I went as part of Young Adults Carers to Amazon Adventures for quad biking. The staff immediately made us feel welcome. Half of us as there was a big group did archery whilst the others quad biked. Everyone had a brilliant time quad biking and will definitely be coming back. The staff had excellent knowledge of the bikes, explaining with ease how to use them.
They sell burgers and drinks too so you can have a snack as well.

Absolutely brilliant adventure park with loads to do. The kids were kept busy on the bouncy pillows and the water slides

We went as 4 families and had a good day, 18 of us in total. We ate at the froggies soft plat and the food was well cooked and not badly priced. The water slide was good but our kids were all too young. (didnt stop the adults though).
Only bad bits was the splash area was just a small paddling poor, kids were board in 2 min. Also parking was a bit chaotic, we were not told where to park then a guy came out and tolds the whole row to move!

Really good day out with two girls ages 6 and 10. Not too pricey and a whole day of fun outdoors, would definitely recommend!

Until the birth of our son we had never been, although having lived in Hailsham for several years. However now we go at least once a month and have an annual membership! Our little boy is now 20 months and Knockhatch is perfect for him as he can run around safely and loves looking at and stroking the animals. We can then head to the soft play (Froggies) or the new cannon arena (Fox run) where he can burn off even more energy.

There are some great displays and the staff working directly with the animals are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, in particular the staff working with the Owls, which are my son's favourite.

Wet days mean that you can still play inside and some of the displays are inside too.

Depending on the time of the year some of the park is closed but for my little one this is not a problem as that section is too 'big' for him, although he will contest this. We regularly spend about 4 hours at the park including a picnic.

Food, drink and ice cream available and personally I think at a reasonable price.

At last, an adventure park where the price reflects what you get! Really excellent facilities, staff super friendly and attentive, plenty to do.

Ok it's not a big park offering thrills and spills but it is a park offering animals, small rides, crazy golf, supersized bouncing pillows, play-park, water-slides, and rowing boats.... all for a very reasonable entry price.

I went with 4 children aged 12 years and 9 years, everyone had a happy day!

This is a great adventure park. Grandchildren had a lot of fun. Staff are great and helpful. Just out side Hailsham on the Hailsham bypass off of the Diplock roundabout. There are eaterys and ice creams. But you can also do picnics. Water slide. Go carting, boating crazy golf. Plenty of free parking. Book on line it's also cheaper. Enjoy

The park is lovely and the staff are interactive. They are very knowledgeable and professional.
However, there's not much for older children. Only a water slide and go carts. (And lots of animals if they like that!)
If you use Tesco clubcard days out vouchers then it's a good deal, but some things are extra. The go carts are extra so if you have teenagers then it's probably cheaper to go to a go carting place! It's not worth the entry cost to just slide down a water slide!
Great if your children are younger, indoor play area, paddling pool, bouncy pillow things (like a long flat bouncy castle), small vehicles, diggers etc.
My 14 year old and 13 year old daughters were bored.
My son is 10 and he went go carting, (which was extra cost) which he loved but then was bored.
Unless the older children like animals and wildlife then it's not very exciting!
But with the days out vouchers it's worth a visit.
If your children are under 10 then it's fab!

This place is just amazing.....a slice of heavenly pleasure. It's an absolute must for a great fun day for the family. It's now an owl sanctuary to and it has lots of animals for the children to interact with, from reindeer,cows, horses, pigs, donkey's and so much more.....even tarantulas (not for me)!!!! Lol

Lots to do in the park, soft play, animals, water slide, rowing boats, play areas etc. Good value as we spent 6 hours there going from one activity to another. We camped at the site next door which was great value for money with helpful staff. Highly recommended.

It's a fairly long drive off the Hailsham roundabout but it's worth the effort. The costs are not too high £28 for three people and the extras reasonable. Stayed from 11.00 to 17.30 and could have stayed longer. The go carts were the favourite bit but the children also learnt to row on the lake.
Food outlets and picnic areas available.
A highly recommended attraction for a day out for active children, aged 9 and 11.

This has got to rank as one of the best days we as a family of four have had in the recent years - before you commit PLEASE look at their website & check what attractions are open to avoid disappointment. We visited in August & had a blast all day. Our teenagers went on the Bungee Tramploine, Go-Karts (as did I), the Laser Game - these I all prebooked (at a small cost each) with the laser game the only one requiring a pre-arranged timeslot on arrival. We also attacked the crazy golf, jumping pillows, the water slide (soaked my backside) & we fell about laughing on the boating lake after rowing straight into the trees!

Knockhatch caters for all ages & it's a great day out - not so good in the rain though in my opinion. We will definitely be going back again next year during the summer break & the staff are all so polite & helpful!

Just Do It!!

Visited for the first time it's a lovely park with lots to keep the children entertained we stayed pretty much all day.
Would advise booking in advance or using cash or Tesco tokens for a faster entrance.

The animal area is fab and you have a chance to feed them if you buy the food at the entrance gate. My daughter loved the up close encounters and got to hold a snake.

The birds of prey show is worth a watch. Special mention to a young man I think named Owen who was very knowledgeable when we spoke to him about the owls. He also went the extra mile when people took pictures to make sure they got nice ones and was great with the kids he clearly had a great bond with the birds too.

My daughter loves the water slide and demon drop it does get busy at the peak of day but no where near as bad as other big theme parks. Just make sure you check before you go as in low season not all attractions are open.

We took a picnic which was no bother lots of seating or lots of space on the grass in the big adventure playground.

There are additional activities which you can pay for my daughter did rock climbing which she really enjoyed.

