This is a wonderful place to spend a day. There is something for everyone. A fair and many side attractions, most of which are included in the entry price. A Britain in the blitz museum, a Victorian village a garden centre and much much more. Check out leaflets and local papers for special entry offers. It's a great day to... More

Rides were ok. Think they could maybe invest in something new? Price is expensive really. We got a deal and it is still quite highly priced. Would recommend taking your own drinks in. Was a nice day and we made use of the tickets, but not sure if would ever fork out full price.

Havent been for 13years and was really looking forward to it. Very expensive for a day out with the family, thought it was looking very tired and to be honest needed a good clean. Needs a freshen up. The water in the ladybird rides was filthy. It was quite quiet for a day in the summer holidays and to be... More

We've been to flambards a few times now. We tend to go during August for the fire-works. (I LOVE fire-works!) We have 4 kids age 19 - 11 and started going when the eldest was about 14. It is NOT Disney, nor is it Alton Towers or any other all singing all dancing, spin till you drop Theme Park. It... More

I've been to many theme parks and this one is average in comparison to many others. it is targeted at children and familys but compered to many family targeted attractions this is missing something. i think a lick of paint and some refurbishment would probably help things. expect many hit and miss moments and elements you will enjoy. BUT DO... More

We visited with our 4yr old whose 102cm. His entry fee was the child's price as over 90cm but because he was under 110cm there were many rides he couldn't go on. The rides he could go on were dated but he enjoyed them. The Victorian Village was better than expected. Very visually educational. The Blitz area was interesting. Many... More

Dear Lou181818 Thank you for your post. Flambards felt that it should respond to some of your comments as they are not entirely accurate. All of our rides at our park have independent safety restrictions and many of which do have a minimum height of 110cm if the child rides solo. However children under this height can ride as long...

We went with 3 kids in tow, primarily for the rides, but it was the exhibits which proved to be the best. Having heard about Flambards and their victorian and war displays for a very long time, this was our first visit. I thought the exhibits would be tired and small....i was very wrong, they were excellent and for the... More
