15-inch narrow-gauge steam railway to Shelley Station, plus unlimited access to The Clayton Flyer miniature railway, crazy golf, pedal cars, adventure playgrounds, a jumping pillow, and indoor play - all on one all-inclusive admission.

โœ“ All-inclusive admissionโœ“ Steam train through countrysideโœ“ Crazy golf includedโœ“ Jumping pillowโœ“ Great for mixed agesโœ“ Themed event days

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children aged two to twelve who want an activity-dense day without constant add-on charges. The all-inclusive pricing removes the friction of constant budgeting mid-visit, and four-plus hours is achievable before children exhaust the options. Pack layers - the railway tunnel gets noticeably cold even on warm days.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กPack layers - the steam train tunnel is cold regardless of outside temperature
โฐFree large car park on site
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธPlan for at least four hours to cover the railway, golf, karts, pillow, and indoor play

โ€œGreat place to visit for a day. We went on a Thomas day so lots of extras on. Loved the fact everything is included, not having to constantly pay out for the kids to go on the trains, karts, golf, bouncing, face painting and other activities is such a breath of fresh air.โ€

โ€œHad a perfect day here last weekend. Great parking, lovely staff. Not too expensive and plenty of toilets for little ones. Really enjoyed the train ride and the park / air pillow was great. Will definitely be back.โ€

โ€œThis was a great family fun day out, fairly priced and some fun activities for children of all ages, the crazy golf course was easily accessible and included within the price of park entry, friendly staff. The only downside would be that there was only 2 magnets to choose from which weren't really relevant to the park. Would recommend more magnets with the parks name on.โ€
