Stockeld Park Review

Wow. Great experience . The kids will love this . A good time to go is in the dark for the full effect of the lights in the forest.

Plenty for kids to do and very magical on a night when you walk around the enchanted forrest

Most mind numbingly tedious experience of my life. Nordic skiing is basically the rich Eskimos alternative to walking and ice skating was almost as depressing!

Great park for youngsters. We spent around 5 hours here. Was great when the lights went down

My daughter and I love this place. Enchanted forest, many parks, scooters, bouncy castles, bikes, roller skates all great fun

Great day out, plenty to do. Brilliant festive day out, with two views (daylight and illuminated after dark). Kids and adults entertained, the Cross Country ski track did however need some more water to help with the zoom. There must have been a hosepipe ban in North Yorkshire in December!

Had an amazing day, the park was well organised and thoroughly cleaned throughout the day.
All the staff were fantastic. Highly recommended

Fab day out with the children. Only thing that spoilt it was rude people pushing children so they could get in front. IL definitely return again.

Nicely kept park, but not as expected. It is an expensive visit as not much to do ... it's like a large outdoor playground. Great fun on the slide rope
But lots of walking between . The ski path is hard work on the legs and isn't much fun for smaller children- my grandson of 7yrs found it heavy going and slow.
The ice rink looks super on the photos but it is basic and being outdoors - cold. Also the tardis phones in the maze didn't work on both occasions we have visited.

You need more than one visit the kids i went with want to come back again

Wonderful summer day out for families- great at Christmas time too plenty to do . definitely a whole days worth of fun

A brilliant place to visit the lights and decorations are lovely a excellent place to take children a lovely Christmas visit

Great experience took the grandchildren to see Santa and walk round the trail which was all lit up beautifully they loved it would recommend it

Such a great place to visit. Brilliant facilities and staff couldn't be more helpful..

Well organised, staff helpful and cleaning all the time. Lots of hand-wash stations, especially near play areas. Hand gel pots everywhere. Plenty of picnic benches and areas to social distance your picnic. Staggered entry helped it feel manageable and not rushed. Brilliant day.

Brilliant day out for kids. Lots closed but 4-5 hours of fun despite it!

Forest walk and maze were really good and worth the entry price, cafe also had reasonably priced food, only let down was the slow clearance of tables in the cafe which meant 25% of the tables were unusable, which was a bit of an issue when it was quite busy.

Great place for families. Lots to do for all ages. Shona (I think that was her name) was one of the staff on the ice skating rink and she was just amazing with my daughters. She spent so much time helping them build their confidence, skating around with them and chatting away. She really made their day so a big thank you to her.

Very good day well worth a visit very well organised parking and very clean and family friendly

This is a great place to visit in the darker months. The enchanted forest trail is full of beautiful lights. There are stunning models and play areas for kids and those young at heart. We visited in November and enjoyed the ice skating rink as well as a meal in the cafe. The maze was a delight and a great place to get lost in

We went for the firework show which was fantastic! Definitely going to go next year, there looks like alot of fun activities for families throughout the year also. Hopefully next year there will be more people serving food as the poor girls behind the counters seemed to be doing everything which led to a long queue (Hence the 4 stars)

Great play spaces but not ONE recycling bin in the picnic areas or on the trails. Chucking away plastic bottles and cardboard into landfill in today's climate is incredibly irresponsible - but most families were doing just that because there was no other provision.

It was a good place a very good light show and staff was helpful

What a fantastic place! First time we have visited and certainly will be back, they have really thought of everything.

Good place for a one day family picnic and for kids entertainment!

Has good woodland walk and ice skating also lots of play areas.

Going to the Christmas adventure has become a family tradition. We always enjoy walking through the enchanted forest and just spending time there together.

Great Playgrounds in beautiful setting, lovely day out.

Lovely place to visit with kids around Christmas. Unfortunately haven't had the pleasure any other time of year but can imagine it being just as nice

Wow wow wow. What a fantastic place this is. I just can t stop telling everyone I know about this park. I took my boys here on the last bank holiday Monday in May. The circus was fab. The assault course was fantastic. The maze, the enchanted Forrest. Wow wow wow. The place was faultless. Money well well spent. We got there for 10.30am. We left at 6pm and we could have easily stayed for a couple of more hours. Definitely will be going back again

Brilliant value for money for the ticket day pass from the Internet, 2 adults 2 kids, very clean and tidy all through from the toilets to the enchanted wood very well kept, only critism is none of your own food in the cafe which is fair enough but on a day like today when it's not boiling provide somewhere with shelter to eat your own food, your a family friendly venue your staff are very good and a credit to you, but remember not everyone wants cafe food for thier dinner,

Absolutly Brilliant for the kids plenty to see and do. Will recommend to anyone with kids as a good day out.

Fabulous place for kids and adults even the oldest kids will love it

Loved it... Great family fun plenty to do. Well worth a visit.. And especially at night skiing through the enchanted forest in the dark...

Expensive not value for money however activities on their own are good.

Spent a lovely day in the sunshine. They've done a good job setting thinks up to help families stay separate from others and our little ones didn't really notice, they just had a really good time. Lots of smiles and good value for money.

