    Overpriced food, less than 50% of attractions in full working order, I'm only giving two stars as they have a good range of outdoor climbing frames and play areas they are fab. But everything else isn't up to scratch. The kids where gutted they couldn't go on the rides due to them being broke or braking throughout the day. £8 burger + chips. £2.50 for any ice cream which I think is over priced for the standard of the food you receive and the park. If it was up to scratch I would be more than to pay higher prices as this is what you expect but not for what we got today !

    Very dated , poorly maintained ' theme park'. Extremely overpriced for what they offer. At £17.99 a head with no children concessions , the public deserve much better! The place badly needs a refurb and some effective management!!!! The staff are rude, the food is appalling . The choice seems to be very poor quality burgers or extortionately priced pizza and pasta ( at £10 a head !!!! ). Not convinced that there is robust health and safety policies here. No leaflet maps were available and therefore no advice on nearest first aid points etc. Considering the rides and place look so neglected - it all looks like a tragedy waiting to happen . !

    We visited a couple of weeks ago with children aged 3 & 7. My boys love it and went on lots of rides. Queuing times weren't too bad was just a bit cold but that cant be helped. Ive given it 4 stars from the fun we had and how much the children enjoyed it. I would give it less if going on appearence, some if the attractions are looking tired and do need updating. Didnt eat there, never do, always take own food as don't like what they offer.

    Drayton Manor Park & Zoo is great for both toddlers & older children. The food is quite expensive but there are lots of benches & places to eat your own picnic which I would suggest is better especially if going with several children. There are plenty of facilities for baby changing & feeding, & lots of toilets. There is a lovely play park with soft flooring which the children loved. Thomas Land was a big hit & most could have adults on along with the younger children. The zoo was very enjoyable, & easy to view the animals. I would recommend Drayton Manor for a great day out for families.

    Well, what a fantastic day out. This is totally aimed at children and it's a good price too. We went on nearly all of the rides and they weren't even too much for my daughter who isn't fully keen. The Staff are really nice and interact with the Children. The kids love exploring the dinosaurs. One thing about here is it is relatively close together so there isn't too much walking about and things are easy to find, especially not lots of hills like other theme parks tend to have. I would say that it is suited for children age 3-10. After 10 I think you may be pushing it to entertain them! Under 3, there are rides but not as many.

    Ideal for my children's ages (8 & 3). Lots of rides and attractions to keep us busy all day, with reasonable queuing times. Lots of places to eat in, and plenty of areas for picnics too. Highly recommended for families and children, definitely plan to visit again.

    I visited today (6/4/15). I have visited many times and always had a fantastic time. However that was not the case today. Firstly When we arrived i found the ticket prices had increased so presumed some new element might be there. It was the easter hunt and all i received was my receipt from a member of staff who was uninterested in being there. Despite this i got a park map and easter hunt sheet from the manager. Secondly i have two children just under 120 cm. When i tried to go on the tree top swings i was told they both could not go on as it was 1 adult per child to sit behind due to health and safety. I questioned the stern faced team member and said how is that health and safety when if the swing snapped the chair behind cant even reach to do anything. I was rudely told thats the rules so my little boy had to wait whilst i took one on my children on. When the ride finished my other little boy was at the front of the queue and the member of staff told me i had to go out and queue back up and was not allowed to stay whilst he opened the gate to allow people on. I was gobsmacked when other rides during the day had allowed me to do so because the queues were pretty big. Thirdly it was busy but i have been when it has been busier. Despite it being bank holiday with great weather by 12.30 all but 1 ice lolly were unavailable and all whippy ice cream machines were not in use. By 4pm (the park closes at 5.30) all but the front entrance shops were closed! Fourly, the height bars are all different. The bi planes measured my boys as 120cm so they could ride on their own, whereas other rides my boys were just under or majorly under even on baby rides that did not require an adult. When questioned i was told quite rudely by the manager this is impossible they are all the same its the floor level!! I laughed and said you what as if. It doesnt matter if the stick is put next to my boy the measurements would be accurate. Fifthly the most disappointing aspect of today was the lack of professionalism. This theme park if built for young kids. There is no music when queuing which can make waiting times very boring. However, there was only one member of staff who worked on the pirate ship that showed any enthusiasm for the children. Every member of staff we encountered were grumpy, rude and unapproachable. Staff working in a place that brings joy to children should be friendly, approachable and should not be working there if they cant be arsed to deal with innocent excitement. Finally i decided this is unacceptable. Me and my children love this place normally and with being a single mum i enjoy taking them on a really good value for money day. Unfortunately this was not the case so i approached the manager. He displayed unprofessionalism and would not take my complaints on board. He stated no one has ever complained about things like this before and always receive good reviews about all staff. Dont waste your money

