Wheelgate Park Review

Paradise for under tens. Might look a bit battered to the grown-up eye but the kids adore it. Good value

Absolutely love everything about this place lots to do from animals rides water park.execllent food lovely staff.lots of play areas if your younger ones don't like the rides.arts and crafts.pinic areas just amazing give it ago you will not be disappointed xx

Had a fab day out. Great value for money. Plenty to do. Would highly recommend

Lovely day out for the kids. Even better with the splash park.

Everything worn out, staff grumpy, most rides not working.

Great for younger children. My children are 5 and 8 and they loved it. Great splash park if the weather is good.

Great place, had a fab day out. Though spray painting a donkey and strapping a party hat to it's head does not make it a unicorn. I think those animals would be better left alone. Apart from that, great attraction, excellent value and a good place to spend a day.

Great place for young kids with a variety of rides and activities. Always a good day out

Great for the kids. Not overly expensive until you buy food. Take a picnic

Superb mini theme park for kids of all ages...I was there with 3 other adults, a 1yr old, 2 3yr olds and a 13 year old,all of which had a fabulous day out!
Clean park, friendly staff, lots of parking so I was happy

OK but it's starting to feel a bit worn around the edges.
Three rides not working, paths in need of holes filling in and a general tidy up and lick of paint is needed.

A full day out for all ages and excellent value for money!!

Annual pass is a must for this place, cheaper than any soft play. Fab value for money

I haven't been here yet, but when I do, I will write a proper review.

In desperate need of a total clean. The rides look tired. It could really do with some money being spent on it. The toilets were disgusting dirty and smelly.

Good for children up to about 12 years. Water park excellent. Parts of the main park neglected, needs maintenance, lick of paint etc.

Lovely day with kids not expensive.lots to do ans see. We took a picnic .

Took three kids, age 5-10, all thoroughly enjoyed the day. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

My kids love it. We have annual passes so can go anytime. Water park is fab.

Great family fun place with lovely helpfull and friendly staff.

It's great for the kids but my only gripe is the lack of decent food available to buy but I guess you can just bring your own packed lunch.

Still a great place with plenty to do. Some areas are looking really tired and worn like the adventure golf and tropical house. In fact the tropical house is pretty awful. It's more of a dead tropical house and probably best closed down now. We saw one half dead looking butterfly amongst the dead looking plants. It really stinks too, couldn't get round quick enough. If your not going to takecare of it just close it as it's a real turn off! It's busy and stuff getting worn I understand it's hard to keep up with refurbishment but I really think it's time you invested on the older equipment now.
The falconry display was fantastic. Great bloke with passion for his birds and fantastic with children.

Really good play area for kids aged between 2-6. Have come with nursery twice, and the children have really enjoyed it. Loads to do, farm, water park and rides all suited for the younger age group. Will come again.

Great for the little ones plenty to do for a full day out.

We have a very full fun day, with all the different attractions available.
The water world is fantastic.
The best thing of all is.......
ALL attractions are inclusive in the price

Went with three kids under 5 for first time. Really enjoyed the splash water park but time limited to 1 hour only and time had to be prebooked due to covid19. Long wait on all rides due to covid restrictions and closing off of seats on rides so couldnt go on many rides and some rides were completely closed - ticket price should therefore have been reduced or other paid activities such as wall climbing should have been made free instead. Some covid measures made no sense, eg queing next to people with no staff monitering for over 40 minutes but then only operating 2 bumper boats at a time to distance on a pond?! May return just for waterpark again sometime.

Local and pretty much everything included in the price

A little run down in places but a good day out for children under 8

Plenty for the kids to. Always a fun day out for the family

Super day out, must have a child with you to get in, but here is oodles of space and lots to do. One day is not enough. Food is decent with lots of choices as to location and variety.

Jan 2018 .. haven't been here for 15 years ! And it has changed substantially.. exelent well done staff my children had a great time even with the cold weather

The park is good for young children, but terrible for any kid over 6 years old. Sadly, the management offer an incompetent service, and have zero customer service skills. They openly acknowledge they have made an error and activated your More

Amazing!!! The price to get in wasnt overly expensive and the kids absolutely loved it. Great day out, would say its aimed at children aged 10 or under. The waterpark was great and the food was good value for money

Great value for money. Staff very friendly. The kids loved it & animals were fab. Best part of day was watching my niece on gaza slide - try it if u dare! X

Kids love it, a few rides etc could do with a bit of tlc to be fair. Good day out for the right money.

