Gulliver’s Kingdom

An amazing fun park for the family. Rides for all ages. And they are GREAT rides. From roller coaster to log flume to bumper cars and panning for gold. And So much more to do!
Very clean and friendly. Cheap compared to other well known fun parks. £58 for 5 of us on line. Food fresh and low price.
All day spent going on rides with NO CUEING!!!
My daughter shouted ‘THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! ’ going down the log flume. And she’s quite hard to please sometimes.
Would defiantly recommend this place.

I’m surprised that Muml2 was disappointed with the rides here. We go regularly and my younger daughter is now 6. We do as most people do, take the chair lift to the top, then work our way down. We always take food with us, and carry it around with us all day. (I normally take a backpack with our food in, but instead of taking loads of lunch boxes, make it as easy to carry as I can, by putting everything in bags, that way when you’ve eaten each bit, you can throw the bags away in the bins, the same with drinks, we take a couple of bottles of water, then throw the bottles away when we’ve finished them). We go out a lot during each year, so can’t afford to keep eating at different food places at all the parks and theme parks etc we go to. If we bought food at them, we’d end up stuck at home all year!

would reccomend

We found there was plenty here for a good day out, but the quialty of the park is not good enough to justify the ticket prices. A wise idea to take your own food/​drinks as these add to the cost of the day, also the steep hill is not recommended for older people or those that have difficulty walking.

excellent fun for little ones and their family

a family theme park with younger children in mind. its set on awooded hillside in a lovely part of the country. plenty of attractions and many of them are a little on the gentler side, so it is a much better place to go if you have a young family rather than the bigger theme parks. lots of places to eat, also picnic
doesnt take too long to get to either if you live in the midlands.

Great place for younger children. The price of admission is good and there are lot’s of different rides and activities for children to do. The shows are okay but i would take a picnic as the food os overpriced and not that good.

BRILLIANT PLACE FOR 3 – 9 YEAR OLDS ABOUT £10 EACH. Lots of rides but very steep hills we always use the chair lift then work our way dow. Theres little play places all over like a fun house and a little resturant with a bowling alley large connect 4 and ball pits all round. Giant outdoor chess set, singing frogs. Shows through out the day. Food was good valu for money we got meals and drinks for 2 adults and 2 children for £15. We go twice a year and always a good place.

a nice little place to go for kids but is quite babyish and the rides are not very good overall the whole place is very affordable but the food and drink is much to overpriced and i think it is only really good for kids or people who have a family they also do parties sometimes but not all the time i think the admission is very good price because i got in very cheap!

I want to disagree with those that say Gulliver’s is just for the young kids. I took my 2 teenagers who are 16 and 14 and they had a whale of a time.
If you are going to go on the train, wear some good walking shoes as you have a hell of a hill to climb. The whole park is set on the side of a hill. The best thing to do is when you go in the main entrance, Take the chair lift to the top and work your way back down.
All the rides are totally family friendly so Mum, Dad and the kids can all go on together. There is only a height restriction on 2 rides so my little 3 yr old niece wasn’t allowed to go on the Switchback Roller coaster or the drop tower.
There’s Fantasy Terrace where you can ride on the Flying Carpet and go on the Dodgems. There Western World where you can drive the JCB diggers, pan for gold and ride the Log Flume. The Log Flume was one of my favourites of the day. All children and adults can go on it yet the drop is quite awesome and we got soaked through. My daughter went on it twice. You can also buy a photo from the ride — We got Magnets to put on the fridge.
Next you can take a walk through the Party house with a ball pool, big pedal tractors, A big old sandpit and a great interactive piano that you play with your feet.
I took some time out to look at the breath taking views of Matlock and all of Derbyshire. Take a look at the photos to see for yourself. It makes all that hill climbing worth it.
The biggest area is of course Lilliput land the home of Gulliver himself. You can play Giant chess, go over the magic stepping stones and ride the veteran cars, Find your way round the 3d maze, ride the Crazy barrel rapid ride, visit Lilliput castle, ride the teacups and the Rio Grande train ride.
My favourite area was the Palais Royale area with the Switchback and the cycle monorail but boy did my legs feel it in the morning! As it is Gulliver’s Anniversary this year every half an hour the 2 park Mascots Gully and Gilly would come out and sing. It was a lovely treat for the little ones so we took time out to get ice cream and donuts. OK they are a little expensive but the were really Yummy.
The absolute last ride you get to go on before you leave the park is the Pirate ship which is my all time favourite ride so it was perfect to save the best for last.
As for the food on the park. Well the usual is availableBurgers, Pizza, Chips and Chicken. We ate at Dixies Fish bar. You queue up at the till and order your food (Fish or Chicken burgers) and then when you paid you move round to the window to wait while the slow youngsters in the kitchen prepare your mealDon’t wait until you are starving to order. It all comes in disposable wrappers so you can just throw it all away on your way out. I thought the price was quite reasonable and they don’t skimp on portions either.
Both my children asked if we can go again next year because they went on all the rides and had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Quite disappointing for the price.
Fantastic for those with young children only, but for older ones it can be quite boring.
Top tip — take a picnic with you as there are plenty of benches about and the food places are extortionate!

Gullivers kingdom is a brilliant place, fun yet affordable it is perfect for younger children in the 4 – 8 year bracket as the rides there are no too extreme. Check out the balloon ferris wheel and the pirate ship.
