great fun for the kids, take change of clothes and shoes as they WILL get messy ;-)
set in countryside location it has different assault /activities. really quite basic stuff, no fancy built equiptment, but seems to keep the kids happy.
The problem for me is the price to get in.
It's £7.50 each and £2 parking so for families that have 2 parents needing to take more than 2 children it adds up. I went in a group of 2 adults and 3 children, so cost close to £40.
Most adults who go dont intend to jump in mud or play of the activities, its for the kids, so you basically pay to stand and watch the kids get messy.
Saying that what familiy days out dont cost a fortune anymore?! when you have exhausted all the free things to do in your surrounding areas you are left no choice but to pay for days out that may test the bank balance during the school summer holidays. Personally I think that manley mere should perhaps charge rates for families maybe.
family of 4 £**
family of 5 £** etc
would make it a little more reasonably priced, especially for the adults as we dont really get the same use out of the activities ;-)
3 stars for the place and minus 2 stars for the price or it would have got 4/5 stars. read more
