1 / 3Twinlakes Outdoor Waterpark
📍 Melton Mowbray, East Midlands
All-weather family theme park with unlimited rides, water slides, Red Rooster Farm animal encounters, indoor climbing frames, soft play, and train rides. Free parking included.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children aged 3-7 who want a full day of rides and animal encounters without the intensity of larger parks. The indoor play areas are a genuine highlight, and the farm gives a different experience from the rides alone. Avoid peak August school holiday dates if queues are a concern, and bring a packed lunch.

“Its a 'fair' day out for the kids. Theres plenty of land full of things to do to last all day. There are however a lot of areas and equipment that are desperately in need of refurbishment where the fun factor just doesn't exist anymore and you'll walk away thinking what a waist of time. Gift shop is a nice size shop, the contents is weighted very much towards teddy bears and small cheap tac rather than any good quality gifts, toys or souvenirs. Lots of activities and programs throughout the year which is nice. There are 2 huge impressive indoor climbing frames that also contain extra activities such as rope climbing and a small river rapids which has been put together very nicely providing lots of imagination for kids. Seating in the indoor areas is limited and gets full very quickly. The restaurant is just diabolical, offering mainly burgers and chips and a jacket potatoe for the more healthy conscious. I ordered a cheeseburger kids meal for my son which contained a tiny bit of beef and 2 buns. They didnt even remember the cheese. I didn't order a hot dog but im presuming this would be a similar set up, bread with a bit of sausage, no onions, no sauce. I had the adult cheeseburger which again was a small burger with 2 buns and a dropping of grated cheese, didnt taste good at all and was very expensive. You could be queuing for as long as 30 minutes at busy times. Its 1 star for the food im afraid, considering its a family attraction the choice and serving was a disgrace. Definately bring your own food! Overall a 'fair' day out for the kids with a fair and moderate fun factor, nothing too special im afraid.”

“I went here for the first time last week, during the Easter holiday with my son, his wife, and 2 grandchildren aged 3 and 5. I was pleasantly surprised with the number of rides and things to do. It has a lot of greenery and was not noisy. It is suitable for younger families as the rides are generally smaller and less scary than a large theme park. A lovely day out.”
💬 What parents mention
Overview
Twinlakes covers extensive grounds with unlimited ride access, a water park with slides, Red Rooster Farm featuring animal encounters, large indoor soft play and climbing frame areas, and a scenic train ride. Entry covers all rides and the farm. Free parking is available on-site. The park is designed around families with younger children, offering a lower-key alternative to major UK theme parks. On-site food is consistently rated poorly — bringing your own is strongly recommended.
