Happy Visitors 🤩

‘Absolutely loved it!! It was so much fun and definitely brought the childish side out in me and my husband! Plus we did a free quiz whilst walking round and got 14/16 correct so received two silver stars and two stickers!! 😁

Staff are friendly and welcoming. And the tickets are valid for a year so it’s definitely worth going back again and again.’

📸 Purplescorpio, Google Review June ‘26

This was such a lovely review to read earlier today, always means the world to the whole team. The model town really is a special place ✨🏡
