Gold Rush was Brilliant

Had a great day with friends and spent most of our time going between the bigger rides. Gold Rush was probably my favourite, but there were several others worth trying. Storm Force 10 was another highlight, although we got absolutely soaked!

Great mix of rides

There is a good mix of rides at Drayton Manor, from the gentler family attractions to some more exciting ones. Gold Rush was probably my favourite, while the kids kept going back to the Thomas Land rides. A very full day.

Thomas Land was fantastic

Took our little one to Thomas Land and she absolutely loved it. The rides are really well themed and there was plenty suitable for younger children. Seeing her excitement when she saw the Thomas train made the whole trip worthwhile.

Something for all ages

We visited with children of different ages and were pleasantly surprised by how much everyone could enjoy. The younger ones loved Thomas Land while the older kids went for the bigger rides. The zoo was also a nice addition.