    took my family there on Bank holiday monday for the day it cost in excess of £80 for entrance only to find the place is extremely run down, Nothing worked on the canyon ride Quote from their web site " be warned they will get wet again " cant get wet when the attractions DONT WORK. Sky Tours Observation Tower, NOT WORKING. the dinosaurs were well weathered ( Paint flaking off and Green mould growing on them. another ride ( i forget the name ) had cars that go round a track with guns in the front to shoot red lights inside the attraction. we are a family of 5 and took 3 ars round it and NONE of the guns worked Hence Noe of the features in the attraction worked. We ere especially taken aback by the Guy running the Dino Safari Tours he should never be allowed to deal with the public, he was rude and arrogant. My youngest is 6 and she said was bored most of the attractions because they didnt work. it was not worth the money and we will never return to any of the gulliver parks again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY go somewhere else instead. Visited May 2014

    My review on Gulliver world Warrington is, it's a brilliant adventure park for the kids, there's lot of rides for the younger and older kids even for the adults, there's places to eat and a picnic area, I have been at least 10 times with my family in the last 5 years, we love it and keep going back 2 -3 Times a year.

    We visited this theme park whilst staying with family in Wigan in july this year and were really impressed, we visited with our two daughter then aged 7 years and 23 months, there was plenty to do and filled the entire day, what was particularly good was that by just about every ride there was a park/play area for the little one to enjoy whilst our older child went on some of the rides. there is a good selection of rides and a fun day out for the whole family although probably not much choice for kids aged over 14 years but for us it was fab!

    We took our daughters here in the summer aged 2 and 5 , my 5 year old loved it had a great time going on the rides and had her face painted sadly there was not much at all for my 2 year old to do after walking round the park we found a little playcentre inside it was really good for her and because of this we would go back again as this was our 2nd visit the playcentre just needs to be advertised alot more in all it was a great day the food was a little overpriced but it was ok

    It's not very accessible for disabled kids. There are plenty of steps, no places to leave wheelchairs safely when on the rides, and I don't think they allow queue jumping for disabled kids who struggle to wait, no carer discounts (but fair enough kids couldn't go on their own if they didn't need a carer) The disabled toilets were gross (fortunately we didn't need to but you would have to change bigger children on the floor, which was wet and smelly) really not good - like it is stuck in 1990's!

    It is a bit scruffy and could do with a good clean! If you go in the summer watch out for the wasps, there are swarms of them :( but apart from that, it is actually pretty good, for little ones who don't have a concept of 'naff' yet :) I took a couple of 5 year old little boys who loved it. Plenty of rides, and the side attractions are good - they especially likes digging for fossils. The food and drinks are fairly cheap, but not many souvenirs etc - though that may not be a bad thing!

    We visited a few weeks ago when most children were back in school but our eldest was still on half term. It cost £59 for 4 of us to get in as we had to pay for our 22 month old as she is over the height restriction for free entry. What a rip-off. She was far too young to go on a lot of the rides even though she was tall enough. A lot of attractions were closed including the only decent-looking place to eat there. After a tour of various eateries there, we ended up with very low quality burgers and chips (there is a healthy option of fruit or veg dippers). I find it really unfair that we had to pay full price on a quiet day when a lot of attractions were being serviced and as for paying full price for a tall baby - what a con. Never again will we visit Gullivers.

    Went here with a large childrens holiday group this year and we all had a ball. There are loads of rides for the kids with a few good ones for the adults too. We did have food whilst there but I would be inclined to take a packed lunch next time as it can work out quite expensive.

