Robin Hoods Wheelgate Park

Had a great family day out, it was great weather today so the children enjoyed the splash park also. Plenty of benches outside and tables and chairs inside to have a picnic. Plenty of toilets around and rubbish bins. Visited wheelgate a number of times over the years, never had any issues with the park. The children also enjoy visiting the animals and reptiles. A great range of rides indoor/ outside and always take money for an ice cream.

We had a fantastic day at Robin Hood’s Wheelgate! There’s so much to see and do for all ages, but the absolute highlight for us was the Bird of Prey show. It was funny, entertaining, and packed with interesting facts that kept both kids and adults engaged from start to finish. The presenter really knew how to mix humour with education, and the eagle owl was just brilliant – such a stunning bird and very loud!! The baby red kites were also very funny, even if they were not fully ready for show time. A great day out, and we’ll definitely be visiting again!

Reasonable value for money with a 33% off voucher . There are only a few rides adults can join their kids on. The motor boat queue was large and slow moving due to to only having 3 of the 5 boats working so we ended up going elsewhere. Must mention the Alien galaxy food area at this point. Bought 8 set meals for over £70 which were ok but very bland. Then we sat down to eat and watched some young lad wiping down multiple tables and chairs with the same filthy cloth and no sign of any antibacterial spray or the like. The spread of infection after petting animals is a serious issue and if previous guests had not followed protocol this extremely poor hygiene method of wiping down would simply spread germs around.....needs sorting ASAP. I emailed the park the same day to point out our concerns but so far no response from them. Overall we had a nice visit but the low number of staff and the apparent lack of hygiene training were a concern.

The kids will love you for this!!! Absolutely delightful and immersive fun park for kids. From the bunnies to the rides to the slides, kids cannot have enough of this expansive park. Highlights for older kids here are the Hexo Hedge maze, the Wave, the bumper boats, the race buggy circuit and the drop! For younger kids, the play area of The Pharaoh's Area, the tropical area with its train ride, the sand beach and so much more.

Avoid if you're a SEN family - disgraceful treatment. We made a 3-hour round trip so our disabled child could meet Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse, only to be met with rudeness, discrimination and zero understanding from staff, particularly Lisa Broome, the manager. Despite clearly wearing a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard and showing paperwork, our child was denied access while other neurotypical families enjoyed the experience just metres away. Staff laughed while our child cried in confusion. Lisa dismissed our child’s needs, accused us of queue-jumping (we’d already waited an hour), and claimed to “understand” because she has children, missing the entire point of SEND differences. Wheelgate Park clearly lacks any proper training in supporting children with disabilities. What should’ve been a joyful day became one of public humiliation and distress. Other families witnessed it and even left early in protest. Their SEND-friendly marketing is a box-ticking exercise at best. If you care about inclusion, dignity or human decency, take your money elsewhere. A heartbreaking and disgraceful experience.

First time going, but been meaning to go for a while. Went to go for my nephews first birthday, prebooked but the queue to get in was very slow moving... until we got to the front and then they opened another entrance for prebooked entries. The car park was almost full but did manage to get a space. Be aware that it is a stones / grass surface. The weather was glorious for our visit Staff seemed fairly disinterested and like they didn't want to be there, maybe it was just a bad day. There's lots to do and see but things could be signposted better. Toilets were dirty. Food relatively cheap for what it is, but take your own drinks. Prizes not great in arcades. Enjoy it if you go folks, we did!

Great place for family day out! Slides, rides, animals, different activities... Huge indoor play area. Awesome Sunday. Thank you guys.

Fabulous day - didn’t leave until the park was closing! Our grandkids range from 6 to 13 and there was something for all of them - plus my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the animals. I particularly loved the falconry display - especially the Red Kite - BUT IT WAS ALL GOOD!
