We visited today for the first time in nearly a year and the improvements and additional activities and attractions have made a good day out into a fantastic day out. Excellent value for money, park clean and tidy, staff friendly! Well done knockhatch! So much to do and see- we will certainly be coming back very soon and more frequently!

The staff are always friendly and the place is clean and well laid out, the have recently spent allot of money on new attractions which are great, highly recommend

My husband bought me the meerkat experience as a present. I did wonder if the park would be enough for two adults ... It was a wonderful day. They had some farm animals along with the meerkats racoon, skunk and owls. A lovely boating lake. They had a lovely park also an indoor dinosaur land. Cafes and picnic areas. The food was very reasonable too. Friendly and welcoming staff and our host was very knowledgeable and interactive with us. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a day here with or without the kids. I shall be returning with our grandchildren.

What a fab day out! I think every age would love this place... Not many places have much for teenagers as well as young children but Knockhatch have got their selection of activities just right.

A thoroughly enjoyable day out, very reasonably priced, plenty for all ages, including adults. Reasonably priced food which is a welcome change from anywhere else nearby, a special mention for the ladycrunning the simulator who couldn't do enough to ensure that everyone enjoyed the attraction, would definitely visit again .

Brilliant day out, The two bird shows were so interesting the two young men James and Ben were so informative and really new there stuff they had a great attitude and made it fun to watch. James also gave us a talk about the meerkats, skunk and racoon, he had so much knowledge on all these animals we really learnt a lot and were very impressed by the care the staff had about the animals.

Went today for a meerkat experience which was great. I have to say the young man gave us so much information about them it was unbelievable what he knew!!
Having never been here before and coming for the meerkat experience there is so much here to do that we will definitely return on a nicer day (today was practically raining all day ) so many things to do and although the bad weather we still had a go on almost everything. Even an almost 15 year old had a great time! Highly recommend a visit

Great safe play and adventure park for young children. No cars to worry about. And much cheaper day than the nearby Drucillas

Our family group consisting of 2 adults and 5 children - ages ranging from 5 to 13 had a brilliant day at Knockhatch. There was such a large selection of activities that kept the children entertained from 10am until 5pm (they would have continued if they could). The park was clean and very well organised.

We've passed Knock Hatch many times on our way out of Eastbourne and thought we'd try it as a birthday treat for our 8 year old grandson. On one of the hottest days this summer his parents, 11 year old brother and 2 grandparents spent a day filled with activities we all enjoyed. Starting with the go karts, then on to the rowing lake which was a huge success, the water slide, then mini golf before lunch. The only down side was the 1 hour wait in the searing heat for a turn on the climbing wall. It was poorly organised and like the go karts should be timed. Our 2 climbed twice in 10 minutes whereas others never even got 1/2 way up and were allowed 20 minutes. We would give it a miss next time. On a super hot day the splash pools and then the Lost Kingdom Slides were a great way to round off a memorable day. Didn't have time for lots of things so we will definitely return and make another day out with our 2 younger grandchildren. It was a nice touch that water bottles could be filled free and that picnic areas were readily available in the shade. Although we brought a picnic drinks and ice cream were reasonably priced. A much better option that the over priced Drusilla's just a bit further down the road. Make sure you buy tickets online at least 24 hours ahead of the visit.

Went on a Friday, inset day for our kids so quieter than usual I suspect. But kids enjoyed feeding the animals, massive water slide that possibly scared me more than them. Barrell ride was great, and as quiet sure we went on additional laps.
Lots of indoor play if it rained too, already recommended to friends and family

my first visit to this little hidden gem in sussex and was not disappointed , fantastic fun for all ages and we spent over 5 hrs there . plenty for the kids to enjoy and could not recommend it enough . staff were helpful and nothing was over priced as it can be in some of these places . fantastic facilities and all areas were clean and tidy and a huge picnic area also , well worth a visit

Visited here with our 5 year old grandson last week, but suitable for all ages. What a great place there was so much to do.Animals,rowing boats,slides,crazy golf and dinosaurs to name a few and if the weather's nice bring swimming stuff because there's a lovely paddling pool.We took a picnic but plenty of nice reasonably priced food outlets. We booked online the day before and was less than £30 for all of us (high season) cheaper at different times of the year, it's a little more if you pay on the day,but still great value for money. We were there for most of the day and still didn't do everything, will definitely go back highly recommend.

Knockhatch just gets better and better. There is so much to do for all ages and once you have paid the entrance fee you can easily spend a day without costing too much. The lost world attraction is really good both adults and children in my family had fun on the slides. The paddling pool has been updated since my last visit and is perfect for the kids to cool off on a hot day.
Lots of animals to see with some animal shows to watch. We took a picnic and was here from 10-5 as there is so much to do.

Plenty to do from walking around seeing the animals to experiencing the rides and slides.
What I liked about Knockhatch is that the children had to climb up to the slides etc instead of everything being automated. That being said, some of the slides were very steep, being virtually a sheer drop for the first 2m. The water slide was very popular on the hot day we visited. There was also a paddling pool for younger children.
There were extra rides that cost on top of the entry price. We did the bungee trampoline which cost £3 per person. There was also wall climbing and go karts.
It was a nice change because we didn’t feel we were being ripped off with the price. It was very fair.
There is a cafe in site but there are also plenty of designated picnic areas.
We took a picnic, change of clothes if children got wet. Maybe a good idea to take swimming costumes.
A good day out, reasonably priced.