    Went today with my 6 an 4 year old boystrous boys and they had a great time. For £45 for the three of us we went on loads of rides even some new ones were there. There was only one that my 4 year old wasn't tall enough to go on which we realised after we'd queued but a very kind lady (a spare grown up on the ride) took my 6 year old on he came off shouting "that was totally awesome!!" so I thank her, although I think he said that after each ride. Well worth the money although have been before and weren't impressed with the food so took our own much more time to PLAY!!

    6 of us went - 4 children aged 2 - 12 and 2 adults. Good value for money with family ticket for 4 people costing us £56. 2 year old got in free as she was under the 90cm height rule. good day out, lots to see and do and the older ones loved the Pirates Cove ride which staff told us is new for this year. still plenty to go on even for the 2 year old. There are lots of picnic areas and lots of shows. Characters friendly with the children - we got sone great photos. Looked at the new Splalshzone but didn't try it, it is seperate to the park so with this weather might be trying it next weekend. All in all a good family fun day out that doesn't cost the earth.

    We had a great time at gullivers world with our little ones and we took an enormous picnic and sat on the grass in the sunshine. We have a great picture of us all scoffing our faces - it's a shame we couldn't post it on here.

    Went to gullivers world warrington for mothers day. My nearly 3 yr old had lots of fun. As we took our 13 week old daughter too we took turns in going on the rides with her but never had to queue. Staff friendly when operating rides and if no one waiting would send ride going again. Took our own picnic with is better than queuing for food. Went to get hot drink and was rather slow. Lots if rides for daughter to enjoy on her own and lots to enjoy with a parent. Added bonus mites went free on mothers day. Will be going agaon as only 30 mins away and daughter didn't want to leave.

    Excellent place!! We went to this year's Halloween special and Firework display, and had a really good time. Reasonable queues, lots of undercover rides, nice food and not expensive. All round good entertainment for all ages!

    I recently took my two children aged 7 and 5 we paid £13.50 each which I found unfair as they were restricted to some of the rides and others had to be accompanied by an adult which meant having to leave 1 child by the side of the ride!!! The rides were dated I remember taking my step daughter 12 years ago and many of the rides are the same. I was really disappointed.

    I have just been to Gulliver's World today and I was really surprised how good it was! My 4 year old loved it and we were there all day. Fantastic value for money and well worth a visit. We were lucky today as it wasn't too busy and the rain held off. The facilities were excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Hoping to go again before the summer ends!

    We have been taking our 5 year old girl and 8 yr old boy to Gullivers since they were toddlers and its great because there is something for all ages. We have had many a happy day there and for about £40 a family you can't go wrong!

    I have just been reading the reviews and I was quite shocked at all the bad comments I have never had a bad experience I have taken all my nieces throughtout the years and I am planning on taking my little one with summer, I noticed some where for people visiting in winter I dont think it is winter activity, but for summer it is fab, my nieces never wanted to leave, I must admit I have never tried food as I always take picincs to places like this as I think it adds to the fun for the children. We always found there was lots for them to do whether little or older. Defoinately a fab first theme park for children not yet ready to go to Camelot or Alton Towers xx

    I have been going to Gulliver's world since i was a young child myself, and now i take my own 2 children and they love it!, Cheap entry fee then you can go on everything all day for free, People have commented on nothing much to do for under 2's (well it is free for them to get in), i took my daughter on her first birthday and there was plenty to do!, We always take our own picnic, as the food on site isn't amazing and its not cheap either, but this is a fantastic theme park for under 12's, and i will definitely be visiting again this summer!!

    i visited today and the park is swarming with wasps. every queue you get in wasps are buzzing around we only spent 2 hours there everyone was fed up with the hundreds of wasps and in the end my son was stung in the eye. when you go to first aid there is nothing but no sympathy and a ice cube in a plastic bag also a ice pop if your lucky my advice dont bother

    i went here on a nursery parent supported trip a few months ago & it is a little shabby round the edges & the entry is CRAZY money (we got it discounted coz of the number going) BUT i have to say my 3 1/2 yr old LOVED it she had the freedom to go on rides by herself as it is ALL aimed at her age & size (have to admit i wish she was 4CM shorter i wouldnt have paid for her :() i would go again even at that price as i dont think any other theme park is so much gered to her age & size - as i only have a 3 & 4 yr old the bigger parks are no use to us :)

    Completely agree with previous comments about paintwork and cost of entry. Although I have to say we went early August on a nice day and it was a great day out. All rides were open and food available all day long. It is quite fun with its themed areas. Most rides are aimed at younger children (over 10s would get quickly bored) and parents can join in most of the time too. The gift shop is not as good as it used to be though and the rental toddler cars are awkward to push around.

