This is a great theme park set in 280 acres. There are rides for all ages here, a zoo, kiosks, restaurants and live shows. There is plenty of parking and they do special events periodically throughout the year.

Having said all that, my review will focus on the fantastic new area- Thomasland. Having 2 small children who adore Thomas the tank engine, we went for a day out there. We were able to easily fill the entire day just in Thomasland and a quick walk through the zoo after lunch.

Thomasland has been so well thought out in its construction. It is set up as if you are entering Sodor, complete with engines in their sheds, the station, and themed rides based on the characters. There were only 2 rides that our smallest was not able to go on. The rides are miniature versions of adult theme park rides and were good fun even for the adults! The rides were kept to an appropriate length of time for young children. The queues were not too long and went quickly. There also was a Thomas-themed soft play area.

Thomas and Percy took passengers to the huge adventure playground, where you could picnic, proceed through the zoo or travel back.

I would highly recommend this to anyone with Thomas fans in their house. Our kids still talk about it most days!
