When we arrived with my 3 year old I was initially concerned about the size of it. It's rather small and we didn't think we'd be there long. But it's VERY misleading! There's lots of animals, they give you plenty of food (if you purchase some you get a bucket rather than a tiny paper bag), and there's regular talks and petting opportunities as well. There's a good sized playground and a bouncy pillow as well as a big sandpit. Alongside the alpacas and llamas, there are sheep, goats, ferrets, birds, tortoises, rabbits, guinea pigs, marmosets, and ponies, and some reptiles in the shop entrance. We spent about an hour and a half with my son feeding and stroking all the animals, another 30 minutes at the playground and bouncy pillow, and just under an hour for a late lunch in the cafe which is also fantastic. We paid about £22 for three meals and drinks and one of us had the adults burger which we didn't expect to have two burgers in, another had the cooked breakfast which was big and very filling, and the 3 year old had the kids burger which seemed like a single decker adults burger! It was really good too and the ladies in the cafe couldn't do enough for us!

Good but could do with a good tidy up in certain areas

It's hard to understand why so many lives are gone, seeing thousands of names stamped on the white stone walls caused me a reflection that I will never forget.
To visit this immense memorial is to better understand the meaning of life.

Attractive, interesting, well kept and welcoming to all. We took our two dogs and we were greeted with water and biscuits by different staff. It really is a lovely day out and requires several hours to see it all. We walked, a lot! However there are land trains and golf buggy’s with guides for those that can’t. Wish I’d known you get cheaper parking if you pre-book. Free entry however.
Cafe is lovely. Suitable day out for all ages, with childrens and family trails (Stick man/Clue solving). We had commonwealth sports activities there too when we went. (Archery/Volleyball etc)
My only criticism is I feel all visitors should receive a map with every memorial marked on it. We were looking for 4 specific ones and couldn’t find them easily. We walked all round but there are hundreds and you struggle to see them all. We managed to ask guides as they drove past us in golf buggy’s, but every time, we found we were at opposite sides of the arboretum to where we needed to be. It’s a huge place!!!! Great workout for us and the dogs though.

We had a lovely day here. It was supposed to be a summer family outing with a picnic and it was absolutely freezing (bad luck!). We still had our picnic in our macs! A lovely, calm (enormous!) space with so much to take in. We went as a family of 6 adults, 1 toddler and 1 newborn. There were loads of benches to stop and rest, the memorials are beautiful, my two year old loved the sensory garden and the commonwealth games zone set up for the Summer. She didn't go on the main play area as it was mainly for older children. Her Grandpa enjoyed taking in the memorials whilst she romped around as a toddler should (so much open space). Her favourite time was the 45 minutes she spent rolling up and down the grass banks, which charmed passers by on the train and on foot. The war memorial was also beautiful and so impressive.
The only criticism was we were disappointed with the stick man trail as we thought there would be sculptures all the way round (like the Gruffalo and Superworm trails at other places). This meant it wasn't so toddler friendly as she couldn't read the big information boards and they just weren't as interesting for her. However, she loved the Stick Man sculpture. Overall, a lovely day well spent!
