Nice visit to Fonmon, with their 'Spiderman' special shows today. Easy parking, and clear directions on site. Plenty of picnic spots and play ahead for kids to enjoy. The dinosaurs are fun, with lots of interesting learning notes. The cafe was small but had a good selection of food and drink offerings. Toilets are clean and easy to locate. We all enjoyed the day there, and will definitely go again.

Was really impressed with Fonmon Castle today. Entry prices were fair though it is cheeper to book in advance. Loads to see and do there especially if you like dinosaurs. Was surprised with how empty the place was but no complaints as it ment we was able to wonder as we please. Great place for younger kids. The play areas were well maintained and the staff were very friendly and happy to chat with my preschooler. Would recommend for a good day out. Plenty of picnic spots and the Castle Cafe was good with lots of seating.

Fantastic place for a day out with the family of all ages. The house and gardens itself is stunning, with some beautiful woodland walks. Lovely little cafe/bar at the house, as well as the food courtyard in a central area near all the kids activities. Dinosaurs everywhere, playground, tractor track, foot golf, Frisbee golf, medieval village and stage, as well as the Jurassic dinosaur trail and more nature trails. A great day out.

The perfect place for a day out with family, slow paced exploring, great for dinosaur fans! Lots of learning, seeing and doing to be had. Some of the walks we usually go on was closed off this time, not sure if that's a temporary thing but we love them walks! The burger van there was very reasonably priced and the food was delicious 😋 (Try the halloumi burger!) Lovely little adventure parks too, you can also play foot golf, disc golf, axe throwing, bow and arrow etc for an extra fee. (£2 per person per game I think if worked out as) Oh and the story trail is lovely too! Plenty of parking, toilets are well spaced out on the main grounds, but not so much in the nature walks (which are closed ATM anyway).

My 8 year old daughter loved this place. Her favourite part was exploring the garden, castle, story trail and seeing the dinosaurs so pretty much all of it! The K pop was good too.
