Knockhatch Adventure Park
Latest Reviews
My wife, yougest son and my grandson, my son's nephew, visited Knockhatch Adventure Park and had a lovely time.
As we had prebooked our tickets online, we were able to get through on a seperate smaller queue than those who had turned up to pay on the day. There is also a small discount for those who book online.
There was plenyy to see and do including a small petting barn, where you could feed some sheep an alpaca and a couple of llamas, both of whom were very well behaved.
Beside the petting barn is another barn where the staff run a number of activities throughout the day sich as animal encounters and indoor owl displays, which are worth seeing.
As you walk around the park youu will find lost of different animals, some of which you can feed, a cup of animal/bird feed is 50p as I write this, such as goats, rabbits, deer and some very friendly wallabies.
There are a number of differently themed playbarns which are free to get into but of course there are a small number of rides and attractions that cost a small fee to go on.
We had a burger and chips for lunch and these were very good and reasonably priced although the coke zero that I had did seem a little bit watery.
The park does seem to be bringing new things for children to do when they're there. The latest appears to be The Dragon's Castle adventure playground. It's a massive play bulding that looks like it's been taken staight out of a storybook and will look even better when it's timber construction has time become weathered in, rather than it's brand new pristine timber look.
All in all a great day out was had by all members of our group.

We visited Knockhatch and enjoyed a nice day out. We were 2 adults and 5 children, all aged between 1-12years. There was something suitable for all the children and despite the car park being very full the grounds/facilities coped very well. It didn’t feel chaotic or congested, which was great!
If I was to give any feedback to the park it would be that they should offer child size meals or meal deals at their fast food outlets, as paying separately for the burgers and chips became quite expensive £3.20 (Burger) + £3 (Chips) and the portions were way too big for kids. In addition I think it was a great pity that there were so many other hidden extras that you have to pay for once you are in the park e.g Go karting, row boats etc. I feel like these could be covered in the entry price and if people wanted to have subsequent goes then these could be booked additionally. Also by about 2pm the toilets were smelly and looking very unclean.
However, overall I would consider Knockhatch as value for money day out, especially if you book online (saving 20%) and take a picnic. I would definitely come back on a warm, sunny day.

The British weather may have been bit rubbish but thanks to the excellent customer service and friendly and polite staff, we had a lovely day and there was enough to occupy my 10 year old daughter and our 70 year old friends.

What a fabulous day....we arrived early & were first in the queue but as we booked online saving a considerable sum, we were straight into the park...there was so much to do & see....first up was the petting zoo....the kids were loving the giant rabbits...wallabies & their babies....& much more...the food was only 50p for a good size cup....ample for this first part....all the way round there are hand washing stations...so many of amazing areas to explore , even tho there were parts not open & some under construction we still spent over 6 hours here....we took a picnic but as the weather wasn’t great, quite chilly, although the kids didn’t seem to notice, & were about to eat in the Chicken shed...a fun barn with soft balls & cannons to fire at each other...we adults enjoyed this as much as they did...& a lovely clean area to eat our food but coffee & icecream available....The lost world was favourite for the children....dinosaurs...rope bridges & ladders in a jungle to be climbed to reach the four giant slides....2 of which were sheer drops....scary
Jumping pillows, adventure playground, pirate cove, nature trail, quad bike ride, all included in the entry price....trampolines, go karts & diggers at a small extra cost.
Plenty of toilet facilities...a good reasonably priced self service cafe with good coffee in a fantastic soft play area.
I’m sure I have missed so much, & this was without the new areas to be open for Easter...The dragon Castle will be amazing.
& my favourite activity....The owl show....up close with a kookaburra & owls.....this lasted 30 mins but was very informative & interesting
All the staff were friendly & attentive....we were four generations....great grandma,grandma,2 Mums & 4 grandkids.....we all had a super time & will definitely revisit

Great for the kids. Getting better everytime we visit. There has been a lot of investment here, and it really shows. If you want to make sure your kids go to bed tired. This is the place.

Mostly happy with the park, the adventure area is great, but would prefer that smoking not be allowed inside a children's park.