Good place to bring kids . Only slightly disappointing thing is it's not really skiing more shuffling your feet around enchanted forest. The mazes good ice skating is good. Foods ok to

Absolutely fantastic day out both children aged 10 and 11 enjoyed it all

Brilliant day out in between christmas and new year. The water fountains/light show were second to none .

Visited Santa today, & I was very disappointed. He wasn't a good one, didn't seem that interested in the kids, just wanted to get his script read. My 2 year old son lost his "magic coin" to get a present, & Santa almost didn't believe we'd paid for him to have a toy, labouring the point a little, & almost ruining the magic for my 4 year old! I felt we were rushed, & having looked back at pictures I'm extremely disappointed that when we were taking pictures, Santa ONLY looked at the official camera, & not us taking pictures. Obviously money is more important than magic to Stockeld Park now, because they want you to pay a premium for official photos. The place was absolutely jam-packed aswell. As someone else has commented, they are a victim of their own success. I came a few years ago and it was great, but after this experience I will spend my hard-earned money elsewhere next year!

Loved it. Great for kids of any age. Even 50yr old kids

Great lights and even better hot chocolate...the first set of string lights was the best bit....more of that would be great

Had a lovely time here last Christmas with our family visiting from Devon, the Santa was amazing, in the enchanted forest there is a lovely little coffee shack.

It's a great place for the kids mine are 7 and 15 and both enjoyed it, they have 5 parks there, they were open but they closed 1when it got dark (sandpit park) the lights were fab and no waiting time for the ice skating, my kids went on More

Great for young kids, lots to do! Including Ice Skating in winter...

Family friendly location. Friendly staff and great services.

Staff were great and, although the weather was wintery, the outdoor attractions were still great fun!

Really enjoyable for kids lovely santa grotto and the enchanted wood was lovely looks really pretty with all the lights the woodland cafe not so good could do with better selection of sandwiches and the layout of the cafe is a bit unorganised has really good seating area tho and plenty of room Stockheld park is really worth a visit !!

Always an excellent day out with our young boys. But was very impressed with the preparedness for COVID; sanitiser, portable hand washing stations and signs for social distancing. The shop and cafe was closed but makeshift ones are there for distancing. Excellent day.

Brilliant place for the kids, lots to see and do, only gripe being that there was too many people allowed in at once, but still enjoyed!!

A bit too expensive for family they need to look at their pricing

Great place for the kids, toilets in a few places and fair prices. Kids loved the Christmas lights.

Car park was very muddy and was a little concerned the car would get stuck.

A great festive day out! The grotto is superb, and the enchanted walk was loved by all the family. Great food, and excellent Christmas store.

The new summer adventure areas are fantastic, and will keep children amused for the whole day!

We have visited the Winter Wonderland at Stockeld Park twice and it was a great day out both times. Meeting Father Christmas was a magical experience for our little girl. To meet the big man, you get a ticket / number and when you see your relevant number slot on one of the screens dotted around, you head down to his cabin - You walked under an archway which is covered in fairy lights and music is playing, round the corner to the cabin where the elves greet you and take you in to meet Father Christmas and get a present.
There is an outdoor ice skating rink and a ski trail around the enchanted forest. We ve spent hours walking through the forest where there is something to see and do every few minutes along the way, such as play areas, talking tree, fairy garden and troll bridge, wishing well, lake with mermaid and crocodile, and loads more.
There is a pedal go-karting area and a park. The shop has lots to offer in the way of Christmas decorations, gifts, souvenirs and sweets. The restaurant is decent too.
We have also been to the Easter Adventure where the ice rink had become a roller skating area and the ski trail was used for segways, which were great fun.
We have been in the maze twice, but never been able to find the middle! We ve ended up making our way out, using an online map, in fits of giggles as my husband starts to have a mild panic attack and claim he hates mazes!
I think we need to go for the Halloween Adventure this year.

Beautiful Enchanted Forest display and very challenging maze!

A pleasant day out. The maze and the enchanted forest were lovely and great fun. The Nordic dry ski was hard work boring and a bit pointless. The children were afraid to go on the ice rink as there were no guide rails and people were clustered round the entrances making it hard to get on the ice. Nevertheless we all had a good day.

Great day had at Stockeld today with 7, 4 and 2 year old something for everyone, great ice skating and play areas we loved the enchanted forest and maze great time had by all! feeling festive now!

took my 2 grandaughters here it was fantastic lots to do for young and older children for a family of 4 i thought was reasonable priced grandchildren loved it only 3 we didnt try out as it was extra but still great fun in the enchanted forest you can sit and have a picnic and children can play definitely reccomend hence 5*

Fantastic for the kids and adults attended halloween and Christmas had a fab time

Fantastic value for money Yorkshire attraction which we visit at least every year and spend the whole day there. This time was the winter illuminations and we went round the forest twice, to play the first time and see the lights the second. Every year they seem to get something new that just adds to the value, although I doubt they'll ever top that teapot slide! Yes it seems expensive on first look but we spent nearly 6 hours there!

This is a lovely place to visit. They often hold events at the park, see press for details. Don't miss the Fairy tale like Christmas walk through the enchanted forest. Magical for kids of all ages.

My 8 year old niece said this was her best day out ever and we go somewhere every Saturday so that was a big complement. Her 3 year old sister loved it too, we will go again before the end of the school holidays

Absolutely fabulous for the kids. Take a picture of the maze before you go in :-)