Knockhatch is a wonderful place to go with the family lots to see and do for children.
It's well priced and very clean.
The animals are lovely and the food yummy.
Only thing I would say is the indoors toilets are disgusting and needs major update men and women should have there own toilets.
Was told by a young girl at the shop there was an age limit on the go carts but when we got there the man said any age could go on so we went back to get a ticket only to be told we couldn't have one as children was too young when there was little children riding them which made us cross.
It would good if pets corner and the bike ride was open at all times the queues was massive for this and we didn't wait.
Also the rubber that's on the ground by the bouncy pillows needs changing to something softer on your feet.

I hate places like this, but as long as the children are happy, I'm happy. We've had some successful birthday visits in October but today, bang in the middle of the summer, it was just too busy. My older child, who has autism, couldn't cope with the crowds and ended up going back to the car. If you have a child who is sensitive to noise and crowds, be warned. If you're child is more of a knockabout type who loves rides and doesn't get freaked out by queuing, then it's absolutely fine.

We prepaid and looked forward to entry without delays as promised. Not to be as we were met with organised chaos and it took about 30 minutes to get in but ironically, those who had not pre booked got in a lot quicker. This was because the girl on the pre booked counter was involved in helping in the shop. Apart from this initial set back all went well until we queued for coffee and snacks in Froggies where again the management decision to have insufficient space at the ordering/pay point created a bottleneck. The service counter is far too small and cluttered to serve about 50+ tables. We fully expected to wait for some services and walked away from the boating lake and train simulator but where we were able to get to rides they were well worth it. The animals looked very healthy and thrilled the younger visitor especially.

Overall Knockhatch is well worth a visit and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Decent quality day out, family fun, visit and feed the farm animals always fun, the lambs or the lamas will scoff the food right out of your hand, there's all kinds of birds, rabbits, meerkats and all. The bird of prey demonstrations are great if that's you thing, you'll love it.

Adventure wise, the play area is pretty good, but watch out, as with the climbing wall and water slide it's only open on orange days, basically peak time.

Food is available but my advice would be to take a picnic, there are loads of pleasant spots.

Free mini golf is good, not a great course, but included in the admission price so can't complain

Jumping beds get massively busy but will keep them amused for a time.

There's a simulator ride and some play areas which are again free so well worth while.

You'll pay extra for bungee trampolines, laser shooting, karts and climbing wall, but at £2/3 it's not too steep.

Top tip, head for the boating lake early to avoid the dreaded queues, if you get into the park at 10:00, head for the boats and get straight on, otherwise expect to wait for 1 hour, (maybe more!), there is no time limit on the boats, even when busy so waiting times can be horrendous.

There can be queues for karts, bungee tramps and climbing so factor these times in you day.

There are some indoor play areas and adjoining cafes which are a godsend if your caught in a shower or indeed need to take shelter from the burning sun, or simply pop in for a drinks break

You have to book all extras at the point of entry, so consider planning who wants what and when or face trips back and forth to the entrance points to book activities.

As with many attractions book online to save cash on entrance fees.

These days £30 for a family day out is pretty good, allow another £15/20 for the activities, but on a fine day this is a great attraction.

Toilets facilities nice and clean, though the park would benefit to have more of them dotted about

All in all, pretty good value day out for families with kids under 9, though kids up to about 14 will find something of interest.

To start with I was really pleased with how easy it was to buy tickets online, but then when I started to queue in the prepaid section this process quickly declined.

The queue took longer than the "pay on the day" queue and took a good 30-45 mins to get in. Once in I could see why - one till to process everyone's booking and large groups, gift shop purchases and snacks. Surely it's worth the outlay of a second till?

It might seem a bit whiny, but by the time we got in we were all a bit disgruntled and tried to keep our toddler engaged.

There is plenty to see and do but today was so busy we ended up missing out on anything that had separate queues - the boat trip didn't move in 15 minutes of queuing.

The grounds are great and I can imagine on a quieter day it would be better, but surely a sunny day in summer holiday period should result in additional staff?

Visited knock hatch adventure park today with my husband and 3 children, brought tickets online, had the BEST time there! Shame we didn't have more time there, arrived at 11.30am and really didn't want to leave. So much to do and see!
We all really enjoyed the massive pillow jumping cushions, adventure playgrounds, climbing wall, train simulator ride, wave runner, rowing boat lake, 2 x owl shows, very reasonably priced ice creams..trampolines, caterpillar train ride..
Was a bit dispointed that there was no small animals to hold or stroke as we went to go the animal encounters show at 4-4.30 and it was closed..
All in all, highly highly recommended, would love to go back again.

We have today visited knock hatch . We arrived at 10 and left just before it closed at 5.30. We booked our tickets on line which saved us 20% on the cost of tickets. There were 8 people in our party the youngest being 7 and the oldest 61. We have had a fantastic day with something for everyone. There were plenty of activities to do which were free as well as activities that were at a reasonable price. You can take a picnic and have it in almost any where in the park or you can have cooked food at very reasonable prices and delicious to eat. We found the staff to be very helpful and informative with any of the activities that we did. In all we had a fantastic day with amazing weather and will certainly be visiting again. Thank you knockhatch for a wonderful day.

What a fantastic family day out. Something for all ages. From the kids enjoying all the animal petting opportunities, to minikarting, quadrapilla, bouncy pillow and multiple indoor and outdoor play areas, to the older kids (adults) enjoying the go-karts, waterslide and rowing boats. The owl display was brilliant.

What really made our day though was the wonderful staff, each and every one we had the pleasure of dealing with was friendly and helpful. From those entertaining the kids, to the informative animal handlers, and all those in the shops/stands. They were all amazing. Thank you for making the day.

If you haven't guessed it already this place is awesome! If I could give 6 stars I would!

Had a great time with the family, but be prepared, there are some extras to pay for and queues can be long at times, especially for the boats