Fantastic day out for the whole family, lots to do and the owl show is great. Good facilities and picnic areas. All added extras very reasonably priced.

We were staying in camber sands for the week and happened upon knockhatch for a day out and we're so glad we went with it. Incredible value for money. We were there for five and a half hours with 4 kiddies and still didn't manage to do all of the park. Kids loved every minute, especially the dinosaur themed indoor play and the splash Park. All the staff were very friendly and I don't think I saw one bit of rubbish about the place. Everything was so clean and tidy and the park was such good quality.

If we lived close by we'd definitely have a season ticket! Must go here if you want a good day out.

We were looking for a wind-down day while visiting the UK after a week of go-go-go and found a leaflet for Knockhatch. We visited during the heatwave in July 2018 and were expecting it to be unbearable. But no! There's lots of stuff for younger kids to do (my 7 year old was entertained all day) from the wave runner (BRILLIANT slide!) to the bungeed trampolines to the slides in the dinosaur barn (insane slides!), we all had a good day out.

Good value for money to...I can't remember the entrance fee but it didn't seem expensive for what we got to do. Def recommend a visit.

Top place . A gem. Clean no litter and great friendly staff . Mention Joe in the chicken run barn .Staff member of the day . A credit to you.
Great rides and adventures.
The Dino shed is just great .dont know any where as good .

Had an absolutely fantastic time here today. We visited as a family of four with two children aged 8 and 7. We had a lovely time. The park itself is extremely clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Along with the animals there are lots of other bits to do as well - rides, rowing boats, runaway train simulator ride, water ride, splash park, lots of kids play areas including 2 indoor play areas, one dinosaur themed with drop slides.

The staff are an asset. The young man who ran the owl display was so knowledgeable and was happy to answer lots of questions and explain the hunting behaviours etc of the Siberian Eagle Owl, who today managed to take the glove off the keeper! This was very interesting.

The staff who ran the animal encounters were fantastic, particularly the man this afternoon who was so good with our girls and slowly worked with them to help them hold a tarantula - both are petrified of spiders!

A fantastic range of activities available.

The only negative of our visit today was the extremely long wait we had for the rowing boats; in excess of 1 1/2 hours! Whilst there were plenty of boats free and seemingly plenty of room on the large lake for these, they were left on the bank. At one time there were 6 boats that came in at the same time but the young lady had not sorted anyone’s life jackets so there was considerable delay getting the boats back out again. Very poorly ran and no organisation at all! It was quite frustrating that because of this we missed the outdoor owl
show which was such a shame. Before visiting today I hadn’t had much interest in owls however the staff were so passionate about them and enabled us to get up close to them that I now have a new found love.

Would highly recommend this park.

Tips: Do the rowing boats and water ride early first or last thing as there are limited queues. Plenty of places to stop and eat a picnic. Animal food is only 50p. Look online in advance at the payable activities so you can buy these tickets on entry - Go karts, climbing wall? Bungee trampolines etc

What a fantastic day!, It was my grand daughters 8th birthday so we decided for my wife and grand daughter to do the meerkat experience and what a day it turned out to be made special by Owen and the guys with the animals. We had a whole day in the park which my grand daughter loved with all the things to see and do so the day just swept by. We ate in the hungry toad cafe and found this to be really good value for money and really good quality so if you visit don't bother bringing a picnic you won't need it!
All in all a fantastic great value really enjoyable day out for all the family.

Live around the corner from here so go often we are so lucky to live so near
We had a Great day on Friday
lots to see and do love the new dinosaur bit is amazing the whole park has enough to do to keep the family amused all day x

Took my 3 year old grandson and he loved it, especially the dinosaur play barn and the boating lake. The staff are very friendly and helpful, particularly the young chap who looks after Peppa pig and the goats. Recommended!

From the great discount for booking online the day before to The friendly and helpful staff this was a great day out. It’s refreshing when a venue doesn’t overpromise and then underdeliver, Knockhatch does quite the opposite. I’ve lived in the area for 7 years and never been before - how annoying.
Love it how much is included in the price, especially crazy golf, and even the go karts were good value if booked before.
Drinks and food refreshingly well priced and clean and polite restaurants.
Well done to all staff and management.

I have my family from America visiting with five grandchildren ages 5 to 14. We had an amazing day at Knockhatch, there is so much to do there. We actually didn’t get round everything at all, and I don’t live close by so we are not able to go back, but would love to visit again had it been possible. There are lots of small animal things for the younger children to take an interest in, as well special events during the day like owl demonstrations and feeding and learning about the meerkats. The paddling pool was great for the younger ones, so do take a swimsuit and towel.
There are some things which you have to pay extra for, like the go karts (great for the older ones) and trampoline bungee jumping, which is a shame as all inclusive would be better. That said, everyone loved them. The indoor and outdoor playgrounds were fantastic, and the water slides brilliant fun. Lots of picnic areas, lots of helpful young staff and very clean. All in all a great day out!
