⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Destination Lakeside – Perfect Summer Day Out! The Destination Lakeside is absolutely brilliant – the location is fantastic, such a lovely spot to spend your time! This summer, they have a wonderful splash pool, perfect for cooling off and having so much fun in the sun 💦☀️. You can even book private sessions for the splash pool, great for a more relaxed and special time! Right next to it there is also a massive, fantastic beach area – plenty of space to sit, play and soak up the sunshine! There is so much to enjoy here: loads of fun rides and amazing activities specially for kids, plus plenty of exciting attractions for teenagers too. You can relax, soak up the happy atmosphere, sing along and just have the best time. All the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful – they make every visit feel lovely. Everything is clean, safe and very well looked after. Whether you come with family or friends, this place has it all. Highly recommended – we will definitely be coming back again! 👌👌👌👌

Absolutely love this place! We always call in on a weekend and during the school holidays as the rides are great, the food is delicious and the bar serves a great range of drinks. Staff are so lovely and friendly and work hard to give everyone a fun experience. Rides change from season to season so there is always something new to enjoy. We look forward to returning again soon, thanks xxx

Excellent play area. Transformed during summer time into a fun fair and beach area. You need to book for the splash pool but it’s well worth it. They have sand area for kids too. Rides are decent and the kids and adults will have a great day!
