I can thoroughly recommend this family run attraction. They really have made an effort to make this a great place for young children with a good playground and the minature steam railway is fantastic and picturesque. Go - you won't be disappointed.

Spent three hours with my family here and was a bit disappointed.<br><br>The site is good and well laid out, and the staff were friendly and a lot of time has gone into the facility. 10 / 10 so far.<br><br>But, the model railways require 20 p for each of them to work, and the garden railway is "tiny" and has Thomas stock on it.<br><br>Although the timetable said steam would be running, and it is called a miniature "steam" railway - the diesel loco was running and no explanation as to why.<br><br>It will appeal to a young family, but as a model railway fan and steam fan was a bit disappointed.<br><br>My 9 year old had a greta time though

I have been visiting the miniature railway since a child and have watched it grow into a great value family day out which is very hard to find nowadays!!
It has a brand new gift shop which isn't overpriced and full of gifts for people of all ages (it isn't just all thomas stuff - but the bits that are are sometimes cheaper than ELC and compared to the Thomas bits at Drusillas its half the price!).
There is a large patio area with a cafe selling homemade sandwiches, the best filter coffee around and yet again good value ice creams.
A great sized play area for the kids that is well maintained and an inside area full of model railways :) A lovely walk around the fishing lake brings you to another picnic area and a smaller play area where you can sit and watch as the train goes past and observe the wildlife from the nearby fields.
The train itself is FAB! You climb aboard and straddle a carriage as it takes you around the parks lake, everyday there is a different train that takes you round and its great fun whatever your age! The train driver and guard make sure your all aboard, the whistle blows and off you go!
The park is excellent for a day out but also for after school visits, I've bought a family pass and we often pop in for a nice cuppa and for the little ones to run around.
For a family run attraction its the bees knees and i can't wait for the next season!

We took 3-year-old grandson who thoroughly enjoyed the children's adventure play area - safely bounded on all sides, imaginative climbing frames etc., wendy houses hidden in a glade of trees, plenty
of seating in the sun or shade for adults. Unfortunately the willow maze was shut but it looked suitably mysterious and we look forward to trying it next time...
Miniature steam trains (some days diesel) you sit on - one ride with standard admission, unlimited rides for a bit extra. Through meadows,
woodland, a bridge and a tunnel. Also miniature gauge railways in glass cases, fun for enthusiasts - only 20p a go.
Cafeteria - well-presented sandwiches, very reasonable prices, ample tables and chairs - comfy chairs too. Thomas the Tank Engine shop, even a wooden toy railway for tots. Rides on Thomas static engine only 20p which is amazing considering most of these toddler rides are at least 50p.
Very pleasant lakeside walk with another climbing thingy halfway round. Ducks, geese and swans, with babies at the right time of year.
One little grouch - toilet cubices very small - need to be big enough for parent and child as this attraction is mainly for very young children - but owner told me they're planning new buildings, so hopefully will be resolved.
Lovely atmosphere, doesn't cost an arm and a leg - admission much less than most attractions. Best on a nice day as mostly outside. Good website. Recommended.
