December 2017 Highlights: * Amiee brought her mummy, Marie and little sister, Hollie along * Value lunch at the Safari Pizza & Pasta - 4 meals for £22 - Bargain! Downsides: * Didn't quite get on all the rides * Ben 10 was closed |
We had a great day at Drayton Manor. We didn't visit Santa this time. The park was quite busy so we didn't get on all the rides we wanted too but we would recommend this event to anyone with young children as there are loads of rides they can go on.

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 but it's a lot of work managing a toddler and carrying bags around everywhere. |
