Went here last August, was a fab day. Lots to do for all ages but found there was a lot of walking from one area to another for the larger white knuckle rides. Def take a buggy for the younger ones as it is spread out. We ate in the park and was not the greatest of meals, was very... More

Need a few quid if there is a few of you but overall its a good day out. I think those complaining about updates etc.. need to remember where they are. Its not a big city at all. Also I went in the height of summer and queues were minimal. Happily go again.

A group of 4 of us went to Pleasurewood Hills on Saturday, 3 adults and one 4 year old. The excitment from the 4 year old has been building for weeks. After arriving we were met with a board that explained 4 rides were not working, the new ride for 2012 and one of the main roller coasters along with... More

I went with my partner and her 2 teenage children. We got a family ticket which was quite expensive. This allowed unlimited entry on most of the rides (some you still had to pay for) it didn't feel like a proper theme park. More of a fairground attraction. The queues for rides were on par with Alton Towers and the... More

Just awful ! Too expensive and been on rides at the fair that are more fun. Grounds are huge but this is no day out, needs a few million spent on rides and I might return.

Thank you for your recent review of the park. At Pleasurewood Hills we pride ourselves on being one of the cheapest large attractions in the region and the country. At £18 we feel that we offer a value day for the family. Whilst we don't profess to be on par with the likes of Alton Towers in terms of rides... More

Our charity took 100 people to Pleasurewood over Easter. We had a mixture of ages from 1 to 60 and they enjoyed the visit. The weather was not on our side at first but cleared up later. The magic show, parrot show and sea lion show were all great and add to the experience especially if you are not "into"... More

was not very impressed, there were quite a few rides you had to pay extra for once inside the park which we did not know about when buying the tickets, not many big rides more for younger children however the staff were very friendly.

Hi Lisa, Thank you for your recent review of a visit from May last year. During the winter period we have had a £1.5million investment with 5 new rides and attractions as well as landscaping across the entire park and relocation of several rides. I'm happy that you found the staff friendly last year and hope that you will have... More

A mish-mash of rides- no defined sections for babies or adults. Felt like it wasn't done yet. Not very good looking- a bit shabby and rusty. Restaurant by log flume was horrendous- poor portions, poor prices, low staff numbers, long queues, no room, no sauce, dirty tables. The Wipeout roller coaster and log flume were good, as was Sea Lion... More

Dear Nicole, Thank you for your recent comments to Pleasurewood Hills. I'm glad you had a good time on some individual parts of the park; the Wipeout, log flume and sea-lion shows.

We took our boys for the 1st time on holiday, both me and my husband had been years ago and it was still as good as we remembered. Enough for us all to do and keep the boys occupied all day only disappointed was one ride was closed but that was due to weather and safety so understandable. Definitely a... More
