There are several fairs are held in the Pavilion Gardens such as the Fine Food Fairs, Farmers' Markets, Art & Craft Fairs, Antique Fairs, etc. Also the tourism information center is there.

As the website and the entrance signs say - Pavilion Gardens is a 'great free family day out.'…read more This historic park is situated in the centre of Buxton and is constantly full of locals walking dogs or taking their children out to play as well as a variety of tourists, from families on a day out, cyclists taking a short break to photographers and artists wanting to capture a slice of nature. There is a pay and display car park at one side of the gardens, however as it is centrally located you can easily walk to it from most hotels and the town centre. For tourists new to the area, there is a Tourist Information Centre which will provide you with lots of information about Buxton and the surrounding Peak District area. Hundred of events are held within the gardens over the year, mainly located in the Octagon Hall. These included farmers markets and fetes etc. during my visit a few weekends ago there was an Art based festival taking place where clothing, photographs, jewellery, furniture and other art works were being displayed and some offered for sale. For those searching for a little more fun suitable for the younger generations, there is a large park fully equipped with swings and slides as well as a miniature train which offers rides around one section of the park. If you're wanting to stop for a short refreshment break there are plenty of places to pick from, including outside and inside cafes serving both hot and cold food as well as ice creams. On my next trip to Buxton I will definitely be heading back here as there was plenty of things I didn't get to see.

I had a great time here with my adult cousins and brother. Definitely not for children but I…read morebelieve that is explained before you can reserve a time. There are different food experiences before or after you golf. On the day we visited only one option was available. I ordered the Korean bbq fries and I was beyond happy. They were delicious. It was such a healthy portion I couldn't finish. I lost at mini golf. My first time but I really sucked while having a great time.

My experience here was truly unforgettable. We went here after Birdie's, there was a bit of a wait…read morewhich is not surprising since we went at 10:30 on a Friday night. We got a drink while we were waiting, I got the Barbie tingz and it was absolutely delicious. The entire environment was a blast. Most everything is black light lit in a darker warehouse kind of building. Each room has a different theme from a sex hole (with actual dildos on the green), to a murder room with creepy dolls and "blood" on the walls, to a classroom or a kitchen. I could not have been happier with the experience. I would HIGHLY recommend going here to anyone in the area, I would bet there's no way you wouldn't find it fun.

What a fantastic day out!…read more My niece and nephew absolutely loved this place. A dark, indoor pirate-themed crazy golf course which is perfect for kids and adults alike. It's around £5 per player for the 12 hole course and most definitely worth it. Some of the holes are really challenging but so much fun to play! Pirate themed music plays throughout too! I had originally taken the kids here to keep them entertained but ended up having a blast myself :)

Defo worth a visit if you like crazy golf not all easy either some quite challenging holes, plenty…read moregiggles going round the course.

This 2 star rating is a real shame but I feel short changed after coming here…read more The entrance looks so exciting and brilliant and it looks like you have the course to yourselves. How wrong could we be! You end queing endlessly for holes, which aren't particularly hard or exciting. Its less adventure course and more boring course than anything. We didn't come with a voucher, after finding one afterwards which annoyed me as I forked out £16 to play some boring golf and queue. Make the course harder/bigger/ more interesting and less queuing please! Unfortunately wouldn't come here again:(

This is actually really good fun…read more Recently opened in The Trafford Centre, Paradise Island is an indoor crazy golf centre! Featuring two different courses, this is a fun place to take the kids but also good fun for a staff night out as we found out when we wandered along to it for a fun evening! It's not dead expensive (£7 per adult, £5 per child) and you get a discount if you're in a group. The courses are set out really well, some of the holes are quite challenging and it can get quite embarrassing when you're on your 15th shot and there's a queue of six other groups behind you...was that just me?! Oh right...! The novelty theme is very well played out throughout the entire place and the decor is fantastic. It's the sort of place you can kinda of go to with anyone, dads would love it, kids love it, it's a good place to go for a date (no really it is!) and we had a right laugh when I went with work! It's funny to see how competitive men get whilst playing...hehehe!

The quaint little town is absolutely lovely, and is well worth a visit from Manchester. If you do visit, make sure this park is on your list of places to visit. Its absolutely lovely, and has everything from nice green spaces for picnics and flower beds, a pitch and putt mini golf course, tennis courts, a skate park, a bowling green, a kids paddling pool and swimming area, a kids adventure playground, a Victorian band stand, a lake with boats, and a cafe, and an ice cream shop. Its even got a tiny little train that runs through the park, that kinds can sit on! So whether you want a quiet stroll, a picnic, a motor boat ride on the lake, a lovely cup of coffee or a whole day out with the family full of entertainment, then this is the place for you. This is categorically my favorite park. Five stars.

This place has a pitch and putt that is super fun! And just $5 ea! It's great for all ages and abilities. The greens are artificial, so temper your expectations, but you still have to hit creative shots! The best thing about this place is the staff! the pro shop guys are unreal friendly and they make it fun and accessible for everyone! They will give you free rental clubs and free balls for the pitch and putt. I've been playing fir about 30 years and have never met a better staff. They took care of us, even though we weren't locals, they treated us so good. It really made our trip. The previous day we went to riyal Liverpool for the 151st open championship(amazing!!!), but we got absolutely drenched. This was a great way to end the trip. And just 7 pounds for 100 balls, great prices!

The driving range is good (although some bays do lack tee's) and the pro-shop is well stocked. However the gem of this whole place is the 9 hole pitch and putt course. It is set out like a mini championship course with proper doglegged holes, bunkers, water, everything!
