I cannot believe how fantastic, friendly and kind all the staff were. There is a big carpark, you need to prebook as the only entry to the park is via train which only leaves at certain times of the day. Dogs are welcomed in every part of the park, including indoors, once in there are no additional fees for activities except 1 ride on Thomas! Would really recommend, a fantastic day out for you and the kids.

Brilliant find. So much to do and all included in the price. The park is geared towards little ones. Everything is sign posted really well and explained clearly. All the staff we came across were super friendly and helpful. Special mention to the man on the pedalo who was super respectful helping an elder member of our group into the boat as well as making sure our youngest member was captain! Can't recommend this day out enough.

A fantastic festive day out! We took our 4-year-old daughter to see Santa and she loved every second. Between the nostalgic train rides, the meeting with Santa, indoor play at the Engine Shed, and outdoor activities like Digger Pit, swings to name a couple. There was so much to keep her entertained. The staff were lovely and made sure everything felt special. A great value Christmas event for anyone in or visiting Newquay.
