Visited here passing through with the family, we went to Dino Islands golf adventure. The gardens are situated right next to a large pay by phone car/coach park. And is a short stroll from the sea front. As far as crazy golf goes, it's not a bad 18 hole course. Took 45mins as a family of four and we had a lot of fun and laughter going round. A family ticket (two adults, two children) cost £30 (no deposit for clubs) and they supply you with a score card and pen too. If you are an island resident you do get diacounts here. And there are also discounts and all inclusive tickets for multiple activites at Sandham gardens. I don't rate the toilets much, they arent the cleanest and in need of a refresh.

Lots to do here, have personally only played the mini golf which is excellent snd has all been re-done in the last few years. It is on the pricey side, but worth the fun! They have redone the park and gocart area too.

A decent spot with a few fun activities, but overall quite pricey for what you get and not somewhere we would rush back to. We visited Sandham Gardens with the kids and while there are some good bits, it did not quite hit the mark for us overall. The climbing nets were the main attraction but for the price it felt quite limited. The slides were also not great, more awkward and uncomfortable than fun, which took away from the experience. Our boys enjoyed it for about 90 minutes but then got a bit bored as it is quite repetitive, and with a two hour limit it does feel expensive for the time you get. Cost was the biggest downside. It was £30 for just the two kids on the nets and another £30 if adults wanted to join in, plus around £6 to £7 for parking on top. There are bundle deals if you add go karting and mini golf, but even then you are looking at around £88 for a family of four for a few hours which feels quite steep. It would be great if parking was included or discounted, or if there were better family or sibling rates to make it feel more accessible. There are some positives. The go karts looked good and we would probably try those again, and there is a small park, football space and skatepark nearby which are nice but also free to use anyway. Overall we would probably rate it around a 3 out of 5. It is worth a visit if you are nearby and know what to expect, but it is not something we would prioritise on our next Isle of Wight trip.

We had an incredible time there. It is great for the kids, and it is a really good way to burn off some energy. Staff were friendly and helpful. We first went to go karts, we played in sky nets and finally crazy golf and were very enjoyable. We stayed about 3h and half there. Was a really fun day out.
