We visited Flambards in June 2013, taking our two grandsons. To get in we paid over £60, in it self this is about what we had been paying to get into most attractions all week, but once in we were met with a rather dated, shabby park! To go on to various other attractions we had to pay once again(unlike... More

Unlike some other reviewers I found Flambards very good value for money even though we didnt take much advantage of the rides. The Victorian streets are interesting, the war exhibits are too. Its an easy site to get around and theres a brilliant plant centre with bargains to be had. Unlike some theme parks it seemed fairly peaceful even with... More

Don't bother going, charged us nearly £50 to see dated models in the Victorian area, dated fairground rides that looked like they were barely hanging on and bored staff! The best part of the day for my 3 year old little boy was the indoor play area; the best part of the day for me was leaving!

Flambards is a great place for the family with some great rides and plenty to do. The Victorian village is well laid out and has great exhibits which include about 50 shops. There is also a walk through the blitz exhibit and a war time museum. The restaurant there serves really nice food and is reasonably priced. The attraction is... More

Great for the kids, but it's very expensive unless you can find a voucher. I loved the Blitz exhibition and the victorian street was brilliant. Worth a visit if you can afford it.

Prices for the present decade but rides and machines from years ago - most of what we tried to use was broken, creaking, rusty or simply rubbish. It's not cheap, closes early and is a poor reflection of a beautiful county.

Dear Marty P I am sorry to read you did not enjoy our Park. Our rides do vary in age but some of our older rides are still the most popular. All of our rides are maintained to the very best safety standards. None of our rides are 'broken' as you suggest. However sometimes coin operated machines do jam. By... More

We visited at the start of our holiday and paid with tesco vouchers, so in fact it cost us nothing! We then went back twice more as the tickets allow you to go back and visit for five more days. Our ten year old son and 2 year old daughter had lots to do, and the exhibits are good for... More

We were staying in the area so thought we would go to this attraction. We really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Victorian street was the largest we've seen, and the WWII exhibited was also great. There were a variety of rides so there is something for everyone. All in all quite an enjoyable day out.

On arrival we were told our child would have to pay even though she is not even 94cm tall. The man was dismissive and rude at the gate. Baby changing facilities are useless unless you like to carry everything you need into the area as you cannot fit your pushchair. I was told to 'get on with as there was... More

Dear Finike2009 Thank you for your review. Over 95cm will be charged a child rate. Our height boards are extremely accurate (they have to be) and we would not have charged your child unless they were over this height. Your child could have gone on a number of rides including all rides in Ferdi's Funland (teacups, shuttle, Cornish Eye, Animal... More

Not sure how I wanted to review this because, personally, I was fairly unimpressed. That said, it was always intended as a day out for my kids and not for me and they absolutely loved it. The main "attraction" rides looked newish with little queueing and the park was clean and tidy, even if (to concur with a couple of... More
