What visitors say
We absolutely love the place. The staff are all amazing! They all look very happy and are so good with the kids! I really like the no nonsense attitude of the staff too! The falconer is very strict but with every need to be! So if you have a little one that can’t sit still then the bird show isn’t for you but my 4 year old loves it. The birds fly very low and close and with speed so it’s very understandable he’s so safety conscious. The birds are amazing! The show is very informative and you can see the falconer loves his birds ❤️ Merlin is brilliant! He’s our favourite part of the day and we made sure we saw both his show! The science show was fantastic and his magic show has made our 4 year old decide she wants to learn magic now, so look out merlin, she’s coming for you next time with her own tricks 😂. We love the amount of things there is to do! Rides, play areas, shows. Definitely a full day out ❤️

Absolutely brilliant. This place has it all and you can easily spend a day there! All of the staff we came across were happy, helpful and great with the kids. The rollercoasters were great. Our 5-year old tried the big one but wasn't keen at all after he got off. Our 2-year old loved the caterpillar one, as did all our other kids. The train ride is lovely and gives a good sense of being on an old steam train. The exhibitions and indoor rides are all super fun, and most of them are accessible even to very young kids (2-years+). There are a few things that your ticket price doesn't include, but honestly, they're not even that exciting and can easily be skipped. There are areas that need a lick of paint or a new carpet but I'd say 90% of this place is well kept and tidy. We didn't have any food so can't comment there - we took a picnic and our own drinks. The highlight for me was the falconry show. The falconer has the birds flying in-between the crowd as close as a foot away from you. He's very knowledgeable and keeps you engaged throughout. Our kids loved it but did want to get up and go to the giant outdoor bouncy hills about 5-mins from the end of the show. We will be going back to this place and will most likely go each time we return to Devon.

We had an absolutely fantastic day at the Milky Way Adventure Park in North Devon! There is so much to do for the whole family that you can easily spend the entire day there without getting bored. The rides and play areas kept everyone entertained, and we loved exploring the amazing sci-fi memorabilia. The magic show with Merlin was brilliant—funny, interactive, and entertaining for both children and adults. The birds of prey display was another highlight and well worth watching. One thing that really stood out was that the park is dog-friendly, so we were able to bring our family dog along, which made the day even more special. Most of all, the staff deserve a special mention. Every single person we met was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. They really made us feel valued as visitors and added to what was already a wonderful day. If you’re looking for a fun-filled family day out in North Devon, I can’t recommend the Milky Way Adventure Park enough. We’ll definitely be returning!

A great day out for the kids. The bird of prey display was fantastic, both for us parents and the kids. My eldest thought that the crazy golf was a touch small. Both really enjoyed the ninja stars area, and the pottery painting kept them engaged for a very long time. We would recommend visiting Milky Way, but would likely not visit again if we were in the area
