Babbacombe Model Village & Gardens

This was an amazing day out. So many tiny details and so many puns. Look out for where's wally and friends! The person who designed this place was a genius. The models are all beautifully made and the landscaping is amazing. It is in a valley so you will have to walk up and downhill, however, everything is laid with concrete and there are handrails as well. I went round it with a buggy and it was fine. There are indoor parts as well including mythical kingdoms and more detailed models. The crazy golf was fun as well and is included in the ticket price. There is a coffee shop with snacks and bathrooms at the top as well. There's also baby changing areas. I would recommend going during the day to see all of the tiny details. You can return within 7 days free with your ticket. We went the following night to see the illuminations which were beautiful. I will come again next year with my family ☺️ Thank you so much to the lovely staff who made our day as well!

Now this place was a surprise, I only thought I'd be here a couple of hours....... 4 hours later, so much to see and take in, the place was alot bigger than expected, I loved it...... Even played a round of mini golf 😂. It looks like you could get to do I night time visit on special occasions (would have loved to have done that, maybe next time I'm in the area 😁). Definitely a place to visit with or without the kids.

Such a jolly guy to welcome us at entrance/pay desk! Very helpful and friendly. He recommended we take our time to look in detail at everything as there are lots of 'play on words' signage giving plenty of laughs! Great that the ticket price allows free entry for a week from visit. I thought £20.50 was reasonable as we spent 2 n half hours and there's lots of interesting history and information about the costs and man hours involved in the creation and production/maintenance of the models. It is constantly evolving, we really enjoyed our visit !!

Having never been before, we saw a post on YouTube about this place. We thought it would be a good place to go to for a couple of hours. We went on a Friday when they had the night opening for the model illumination. Amazing! We walked around during the day so we were able to see the brilliant models in daylight. If you take the time to really look , you can see the details of every model. You also see the puns that are all around the park. Everything is lovely here, in the daylight and the inside displays are something else. Beautiful and ethereal. It's totally different during the night when all the models are illuminated by street lighting,car lights and lights in the model properties. Make sure you see the Tiny British Cake Off with the presenters old and new! There's a small mini golf to play for free as well. Café great choices, had the plant based pepperoni pizza, fabulous. Definitely worth visiting. We are going to be visiting again.

This miniature model village is an absolute delight and incredibly well thought out. The one-way system is a brilliant touch — it guides you through the entire attraction seamlessly, so you never feel like you’ve missed a thing. What really sets this place apart is the level of detail in the displays. From tiny scenes to hilarious adult humour tucked into signs, logos, and shop names, there’s something to entertain everyone — not just the kids! You’ll find yourself chuckling at the clever wordplay as much as admiring the craftsmanship. The free crazy golf is a added bonus and perfect for keeping children entertained after exploring the village. There’s also a nice café and a picnic area on-site, giving you the option to relax and take your time. Expect to spend a good couple of hours here at a relaxed pace. Parking is easy with a car park just outside — you can pay via app or the on-site machines. Overall, a quirky, charming day out with fun for all ages. Highly recommended!

This was such a pleasure to go to. It was bigger than we thought and really easy to find. The car park is small so recommend you get there early if you can or you can get the number 12 bus and it is a short walk from the bus stop. There was so much to see and some of the scenes were genius and well thought of some were also really hilarious 🤣 Make sure you check everywhere as there’s little scenes that are hidden too

We went mid week, it was not the summer holidays yet so was not busy at all which was nice! £20 for adult to enter which included mini golf, the mini golf was fun! You could definitely spend 2-3 hours here easily. A fun place to visit!

Revisited after 55 years as my happy childhood memory of coming here had stayed with me. We were the only visitors for the first hour as it was raining very heavily, but this didn’t spoil our day at all. The sun came out for us to play crazy golf and there were indoor models too. We loved searching for the bugs, Where’s Wally characters and other hidden items as we’re big kids at heart. Also laughed out loud at some of the names. I have limited mobility but managed the site well. Staff are lovely, cafe was very nice. A really fabulous day out.