We had a family day out at Knockhatch today. It was bar far the best family day out for a long time. Knocked the socks off other centres locally. We loved the Animal Encounters with Snakes and Spiders, the staff are fantastic, helpful, friendly and always on hand to help.
There were a few negatives, but the positives outweighed the whole day. I personally do not like gift shops at the entrance to a venue. It puts the parent in a negative mindset by entering the venue, it should be at the end. Garden centres do this a lot and I avoid them like the plague.
Once through this area, though you're welcomed by the Animal Encounter section with Wallabies bouncing around in a fenced enclosure. Ducks in a pond, Rabbits as big as small dogs and an array of chickens and farm animals. They even had a Chicken called Donald as he looked like Trump!
The activity site is massive and caters for a huge array of activities. We didn't do all them today, but I am going back to do more another weekend with my kids. They absolutely loved it and gave it a perfect 10/10.
Knockhatch is a family fun centre with pure joy and delight to be had.
I loved seeing the Meerkats, Racoons and Skunks, they were amazing and looked very well looked after. One even stopped for a photo pose. :-)
Well worth a visit as a family day out and not expensive at all.

We went with our grandchildren aged 7 and 11. We were rather cross to find that lots of the things the girls wanted to do cost extra. For example, the bouncy trampoline was extra, and the climbing wall would have been extra (we did not do that as it also meant getting a member of staff to supervise), and if you want to play mini-golf, you have to go back to the entrance to put down a deposit on the balls and clubs. They also have Rules everywhere! We've never seen so many Rules. They are probably covering their own back for insurance purposes by posting so many, but other places do not seem to have to be so officious. Eventually, we just stopped reading them, which means that they are pretty useless. Better to have just a few important ones? They have two bouncing pillows, one for very little people, and one for older ones. The Rules (!) state that very small people may not bounce on the older children's pillow, but obviously nobody else was reading The Rules either, as everybody of whatever age were bouncing around on the big pillow. We had lunch in their main restaurant, which was adequate and what you would expect, but sadly there is a soft play area at the back of the building, which means that your meal has a background of screaming children. The girls had an OK day, but were not particularly excited by it, and actually prefer another, similar entertainment park farm further up the A22 - which does not charge for lots of extras!

From meeting the first member of staff on the entrance we were confident of a great day. The young lady was friendly, helpful, enthusiastic about her job and thoughtful about what might be suitable for our 18month old twin granddaughters. We took her advice about where to start and where to eat and all in all we enjoyed every moment of our day. The girls simply enjoyed running around in the sunshine with us chasing them! And yet there were so many things to interest them, at their level and easy for them to interact with. From hens, owls, rabbits, ducks, goats, ponies, cows, wallabies, meerkats and I have forgotten some we saw...
There were large pictures of animals all around for the girls to see alongside the real animals and it was fascinating to watch them respond excitedly to both the live animals and the images.
Our toddlers also much loved the wooden tractor and combine harvester playground with slides and tunnels. We seemed to be there for hours!!!
What also impressed us was that the staff were like the lady on the entrance, answering our questions and being always very helpful. Everything was well maintained and easy to access, even with a double buggy and other clobber.
We will definitely be going back. As the girls get older they will be able to do more by themselves and access the more challenging parts of the soft play area and other attractions around the farm.

Visited at the request of our two grandchildren aged 6 and 8; we had a good day out. Plenty of animals to see and pet; animal food is available from the shop. There is a reasonable variety of attractions for the children to play on to the extent that the 5 hours we were there passed pretty quickly. A couple of the attractions are at extra cost (go-carts and bungee jumping) and have minimum age/height restrictions - tickets available from the shop at the entrance. The onsite food outlets are a little basic and in our experience the quality was not particularly good - if we visit again we will take a picnic.

Visited with my granddaughters on a cold overcast day but this didn't spoil our day. A great venue with lovely animals to pet. Good activities for all ages and a good selection of places to eat and drink.
One downside was the owl show. It started 10 minutes late for no discernable reasons and then it finished after 15 minutes. We only saw 2 birds.
Apart from that, we all had a great day.
