0/5	i visited this 'attraction' with my partner & his 4 1/2 year old son & have never felt so ripped off. This was the worst £30.00 that I have ever spent. The 1st train ride was fine as we did not know what was coming! The 'playground' was built on a hill, a sandpit with sit on diggers - one was broken & you could see where it has been previously mended, the sit on pedal toys were not working properly, the maze was bricks set in the grass, there was nothing crazy about the crazy golf & going round a pond in a canoe twice was not an appealing thought. Another train went round a pond twice whilst the last train took you to a 'family playground' which was just stuck in a random field. There were no amenities in this field so 1 woman had to discreetly allow her small child to relieve themselves in a hedge. There was dog mess in the 'family playground' - didn't see any dog poo bins anywhere. The food was no better, £1.40 for a normal sausage in a finger roll - not exactly a real hotdog as described on the menu!! Would strongly recommend you avoid this place as definately not worth the money!!!

5/5	This is just the best place to go with children. The attractions are all inclusive so you are not having to put your hand in your pocket all the time. The staff are brilliant with children and if you eat there it is very reasonably priced. Lots to do - I cannot praise it enough. Great Day Out!!!

5/5	We had a wonderful time at Lappa Valley today. There are lots of things to do and all for one entry fee. Once inside, there are 3 trains for you to ride on and some beautiful scenery to see. There are lots of play areas for the children and some interesting history for the adults. You can take a canoe out on the lake, play crazy golf and there is cafe for lunch and coffee breaks! A charming place with a lot more on offer than you might think when you first arrive. Would definitely recommend it for families.
