“Fun place to visit. The luge ride is short but good fun and the train ride to the top adds to the fun. We had a 6 year old and a 15 year old as well as a 77 year old and all really enjoyed it. The grounds and gardens are immaculate and it is obvious someone has put a lot of care and attention into them. While we did not play mini golf due to our own time restrictions I had a look around the course and was really impressed by the condition it was in. My Dad went to the museum part and said it was fantastic. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to visit.”

“What a fantastic place to take a group of car enthusiasts! There was so much to see and do that our only regret was not allowing ourselves more time, particularly for everyone to have a proper go at the luge and mini putt. The team also did an amazing job looking after our large group in the café, putting together fantastic platters and providing bar service while we were there. A really enjoyable afternoon and a great way to finish our weekend. We would definitely recommend allowing plenty of time to make the most of everything on offer!”

“Mini golf course was one of the best we've ever been to! Fun holes with interesting features, especially the fountain and loop-the-loop. Luge was also fantastic, and the train ride back up was probably even more of a highlight, especially with the gorgeous gardens. 5/5, would highly recommend!”