Its clean, fairly priced when booked online, lots to do. Animal section could do with better animals. Falcon centre had 1 hawk, with 8 different owls, not very impressive. Only came here as my nearest sister branch twin lakes had shut the water park. Wasnt worth the journey

This was my first visit to Wheelgate Park! On one hand it was nice to have somewhere to go that was suitable for a toddler. The few rides that are there (and working) are all suitable for the little ones to have a go on! My almost 3 year old had a wonderful time!

On the other hand, it was like stepping back in time. The whole place needs a little TLC!!!!! Most things have seen better days! Particularly the tropical house.... the plants are dying! No animals to see in there except a couple of ducks and a few fish! Toilets have seen better days. Indoor area is weird, with random old sofas around the place.

Overall we had a great day, it would be a shame to see it go further down hill without the attention it needs!

Lovely park for young kids. Needs more rides and more toilets x

Great place to take the kids! Get the annual pass if you can it's worth it

Excellent value for money. I have been today with my three grand children age 7 & two 3 year olds they just loved it ideal for this age group. The only fault I found was the toilets near the entrance could have been cleaner and more of them.

Nice park, but theres not alot of rides for children over 8, looked at the animals,
We didnt use the splash park however it looked masive and would be very good.

Excellent for kids coffee is awful not impressed with food

The park itself is great. Loads to do and stuff for toddlers as well as older kids. However, there are a lot of out of control children breaking the rules, e.g. touching the animals, older boisterous kids in the under 5s area. Since their parents were unconcerned, there need to be more staff who actually give a toss and tell them to stop. I only saw one member of staff monitoring a play area, where kids were breaking the rules in front of his eyes, and he said nothing.

Fantastic day out for kids and family the calf food is reasonable

Had a brilliant day at the water park then a walk round the animals and play area. Xxx

The kids love it very much and the ticket price are decent, great place to love it

Very bad Games are limited to young children only and there is no one to occupy them

This place is perfect for my 2 year old. Love it when the park is virtually empty

Only one fault, the tress need cutting back in the parks. Very overgrown.
Apart from that its a good day out

I think this park is ok if your kids are 5-7 years old.....and that's it! The younger rides are like fair ground rides, nothing special. The splash park has nothing for younger kids, and there were no mats spare to even try the slides out. Staff were just kids and did not have the experience to help things be more orderly.

The park is looking tired in my opinion. Needs some investment.
The food was average at best.

The only real plus is the price point! It's not expensive when compared to other theme parks.....but I would say you get what you pay for, meaning I would have rather spent more money and gone to Alton Towers.

All that said the kids did enjoy themselves.

Ps they let too many people in IMO

We have a yearly pass for wheelgate and visit a lot. It's easy for us as it's 5min drive from home. The new fort park is great and the kids love it. Some part of the park is very tired and is in need of tidying up. The toilets are disgusting and smell awful. A few more tables and chairs are needed for busy times. It's ok but I wouldn't visit if we didn't have a pass.

Lots to do for kids but 8 would take a pack up as food expensive

My daughter and I love taking kids there worth every penny even better if you get annual passes

I went with my two sons one 21 and one 5 they both had a fab time my 5 year old flew a owl which he loved

Only been once when was young and remember it so can't be bad.. drove past the other day so it was like driving down memory lane!!

Nice place with some new things to do, some things are a little tired. My 5yr old does not notice and has a of a time. Lots of different events to do thought the year including all the major holidays.

Lovely time with the kids, very dire conditions, needs a serious renovation but kids will have fun. Water Park is freezing advise to use this on a HOT day rather than mild.

Great place for kids between 4 and 7 any older and they would probably get bored. Food was basic not much choice unless you like your bog standard burger and chips, prices reasonable but didn t find the eating areas very clean and the floors were full of left overs! We went to watch the falconry show which was very entertaining as we only sat there for ten minutes and the bench a few of us were sat on broke and we all fell backwards! Luckily no-one was hurt! Few things out or order and the rides could do with a little tlc but for kids that don t notice things like that it keeps them entertained for the day.

Very happy my chids. Game for all! Open space,animals and quiet. Good day with my family!

its alright. nothing to rave about. woudnt pay the price again during lockdown i places as most rides werent open at all and no masks are enforced inside whatsoever. the rides need a serious update. only plus is water park is lovely.

Really enjoyed it, great for under 10s. My son is quite tall and couldn't go on a few rides. Other than that a great day.

Great day out in the sun with the kids,
Recommended for young kids but fun all round

A good open space to take the kids as both my boys aged 4 and 6 years old really enjoyed their day. It was made even better as we benefited from the discount, half praise from 3pm.

It's a good day out for children under 12. Food could be better so I'd recommend a packed lunch. Over all its worth coming if you ain't been before.
