Gulliver's World Theme Park

Brought our first grandchild here when he was 4 and again at 5 .... Now brought him at 9 with 2nd grandchild at 5. They both loved it!!Very happy bunnies! A good variety of rides, enough to make them both happy. We were happy there was Costa coffee when we needed a hot drink.Reasonable prices for food and sweets.

A really good theme park for young kids, as there are loads of rides, many with minimal height restrictions. We went with children aged 4, 5 & 6 and they were able to ride most rides with an adult.All rides have clear height guidance and whether children can ride by themselves or with a parent or adult which makes for an easier day out.There are a handful of bigger thrill rides with longer queues but for the most we found minimal queues. Skipping the largest rides meant we visited all areas of the park, and clocked up around 21 rides during our visit (riding some more than once).Some areas could do with sprucing up (water fountains on one of the water rides were not working anywhere along it) though rest assured you won't get soaked on any of them!!We opted to picnic and found lots of places to sit and eat too.

We went for the land of lights for the first time and enjoyed it. Wasnt busy so easy to walk around and see everything. Lovely atmosphere and some fabulous look lanterns. Nice stop offs for hot drinks and food but we also took our own snacks which is good to be able to do. Only negative, wish it had last longer with even more lanterns.

A really great place to take younger children. We went with a 3.5 and 4.5 year old, both tall enough for every ride we tried.There was always something for us to do.There is a little old age to some of the locations in the park but not enough to put you (or more importantly the children) off. We all had an amazing time.They have really thought about the issues that arise from taking young children to theme parks.Toilets always seem close by. There is always some kind of mini park/play area/climbing frame close to all the rides which is perfect if its busy or big waits or one child had to wait because they were too small.The rides fit adults too which makes it such a fun day. We loved apache falls!!There are little ducks running round which was cute.The dinosaurs area is perfect for toddlers. My son loved it!!

Gulliver's World markets itself as a theme park aimed at families with younger children but you end up struggling to see who this actually appeals to.Opening in 1989, Gulliver's World in Warrington is a theme park that looks its age. Even on a wet Saturday in August, there is little to brighten up your day as the park is a mix of old, weirdly shaped animal statues, damaged and weathered slightly animatronic dinosaurs and old rides rejected from a traveling fun fair.There are only a few rides that seem to be actually built for the park including the 'Antelope', an old fashioned wooden coaster, the Alpine Log Flume, Apache Falls and smaller rides like Adventure Canyon, Dino Safari Tours and Gully's Express Railroad. The rest of the rides all seem to be old rides from traveling fun fairs, with rides like Desperado Drop, Overdrive, Tree Top Swings, Dodgems, Horses Carousel, Pirates Cove, Pirate Ship, The Wriggler and Grand Prix Racers (which banged my 8 year-old son around so much in his seat that he had bruises all over his back and was very upset for the rest of the visit), looking old and dated.The list of problems doesn't stop there. The toilets, while clean, had a distinct smell of urine, even when visiting just after the park opened. The surroundings and gardens were unkept and in need of maintenance. Draft drinks and bottles were over priced and while most of the staff were very pleasant, there were some who definitely gave the impression that they didn't want to be there.The one shining light, and the reason for a second star was the staff at the hotel. As part of package, we were given a three course evening meal at the Gulliver's Hotel, which was very nice and while the staff were a little overwhelmed by the amount of people that received this offer and the service suffered from delays but they were very apologetic and were professional throughout.Gulliver's World is a great concept but it feels like that concept hasn't changed since the park opened. The Park is in desperate need of an update, meaning you might want to think again when you are looking for a family friendly place to visit.

Fright Fiesta was a joy, despite the pouring rain and cold conditions we had a wonderful day. It was a half term treat for my little thrill seeker and it definitely lived up to our expectations (went beyond them in fact). Daniel on the Togo Tower (02/11/23) was just lovely, he even let my son win a race between us and he along with every other member of staff deserves a 5 star review. We hardly queued at all so that made the day even more special, definitely worth a visit in the low peak times if you don't mind some rough weather. Plenty places to eat and grab a coffee. Thank you for the memories ❤️ I've not doubt we will be back!

Came Friday - Saturday for Santa's sleepover and land of lights.We had an absolutely brilliant time, The hotel room was lovely and clean, The only downside was the mattress was awful and no cot mattress so needed to use a towel which wasn't ideal. The staff was very helpful and polite and nothing was too much trouble.For the packages I'd of expected an itinerary and times of what was happening but didn't receive this so hard to plan with a baby.Theme park was great, the whole Santa experience was amazing, train ride etc was brilliant.The only problem with the theme park I'd say was it was hard to navigate around with the Christmas was land of lights parts were closed off so we ended up getting lost quite often which wasn't great in -2 degrees with a baby.Food and drink are very expensive in the park £2 for a can of pop and £15 for a meal.Asda around the corner so we got snacks to bring as we couldn't afford the meals there for breakfast dinner and tea for 2 days.Definitely recommend for families with young children, looking forward to coming back in the summer.Thank you for a great first mini family holiday and first Santa visit for my baby.

Went for the Land of Lights display and my boys loved it, both 10. We stayed over in one of the Wooden Cabins. Quite small and very basic, but still had a nice cosy feel to it. Check in was a nightmare! None of the staff knew where our accommodation was, just had a rough idea of the area, but still sent us off in the wrong direction in the pouring rain. We went for the breakfast, train ride and met with Santa package. The breakfast wasn't worth waiting for, so glad the boys had theirs already or they'd have gone without. Park rides were good, plenty to keep busy for a few hours. A couple of issues but all in all a very enjoyable stay. Would recommend.

We visited Land of Lights at Gulliver’s world, I have to say it’s breathtaking, much more than what I imagined,well worth the money, definitely recommended. Like stepping into a fairy tale, it’s an amazing experience. You have hot food and drink, different gadget shops during the trail, it’s an instant stress relief after a bad day. Parking is free.

Getting through the gates was relatively easy as was the parking although closing off enough space for 20+ disabled cars for 1 bus seemed pretty pointless!The remaining disabled spaces numbered about 6.The 1st ride, we stood in the queue for 90mins! and missed a lot of the rides due to the size of the queues.I had a double cheese burger which eventually had onions and cheese even after the server told us he had none left but only after we asked for a refund. £6.95 which considering the establishment wasn't too bad even if the burgers were just warm and the cheese cold.The pizza place was no different and was slightly undercooked, the poor lady working on her own was definitely under visible pressure.Having captured for the little ones in our group we decided to check out the roller coaster which the adults were looking forward too.Having got there we were told that it was closing due to the fireworks despite only being 6pm and the fireworks due at 20:45!?Fireworks were better than expected which added to our day.All in all I probably would go back but during the week when less quiet and also take my own food.
