Wellington Country Park

Thank you in advance for everything. After a year, I returned to the farm with a new member of the family. We were able to enjoy the entire place, and the food and drinks were delicious—10 out of 10! My son loved seeing all the animals, including the new babies—10 out of 10! I hope you continue like this so I can keep visiting every year and see many changes to enjoy even more. Thank you!

We had a really lovely day out at Wellington Country Park during their Dino Take Over weekend. The park is really nice, there are lots of things for little kids to do, with the train and go-karts being extra money. My only couple of issues is, firstly, it's really quite costly for a family of 4 to go in. Luckily, we had won two tickets so only had to buy two, but it would have been nearly £100 for 4 people as children and adults are priced the same. Also, there was a lot for little kids to do, but not so much for 11 year olds, which is a shame. For example, he could go on the train and go-karts, but the jumping pillow is only for smaller children, the play areas are mainly aimed at smaller children, and the splash pad is very small kid orientated. They used to have pedalos on the lake etc, but that wasn't on when we visited, and I couldn't see any evidence of them, so assume they are no more. I'd definitely go again, but on a day when I only had my 5 year old with me.

A fantastic country park with so much to do for children of all ages. There’s a lake with ducks, little cars and trains to ride, a lovely farm with friendly animals, great playgrounds, and plenty of space to walk around. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed everything. I’ll definitely be back.

We visited on Easter Sunday, it wasn't extremely busy as I had expected it to be so was great for space, they had an Easter egg trail , circus , story time, animal petting and feeding events. There are several play areas dotted around the lake, a petting farm with alpacas, sheet, goats, pigs, rabbits, couple of birds etc You can buy feed- however they are very well fed so maybe get there first thing 😁 There a splash pad / area which looks to be great for the summer months. Plenty of space to sit and relax, bring a picnic blanket, folding chairs etc if you wish but there are plenty of benches and picnic spots. Food and beverages available and mid-ish range prices ( food could be a bit more cost accessable) BUT the pizza was delicious 🤤. Plenty of ice cream opportunitys. Very clean and well maintained. Circus was a lovely touch. The overall experience was great, very nostalgic having camped here as a child myself, now bringing my own children here. I have a 7 & 9 year old and although loads of space and lots of play areas and things to do, I would say WCP's quote on Thier website 'perfect for children up to 8 years old' is spot on. Of taking older kids, pack a ball or something that can keep them entertained for later on in the day when the 'I'm bored, I've done everything ' starts. The train is a lovely little ride, the staff member on that day was excellent and very engaging, spoke to all the kids and made them part of the experience of the tickets, asking how Thier day has been and offering a high five on exit - she was lovely ( wearing very colourful clothes and a greys big smile) The Easter egg collection after the trail would be where if offer constructive feedback. We went to the door to be told they are having a carrot break ( that confused odr a while until I understood -easter bunny) 5 mins I was told to come back, 25 mins later the door open we get up to go in and we're told they would have a 5 mins carrot break and as we joined the queue for a 3rd time a young girl told us again a carrot break 5 mins.. at this point I felt it took the Michael a bit and said we have been waiting around for an hour to just collect and egg and the door didn't seem to open for anymore that 5 mins before a "5 mins" aka 20+ mins break . We would like to continue with our day with 2 children. The feedback here is timing / planning/ transparency and finally communication... The girl who dealt with me, spoke to me like petulant child, and patronised me so much that several onlookers then approached me afterwards to tell me I did a great job in handling that conversation as they would have cut it short and walked away/left the park. Commucate the breaks, you have great signage already so adding timings should suffice for future pop up events/ seasonal occasions or an alternative collection point ( with out the carrot eating bunny ) on exit 😉
