What it cost us for the day:
Entrance tickets 4 adults: £80 3 year old ticket £6 Lunch: £23 Afternoon Snack: £21 Game stand: £6 Total cost for day out: £136 For 5 of us to have a day out I don't think £136 is a bad price at all. We could of saved some of that by taking our own food bu its a lot of work managing a toddler and carrying bags around everywhere. |
