority of people had coats on as the theatre very cold. Mentioned this at half time. The show, however, was brilliant. Strongly suggest if you are attending theatre to find another as have been to many and this was the worst one ever!

It's a nice venue. Thought the security asking to search bags was totally pointless from the looks of it. The bar area is too small for this size of event. Seating was not great. Especially when you have a head in the way. I swear I had the tallest person in MK sat in front of me. Missed the first half and moved to watch the second half. I prefer the pitch seating at Derngate in Northampton.

Well done Brian Conley, he really knows how to put on a show. Some amazing and well rehearsed “ad libs” had the audience in stitches, amazing fun for all ages and will definitely be recommending to anyone wanting a 2 hours feel good lift for 2024! (Video taken with permission in the last 3 minutes….)

We went on a bus trip and were in the Stalls for I Should Be So Lucky - The Musical. Pleasant view but a little cramped. This is the only theatre which I haven't had to queue for the toilet at interval. I would have given it 5 stars but had to pay £7.60 for 2 bottles of Sprite which I thought was ridiculous because it was HOT in there!!

I love MK Theatre, it’s a good size and easy parking. Bar area is very busy, and I believe only has one bar that sells hot drinks. Watched Aussie Floyd which was great, however, had two tall blokes arrive late and sit in front of us in seats that were not theirs, one wearing a hat! They did nothing but put their heads together talking throughout the show, blocking my view of the stage. What’s the point of paying for a ticket and then talking the whole time, spoiling the show for others. A very strong smell of weed around us after the intermission! 🤔

Considering the ticket price personally I felt it’s not value for money. Having said that, it’s well maintained the details are meticulously crafted on all the miniatures. It’s truly a model small village which typically any small town would look like. My favourite was the train running round the circuits every where, they were successful in creating magic around the trains and it even draws adults attracted to it. I would suggest if you have kids around 8-12 years they would enjoy this experience, otherwise you give a pass

Charming Model Village with Some Considerations During my visit to Bekonscot Model Village & Railway, I experienced a unique and charming attraction. While the place itself is lovely and draws a crowd, I have mixed feelings about recommending it due to a few considerations. One aspect that gave me pause was the entry ticket price, which I found to be on the higher side. Considering the overall experience and the time spent exploring the village, I felt that the value for money was not as high as expected. Another point to note is the limited food options available nearby, particularly on weekends. If you plan to visit, it's essential to be aware of this and consider bringing snacks or finding alternative dining options in advance. Despite these considerations, I want to express appreciation for the historical and creative effort that went into bringing Bekonscot Model Village & Railway to life. The level of detail and craftsmanship in the miniature structures and railways is commendable. It's evident that a lot of care and dedication went into creating this unique attraction. If you have a particular interest in history, model villages, or railways, you may find Bekonscot Model Village & Railway to be an enjoyable experience.

Great day out. Every generation should visit at least twice in their lives. Once as a child, and again taking their own children to this magical world of times past. Nice cafe on site as well.

Cute place to visit, especially with kids. The ride in the small train at the beginning of the park is fun. It has a soft play area conveniently close to where ice cream is sold towards the end of the park. Worth a visit.

Awesome day out for babies/kids - we took our under 1 year old. Very educational and creative with a large variety of buildings/shops (hospital,bank,marks and Spencer, shoes shop, Mercedes Benz & many more!). Lots of colours and different sounds so a great sensory experience overall (bells from the church, mini trains running, boats, mini fairground ride, 1930s circus to name a few!). Highly recommend! It’s the type of place you can keep on visiting as you will always learn something new each time, and of course as your child grows you can ask them to share with you what they can see & hear. Large space outdoors for eating. Cafe was great had plant-based milk so catered for vegans.

What a lovely day out. Took my 2 sons aged 2 & 5. Immaculately kept. Great for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Clean toilets and free parking. Nice gift shop too. The train ride was fantastic and we went on twice. The only negative was how very very expensive the cafe was and we decided to not eat there. This place exceeded my expectations. Would return again.

We visited in early November 2023, my wife and I and our 7yr old son absolutely loved it! So much to see, and the train ride is always fun for kids and adults alike. Highly recommend visiting, we spent around 2hrs and saw everything, some things twice.

