Knockhatch Adventure Park
Latest Reviews
I visited Knockhatch while staying in Hastings for a few nights. It was one of the more appealing things to do with children in the area and reasonably priced.
As we visited on a quieter day not everything was available however, the website did make this clear and we were given a timetable on entry so that we knew what attractions were available at what time.
My daughter loved the flying swing and the playgrounds available outdoors. We were a little surprised to find that one of the play areas near the owls was not available on our visit as this we couldn't find mentioned anywhere.. or that the mini quads were also not available :-(
We did find the soft play area well worth the visit and the animals were very well received by my daughter.

Even though I live in Sussex I had never heard of this place. Visited with friends on a school inset day so it was very quite. Loads to do for the kids and a reasonably priced café with good quality food. Special mention to Chris for the owl displays and all the amazing information he was able to tell us about the owls and other animals in the animal encounter section and also to Michael and Darren for running the bungee jump, Laser combat and go-karts. They were very friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend

Our 2nd visit quiet but excellent opportunity to speak with the staff who are all informative and helpful. The go karts are the boys favourites. We did the animal encounter and thoroughly enjoyed our day.

First impressions; scruffy, tired looking place, admission price does not include many of the activities, ie; the good ones, the ones your kids will want to go on again and again, be prepared to spend an absolute fortune on these rides / attractions.
However, it's not all bad, plenty of things for little ones to do, indoor and outdoor play area's, lot's of animals to feed and engage with, some good displays of birds of prey etc, meerkats,goats etc etc. the boating lake is included in the admission cost as is the water slide.
The place is long overdue a makeover and in need of a re-think regarding it's 'extra's'.

Arrived just as it opened! Very reasonably priced adventure park with just enough going on to amuse my 3 year old for 2/3 hours! Probably would have stayed longer if he hadn't fallen asleep!!

It's a great place to take the kids and there's a lot to do. The price had gone up a bit since last year, but they do seem to be developing the park a bit more, so I don't mind that too much.<br><br>Some of the activities (e.g. climbing wall, bungee trampoline and go-karts) are an additional cost, but there is a lot to do as standard, including a big soft play and various rides and shows, so you could keep a child amused without spending any extra.<br><br>The staff are very friendly (and often very young), and are very good with kids.

We have visited knockhatch throughout the years and this is always a fantastic day out with loads for the children to do. Plenty to see and do, the children never get bored and reluctant to go home at the end of the day. Well worth a day out, that is affordable and reasonably priced. 😆

I have been bringing my son here on and off for the last 5 years, since he was 4. There is always plenty to do for him. Now he's bigger the go karts are fun (you have to pay extra). The drop slide and wave runner are great too and a relaxing row around the lake is good fun. Good thing about Knockhatch is that parents can join in most things too. They also take Tesco days out vouchers which help make it an inexpensive day.

We go hear regularly, we always enjoy it. It gets very busy in the school holidays so as my children are young I avoid that time of year.
Lots to do for all ages.
Food is ok and reasonably priced can be a long wait tho on busy days.
They could do with some chairs by the pool area. Also I think the doors in froggys should be button release.

Got there at 10am left at 5.30pm, children and adults had a great day in the sun. Enjoyed the massive water slide, owl show and looking at the animals. Something for everyone. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thanks.

We came here as a treat for my 10 year old boy who is one of my carers. All 3 kids loved it. We took a picnic with us to save money, but still got ice creams & we had coffee & slush puppies in the indoor play centre bit.
The paddling pool was a bit dirty but I suppose with everyone eating round there and kids weeing in there it would be so be prepared for that. There's so much to do & all 3 of my kids were entertained & didn't get bored (result)
My ONLY bugbear was that selfish people kept using the disabled toilet because they were too selfish to wait. I use a wheelchair & can't get into the small ones. I did give them a peice of my mind and this wasn't the parks fault. However as a constructive criticism it could be a good idea to put a notice on the door saying those toilets are ONLY for disabled people. Simulator ride was good....I even went on that but wished I hadn't as it jolted my back badly but the others loved it so it was worth it. Lots of physical actives to burn off calories & keep this kids entertained. The gift shop wasn't a rip off either.
Would I go back. Defo!!