    Went here today 31/08/2008 and were appalled. £11 entrace fee for adults and children over 90cm so expensive to get in. The rides are ok and the kids enjoyed them but the overall impression was poor. Peeling paint, dirty toilets and overall it looked shabby. A lot of the eating places were closed or had run out of food (no jacket spuds left at 1.30pm). Ended up queuing for 45mins for burgers which were expensive and really poor quality. My children had chicken nuggets and they were so overcooked they couldn't eat them, they were like rubber. Later on we queued for ice creams and had to try 3 times because each time we tried the service was so unbelievably slow we moved on and tried elsewhere. Again, when we finally got served, they had sold out of most things. It was a cloudy day, not particularly good weather so heaven only knows what it must be like on a nice day.After we finally had an ice cream, we went to a part of the park where there were a lot of trees. There seemed to be a lot of wasps there and before we could retreat, my daughter was stung on the face while sat in her buggy by a wasp intent on getting her lollipop. I tried to complain to someone with a walkie talkie and he was not interested. My advice is to pack a picnic if you go here because the food and service is terrible and wear sunglasses so you can't take in the general shabbyness of the place.

    HI, I AM A REGULAR VISITOR TO GULLIVERS WOLRD. I HAVE 2 BOYS 3YRS AND 4MONTHS. MY 3 YR OLD ABSOLUTLEY LOVES IT AND GOES ON EVERYTHING, THERE IS A SMALL AREA OF SOFT PLAY FOR MY 4 MONTH OLD, WHICH CONSIDERING HE WAS FREE TO GET IN, YOU CANT COMPLAIN. I WOULD RECCOMEND GULLIVERS WORLD TO ANYONE. P.S THE RESTAURANTS ARE REASONABLY PRICED, AND THERE ARE MANY ADVERNTRUE PLAYGROUNDS. IT IS A FULL, FUN FAMILY DAY OUT.

    There is lots for younger children, more so for my 2 and 4 year old than there is for my 10 year old. I ordered my tickets online from their website.

    I took my 8 and 2 year old here along with a couple of other families. WHAT FANTASTIC VALUE FOR MONEY. We left home at 9.30am and didnt arrive back till 7.00pm that evening. We had a fun - filled action packed day........WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. £10.95 to get in and apart from drinks and eats you need not spend another penny !

    I took my son who is 21 months old and there was a lot for him to go on but i had to sit with him on most things. The queues were horrendous and did spoil the day a bit as you cant tell a 21 month old we have to queue up for half hour to get on a ride. He did however have a good time as there is loads of little park bits with climbing frames/slides and ride on toys spread throughout the park. I do have to say the toilets and baby changing facilities were disgusting and i ended up changing my son outside as so filthy. I would reccomend for older children maybe 3 onwards when they learn to wait in a line for rides and i would take your own food as really pricey and no healthy options.There is plenty of space for picnics. Also i would advise getting there early as the carpark fills up quick and cars just end up parking anywhere.

    Went for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Lovely for younger children. Reasonably priced at nearly £11 each. Can spend the full day there. Park itself was clean with plenty of facilities. However there was a poor selection of food and it was not the best. Would be inclined to bring a picnic next time. Staff were friendly. They have a system which allows you to inform them of a childs birthday on the day you visit, and they will get them up on stage at the end of the day to sing happy birthday to them. Worth a trip!

    I would also recommend Gullivers world, once your entry fee is payed, thats it, especially if you take a picnic, full day out, every time we take our kids there, we have a ball, fantastic value for money, there are themed areas, and rides for little ones and older kids, really good mixture of rides and entertainment. :)