It's a great place for families, with a playground cafe and plenty to see. The entrance price is reasonable. I found that some of the sections were a little tired with damaged figures and structures. This said, there is easy access around the village and places to sit and a viewing point.

A worth to visit place for everyone. Not a big place so you can finish looking around and enjoy this place within half an hour to an hour . The best part is the railway which remains running throughout the day. Kids love it. All the models look real and alive. Very few staffs but all friendly and helpful. They have a little children play area and really good space to take rest and enjoy some food and icecream(during summer), you can take your own food too.

Fascinating model village and railway. The attention to detail is second round none. Loved the humorous shop names and signs - and also the little humorous things to find and see. Go round a couple of times as you'll see something new each time. Parking at the church across the road is free - but it will get full at busy times. The café was not that great - and priced high. £2.80 for a tea-bag, paper cup, sachet of UHT milk and some hot water!!

You gotta love a model village!!... really nice little attraction tucked away in a little village of its own. Some of the models were a little run down, hence the 4 stars not 5, but absolutely worth a visit.

Well kept and interesting collection of model villages set in the 1930s. It has a lot of models of people inside and out of the buildings involved in many different activities, which is great fun to explore. There are activity sheets for children to encourage them (and the parents) to search for things. The train ride was fun too.

Bekonscot Model Village & Railway isn't just a destination for kids—it's a haven for the young at heart, an oasis of charm and nostalgia that leaves a lasting impression. With every step I took, I felt as though I was walking through a dream, and even as I left, I carried a piece of that enchantment with me, eager to revisit the miniature world that had captured my imagination. As I walked through the gates of Bekonscot Model Village & Railway, I felt a sense of anticipation and excitement bubbling within me. The allure of stepping into a miniature world was irresistible, and little did I know that this visit would weave memories that would stay with me for a long time.

The highlight, undoubtedly, was the intricate railway network that meandered through the village. As I stood by the tracks, I watched in amazement as the miniature trains chugged along, traversing bridges, tunnels, and scenic landscapes. It was as if I had shrunk down to their size, embarking on a journey through a world of enchantment. The level of craftsmanship evident in every element was a testament to the dedication and passion of the creators. I found myself lost in the charm of it all, clicking pictures and discovering hidden gems around every bend. The meticulous detailing extended even to the smallest signs, shop fronts, and vehicles, which added authenticity to the experience. Highly recommended….!!! Ticket: 14£ PP Steam train: 1.5£PP Refreshment: Light refreshment cafe is available at the sight Parking: The nearest parking is Warwick road car park (Plesae, check my review on that) Toilets: Yes available at the sight

Really worth a visit, we with our sons (2 and 9 yo) enjoyed walking in this beautiful place. It exceeded our expectations, we thought it was small but it was right how it should be, you can easily spend 2-2.5 hours with a short snack break (they have a small tea house inside).

Wonderful place to visit with small children. All the children here were so happy and interested. I’d say up to age 9 would find lots to like. There are really special details, including moving trains, cable cars, a coal mine, and even some of the people move. There are scenes inside shops, houses and churches. We stayed for 2 hours. There is free parking in the church car park opposite. I would recommend bringing picnic or packed lunches as cafe food certainly over-priced. But traditional ice-creams available too for treats.

Feel like a giant amongst these exceptional models. A cafe is also onsite should you fancy something to eat. Carpark is located to the side of the entrance. Allow a maximum of 2 hours.

A superb model village with lots of intricate details and eccentricities! A great day out for children and adults alike. Located close to the railway station and car parks a short distance away. There’s ample facilities on site and it’s the sort of place you can visit ten times over and still probably spot something you hadn’t seen before!

THIS place is OK could be abit more exciting .You only need around an hour and a half here and have to pay for a small train ride ,which I feel should be included in price.Please allow cash as well as children in gift shop want to spend their pocket money or penny's. A little girl had her money ready to pay and was all excited to pay with her own money and couldn't which is sad.Her mum paid on her card ,which takes the joy out of the child's visit.

This place is AMAZING for any age. Took 20 month old granddaughter yesterday we were there for 5 hours and she was never bored. Neither were we 🤣. Fantastic place to make memories. My husband 1st went over 50 years ago and still remembers it. A magical special place ❤️