We last visited in February and then again last week. There's so much to do here for the entry price & even more since our February visit. My kids loved the new indoor play barn. Everything is so well looked after and clean. Can't wait to visit again.

We loved it here. Visited with my 5 year old and baby. So much for the kids to see and do. Especially loved the avalanche slide.

Knock Hatch is a lovely place but the rub is whilst it's not the most expensive place to get in, once you are in a lot of the fun the fun things costs more money - trampoline, go carts, mini carts, rock climbing... So it can be a rather expensive day out overall.
The only major let down is the amount of wasps. I've never been to a place with so many wasps . It's a serious issue they need to sort out as made certain things like eating almost impossible!

We came here for a family day out during the school holidays. We had been wanting to come for a while so used Tesco vouchers to get in. Well worth the money. We got there when it opened and had to drag the boys (aged 9 and 7) away at the end when they were shutting!
Park is clearly signposted, helping with the navigation and it is just the right size that we could have let the boys go off and play with out following them around (if he didn't want to join in the fun as well).
All staff were very helpful, and we only had to wait for an hour to go on the go-karts (but this was due to Karts needing to go into the pits and was explained by the 2 assistants running the attraction), but with 2 adults to the 2 boys we were able to keep the youngest (who was too small for Go-karts) occupied whilst one was in the queue.
Having the animals there was an added bonus, and being able to watch the owls fly whilst having a talk about them was a highlight ( we have a boy mad about birds of prey).
Rowing boats, avalanche slide, demon drop slide (scarly enough to get my husbands heart racing and he used to do parachuting!), quad piller ride, bouncy pillows, all was fantastic.
We ended up at the soft play (which we haven't been in for ages because of the ages of the boys) but they loved it - and it was a perfect opportunity to have a much needed cup of tea :)
The day really got away from us, we are really happy and looking forward to come back another year
Thank you Knockhatch for one of the best days out we have had :)

This place is one of the only places you visit and feel like you get value for money, spent the morning doing the animals and looking around the zoo, the afternoon doing the activities, spent all day there and still didn't do everything, kids loved it!!! Is a must do for families with kids

Visited today with our tesco vouchers, we didn't get there till midday after the Sat Nav getting us lost (apparently this happens a lot so double check on a map) really busy, long que. Main advice is not to bother doing anything with a que, they just don't have the staff and nothing was quicker than 30 minutes today. The parks, playgrounds, animals and indoor play areas are all brilliant (outdoor pool is filthy but kids adore it) prices in gift shop are really reasonable but bring a picnic to save a small fortune on bad food. Staff are friendly and it's good value for money if you hit the right areas. Something that is really stupid is you have to pay with tokens for certain "extras" and you can only obtain these from the entrance shop, meaning people que for half and hour only to be sent back to the shop to buy tokens and then have to re-que. There's no warning of this on the rides and it's not explained clearly at the entrance. Toilets disgusting. Outdoor areas and the indoor play are fantastic and the animals are really lovely too. We went on a peak day to be fair, would go back and stick to the main play bits.

It is a good time but you have to pay for go-carts and some over things. It is a really go day .<br>There also a soft play area and one for very young children

We visited Knockhatch today using Tesco clubcard vouchers. The entrance fee is very reasonable , but there are several add ons which if you have 2 or more children soon add up. Our 10 year old enjoyed the day and there was plenty to do. The only downside would be the general customer service from the staff - many are very young and don't seem to be able to interact or use common sense. A classic example is the 2 young lads manning the go karts. We queued for over an hour, some had waited longer and the queue hadn't seemed that long. They had 6 go -karts, but if there was a group of 4 or 5 they would take the spares off the track, rather than ask the queue if there were any singles to make up the numbers- I did point this out to them but they were not interested. They also wasted time by not preparing the next group of drivers whilst one lot were going round. They really needed some oomph!

Had so much fun at this place, everything is so reasonably priced - from entrance fees to slush puppies (£1)
Both us adults and the children (7&9) had so much fun here. We got here for when it opened and didn't leave until closing and we still didn't have time to do all the park so are back off here tomorrow. Can not recommend enough :)
