β€œWe recently hosted our daughter’s 4th birthday at Crystal Mountain which was fantastic! Catering provided by Crystal Mountain was great for adults and children, the party area was spacious, tidy & well prepared, staff were friendly and helpful throughout the day. There was no pressure to leave within a time frame which was fantastic as our guests made the most of the all of the attractions. Would recommend and many thanks to the team for hosting us!”

β€œAmazing Fun for kids and adults both. Easy walking and free train ride. Lot of farm animals to look out for. Big dinosaur sculptures were fascinating to watch. The indoor playzone is awesome and great for kids to be busy. Cafe was busy but good. The cupcake size is huge and enough for 2 people. Dont forget the visit the crystal shop and museum which full of millions of crystals!! One of the best places for families and tourists to visit.”

β€œOne of the highlights of our one week trip. Kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly from the train ride around the animal enclosures (llamas, goats, peacocks, ponies, horses, emus), to the massive indoor playground as well as bonus roller coaster ride (luck out as a YouTuber was doing content so they run it on a non operational day). Food from the cafe was underrated and the staff were trying their best to bring joy to the kids.”
