Twinlakes Park

Took the grandchildren for a day out FANTASTIC would recommend this to anyone. There really was something for all ages. The children was enjoying themselves so much we had to bribe them with a return visit (which we are looking forward to ourselves) just to get them to go home! Excellent family day out.

Went to Twin Lakes with my wife and five year old son. We had a reasonable day, but left with the feeling the place is run on a shoestring.
Nothing looks fresh or new and the Buffalo ride looks as if it was taken out of another theme park in the 1960s, which i suspect it was.
With the exception of a small number of staff, the park appeared to be run by a load of kids, who did not crack a smile or put a lot of effort into there work.
There are numerous places to eat in the park, serving food and drink at reasonable prices.
This place is worth a visit if you live fairly local, but i would not recomend travelling any great distance as there is nothing exceptional to see or do there.

I took my kids and their friend to Twin Lakes. There were 5 of us altogether (my partner, myself, my 10 year old, my 4 year old and their 7 year old friend). I though that with such an age range, we might struggle to agree on what to do! However, we were pleasantly surprised as there are different sections, each containing rides and play areas for different ages and preferences. I found I could be in one place with my 4 year old and still see the older ones if they wanted to go on something else. My partner took our 4 year old to the barns to see the animals while I played on the «Knight’s Castle» play structure with the others! I liked the fact that adults could play on a lot of the equipment too.
Twin Lakes is fairly small but we did manage to spend a good six hours there, going on as many rides as possible, playing in the indoor and outdoor play areas and going on the train which links two of the «Zones». Personally, I would want more rides as there weren’t that many but there was plenty to do (and I was a bit disappointed that it was too windy for the pedaloes — but that can;t be helped!)The kids (and my partner and myself) had a really good day overall.
It was £11 each to get in (I think it’s a bit more if there are fewer than 4 in your group but only by a few pence) and, apart from one or two «arcade» type things and the food, there are no extra charges. There are a few food places including on which is the entrance to the Farmhouse of Fear which is quite scary and very, very dark! The food prices are fairly reasonable and there are plenty of picnic areas (inside and out).
I could talk about Twin Lakes all day! I’m glad we went there, it’s a good value for money family day out. The only thing is, I would suggest taking an equal number of adults and children, especially if there are large age gaps (or height gaps as there are some areas with height restrictions).
I would also praise their health and safety regulations (such as height restrictions) which are well enforced and there are plenty of rangers to oversee everything.

Twinlakes is a great combination of theme park and animal sanctuary. There are not many places to visit with children of quite a large age range where you can see reindeer, go on a high speed ride, pedal a go kart and watch ferret racing all in the same place. There is plenty of room for everyone even on a busy day and both indoor and outdoor facilities whatever the weather. Some American Adventure rides seem to have turned up again to the relief of my kids, eg the buffalo train and the swinging pirate ship. A very full day and excellent value for money.

Ideal for young children and great in the winter when they have nowhere to go as it has a large indoor play area — where adults can sneak in
there are animals although these are a little bare on occasion and its more farmyard than zoo
twin lakes is good value in compariosn with bigger theme parks and its a good day out. energy gets burned, kids sleep and adults get to drink coffee in peace (at least some of the time)
free parking and about £10 a head entrance from memory

The indoor play barn/​warehouse it’s great fun for children & any adult who enjoys clambering over bridges, down slopes, etc.
There is so much to do for children from outdoor obstacle courses to looking at/​interacting with animals.
A great day out though the food selection is the usual fare of chips & xxx.

We have been to Twinlakes countless times, and had annual passes for a few years. It is fantastic for children under 10 or 11. My 13 year old now thinks she is too old for it!
My 8, 7 and 2 year old still think it’s fab!
Things to do:
Lots and lots of fantastic outdoor play areas, a large wooden castle with lots of slides and climbing, and wavy slides you go down in a sack, lots of zip slides, an assault course, a miniature western style town you can walk in and out of and a couple of go-​karting circuits for different ages.
There is a lake you can take a pedalo out on, a smaller water thing that you can take out an engine’d boat and squirt the other boats with.
There are a number of theme park style rides including a couple of roller coasters (for the younger ones, not white knuckle!), a swing boat thing etc.
There is a good sized farm area, and a good falconry section with regular falconry displays.
My lot also really enjoy the indoor play areas which are massive, far bigger than any other i’ve been to. They are fantastic, and include a foam-​ball shooting bit which of course they love.
All in all a fantastic place to visit, with lots and lots of activities and rides, and places to eat or picnic (indoor and out). A great value for money entertaining day out for little ones.
In some ways it’s better to go on a mixed weather day (sun and showers) as it’s less busy but you have plenty to do whether it’s raining or not.
Recommended definately!

An outstanding place, great fun rain or shine.
My favourite place (other than the café) is the enormous indoor play area where adults can also enjoy themselves and the soft ball cannon’s — great for getting your own back on the kids.
