Bought advanced online tickets for an after 4pm visit so cost... More

Went there for a kids party and it has only three rides and is more or less a glorified playbarn with car driving and a small fairground ride. The tables were not wiped down or cleared quickly enough and so were dirty. The 4d cinema was ok but take a lot of money because they direct you out via the... More

My husband and I took our 3 and a half year old son to LDC this morning. We went prepared after reading some of the reviews and arrived there early to try and avoid the queues. We got there for 10.30 and there was already a queue outside. We had to wait about 25-30mins but this passed quickly especially with... More
