My granddaughter loved this place. Wish there was more shelter from the sun, was so hot that day. Great place for a day out.

Though train rides were limited to one per ticket holder (more rides can be brought) there was enough free activities to keep the children amused for hours

Amazing for our child. Lots to do and see and we got there for 3.30 and it wasn't really enough time to see and do everything.

Fantastic place for young kids, especially those who love trains! Included in the ticket price is a miniature train ride which is nice and long around a lake with some interesting features to see including a tunnel and a suspension bridge. There's a big main play area and a couple if smaller ones to find as you walk around the lake, some Thomas and friends themed bits (which my boy loves) and a fun little maze. We had a lovely day out. We attended while social distancing measures were in place and they were very good.

Have been coming here for a few years with our kids (age 0-7) and it never fails to be charming, such good value for money and just really lovely! From the normal priced tea/coffee and ever improved gardens and play areas it’s so nice it’s kept it charm. Functioned really well with sensible Covid measures in place.

Great day out for the little ones and very reasonable. My son's favourite place to go!

Myself and a friend visited on a steam service (pre-booked tickets) weekday in August.
We had a wonderful trip on the one mile circular line pulled by a steam locomotive. The line travels around a lake and includes a tunnel and suspension bridge. Helpful and enthusiastic staff. Clean and well-maintained steam & diesel locos, carriages and premises. Nature walk. Maze. Children’s play areas. Well-stocked shop. Cafe. Toilets. Large, free car park.

Fantastic place to visit! we hauetadm nena PS for years, andukmtd to visit! everything is reasonably priced and well thought out.
The measures put in place for social distancing are great , and it has never felt over crowded.
The play park is traditionally simple but well looked after and toddler play area separate a great idea! All kids love the little play houses they have a lovely place for kids to be kids

Having read other positive reviews on TA we visited with our two children (7 and 3) in August. We managed to get one of the very few remining booking slots available online. We ended up spending over 4 hours here!
The response to the COVID pandemic is second to none with limited visitor numbers, regular cleaning of all areas (especially regularly pressed buttons!) and superb social distancing from the guard on the train!
The children thoroughly enjoyed their one trip on the train which comes free with your entry . We did pay for an extra trip later in our visit. There are a number of different areas within the main 'play area' which kept both of our children challenged and entertained. They also loved the area with a number of small 'houses' that captured their imagination. They also loved exploring Granny's garden and finding the hidden cave!
Remeber to take a stash of 20 pence pieces to pay for the wonderful miniature railway exhibitions - the children loved these!
** It would be great if they provided £5 worth of 20ps in change bags at the entry desk - would save hasseling the shop! **
We took our own lunch and it was good to find a number of picnic benches available to use and the vast majority of these are under shade - which was well-needed during our visit!
Overall, we had a great time here and the entry cost represents excellent value for money.

Amazing! Well done for making the place feel safe, I constantly saw the staff cleaning and sanitizing all the areas. Anyone looking for a fun family day out it is so worth it!

We stumbled across this place when looking for days out near Norman's Bay. It took around 20 minutes to drive and it was absolutely worth the little journey out to it. What a treasure it is. The train driver and conductor were very friendly and the train ride was excellent and a little more speedy than I expected. We had a great time on it. The playground and maze and walks were all beautifully maintained. We spent half a day here and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for having us.

My friend and myself went with 3 children under 12 . On arrival we were checked in as booking is required at present. On paying I immediately spotted a member of staff cleaning the exit buttons,barriers etc which immediately reassured me as this was the first time we had been for a day out since covid 19.
It was a really enjoyable day, after our picnic the kids used the play equipment and a member of staff regularly cleaned the swings and slides and there was a hand washing station with signs encouraging constant hand washing routines. All the way round there are hand gel dispensers and constant reminders to social dsrtance. When we went on the train all social groups are separated by a 2 metre distance and before you get on the seats of the trains were cleansed. Overall I would highly recommended a day out here and have written this to reassure others who may also be anxious ,like I was in this current climate.

We visited ESMR for the miniature steam railway......I am a steam spotter.....BUT myself and my partner were blown away with what a great visit this is.....great for families, loads for the kids to do, the steam railway is superb and great value. What I was really impressed with were the staff, they make this place a special mention for the lady that met us at the gate to check us off for our booking, this was Thursday the 30th she is a credit to the site along with her son who works in the shop. Whatever beat it all though, you have a miniature HYMEK, one happy spotter 😀😀😀😀😀😀

A very good day with my daughter and grandchildren. Lovely walks around the lakes, with another play area in-between.<br>Good amount of picnic benches for the grown-ups to rest and the wonderful little steam train ride. A good family day out.
