Variety for kids
Took the kids for a day out here, paid to park which is annoying however more and more places seem to be doing this. There was plenty to keep the kids occupied they loved the water area the best. The museum further round is free which adds something else to the day. The rides require tokens that you buy and are loaded onto a card it’s not bad value for money and the kids enjoyed it. Overall a good day out especially when the weather is Sunny.
Absolutely fantastic
Well, I really do not know where to begin!
We booked the Santa express 20/12/2021 not knowing what to really expect. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Such a wonderful experience for children and adults! It was none stop all day with rides, snow globe, golf, Train ride to the grotto then a lovely Christmas teddy for the children.
The show in the workshops was brilliant.
We will be definitely returning next year. Thank you
Would definitely recommend
What a magical experience it was to go on the santa express train with my 2 year old grandaughter , the park was well managed so it wasn't busy, no queuing for the rides ,and the staff were amazing with the children ,so polite and helpful, the snow machine was a favourite making it extra special
Magical
The Santa experience was so magical.
Already can’t wait to rebook for next year. The Santa, elf’s, ride operators just everything about it was fantastic, we went to brigg garden centre the day before and was so disappointed at how the elves and Santa lacked the Christmas enthusiasm. We came here and was completely blown away with how interactive, amusing and entertaining everyone was. Completely magical for all the family.
Just brilliant 🤩
Great family day out
Fantastic Day out! We've just visited the Christmas experience and trip on the santa express to his work shop and I couldn't believe how amazing the whole thing was! Out standing and a credit to them! Such a magical experience the kids won't stop talking about it...the whole family enjoyed it and we can't recommend this place enough, they even had snow machines in the fun park!, The rides was fabulous & the mini golf was also fun to play...
Fantastic full day of Christmas family fun
Been to the Christmas Experience yesterday. It was fantastic. Unlimited rides and crazy golf. Trip to Santa's workshop on a land train and a santa Teddy bear. Staff lovely and friendly. Fantastic snow globe we went in and had pictures taken. Highly recommended this to anyone. 10 out of 10
Get booking the Santa experience. Truly magical.
Fantastic day at the funfair. We arrived with 2 young children and had a truly fabulous day.
The new Santa experience is amazing. I cannot rate highly enough and will definitely return. We travelled 1.5 hours to get here and it was 100% worth it.
Good rides and pleasant staff.
Still going strong
We always love a visit to Clifton but this was our first visit with two children. As always we had a great time. There was plenty to amuse both the toddler and big kid. We were also lucky enough with the weather that we could have a picnic.
We were happy to find we still had credits on our card for the fun fair from our last visit several years ago.
Brilliant place for little money!
You really can have a whole day here without spending a penny.
There is a big sand pit, park area, skate park, excellent splash area and plenty of green space for a picnic and to play games.
Toilets could have been better but it was a busy day.
There was a food stall selling hotdogs, drinks and stuff...
Excellent
Amazing place.... one of the grabbers was broken my son been wanting a Fortnite llama out of one and worker named Jay saw that he was so upset and gave him one for free!!!! Now he definitely more than over the moon Thankyou so much you have made his day and mine, he was in tears of happiness Thankyou again..... get your self down everyone 👍🏼
Good cheap day out
Another great day at clifton park usually go once a year and never been let down yet. Rides still as cheap as ever and hardly ever have to que which helps when with young children, Outdoor park busy but big enough, Didnt play crazy golf as was so much to do else where, Parking £3 for 3 hours seemed fair too, Will definitely be back next year. water fountains not working at the moment due to covid 19
