Reviews
"This is a fun interesting place to just walk around and enjoy. We only went to the Glen but they do have the den for the young to enjoy too. Took us roughly two hours to walk around. Very enjoyable"
"Visited with 3 other adults and a 6 and 3 year old. Really enjoyed the Glen.. the nursery rhyme themes and the variety of outside play areas was very good. Also the toilet facilities. The receptionist could have been more customer orientated. 15 min wait to get in to the Den. Table area small and cramped for 6. Food range good with good service. Girls enjoyed the soft play. I liked the slides!"
"It is a good venue for the kids. Inside the den is a huge soft play climbing area . Separate area for the little ones but just as much fun with slides and ball pit. Cafe onsite. During busy times ie weekends +school holiday you can be limited to 90mins. They have a loyalty card for midweek use only. The Glen part is a big outdoor area with character statues from old tales and rhymes , with a few modern ones too. I do think they need to spend some time updating some of it as looks unloved mostly. There is a chicken house with live hens and cockeral. I was surprised to see the statue of ' Old woman who lived in a shoe' there smacking her child ! ( see photo ) Don't think it's appropriate in this day. My son was asking what she was doing to the boy. I wouldn't go back to the Glen outside but will be back to the den inside. Need to pay for adults and children outside Glen but only children inside den."
"Pretty nice place. Big open soft play with chutes, football arena, climbing obstacles and more. There is a crawlers area for little ones and then it progresses to the older kids. Fairly priced and the food is also fine. You get time slots of approx 90 minutes. You should get the loyalty card if you're planning on going a handful of times as the 8th time is free if I can remember right."
"This place gets a lot of stick for the quality of the statues but let's face it, if they were too good they'd get slapped with a lawsuit, so it is what it is. The kids will still love it. The grounds are beautiful and a sun trap. Great for a picnic too. The den is great, letting your little ones burn off extra energy after exploring the grounds. The entry price is very reasonable, especially if visiting the den and the Glen. The food in the cafe is great quality too."
