Pensthorpe

Absolutely gorgeous place. A choice of trails round beautiful lakes and meadows. The paths are all in good condition too. Loved all the unusual birds and it was so sweet to see the crane chick. Good parking area and very nice cafe. Well worth a visit. We were there hours just wandering around as its so peaceful with lots to see

Family of 4 with children aged 4 and 9. We felt like we only scratched the surface! It is a vast place with lots of things to keep the kids occupied.Pond dipping was a success!
There is a large outdoor play area but also has a good size indoor play area. When we went you had to choose which time to use the indoor play area, which I think was a very good idea as it wasn't over crowded.
We had lunch at the café, a nice selection of sandwiches, hot food and cake. We came on a recommendation and it did not disappoint.
Wheelchair and buggy friendly, all paths are well maintained and accessible.

We went here today and arrived when it opened and left when it closed and we all LOVED it! There is so much to do for all ages. Great outdoor and indoor play areas, lots of coffee stops and benches. Take a camera and some binoculars for all the amazing wildlife

Fantastic place to visit. Stunning place all round.
So much for kids to run around and explore. Park was great and indoor play was well organised and great fun.
Staff are all very friendly.
My little boy had his disability buggy we noticed they have certain tracks marked on map for what ways are accessible for wheel chairs etc and what aren't. They have tried really hard to be inclusive where they can and you can definitely see this.
Everything was spotless and well maintained when we visited today.
Would definitely visit again 🪻☺

Had a fabulous time. Indoor softplay, enchanted trail, birds, outdoor play, land train - all greatly enjoyed by my 2 young children. Would come again and highly recommended!

We had a fantastic day, we have not been for several years and we're amazed by all the changes. The food in the restaurant was lovely and reasonable prices, lovely friendly staff. Very accessible with gravel paths and boardwalks.

It was better than expected.

Some nice walks between 1 and 2 miles and the ducks waddle around to say hello.

Bossy Geese will his at you but didn't peck.

Big outdoor playground and an indoor playground.

We were there for 3 hours

An absolutely beautiful place to visit. Well maintained and managed with friendly, helpful staff. Wildlife galore and plenty of hides to observe. Also has a lovely shop, and two play areas (indoor and out). I will return again and again for my outdoor fix, with or without family and/or friends. Highly recommend!

A truly beautiful and serene outing and we were blessed with a sunny morning. The flamingos were a treat to watch and hopefully next time I'll see a kingfisher 😊

Great day out, even in the rain. Tickets can be purchased either at the location or online. Lovely little cafe an shop

Me and my partner have visited in 3 different seasons which makes it feel different each time.
The lady/ ladies at the front desk are friendly and welcoming. They always show you the route map in the guidebook/ leaflet you can get after paying and the last visit we went, we couldn't go on a certain path (as winter) but there were alternative winter walks available.
There is an option to have season tickets, so you don't have to pay each time, worth it if you live closer-by. The pricing though is decent enough.
We bought some duck feed after paying as well as there are a lot of ducks around the park.

The paths are all level and good for all people - young and old. Able and disabled. There are many ways you can traverse the park and many animals to see to. There are flamingos (will only be out in warmer weather), 3 variations of cranes, ducks, nature trails, a millennium garden, deer, structures, statues, art, bird hides, a monet - style Bridge and more.

There are people who work on the grounds sometimes about and you are more than welcome to ask them anything as they are very friendly.

The place is well kept and clearly loved.

The gift shop is full to the brim! All sorts of gifts, jewellery, food and drink. There's a cafe and toilets on site also.

The car park is easy to access and plenty of room, even in summer. There are places to sit outside as well.

I would highly recommend.

Magically beautiful place!! Wildfowl trusting and friendly..the fabulous flamingos are stunning!! The gardens contain so much well tended colour in such pretty settings!! If you are near don't miss it...that would be sad ! The cafe is delicious too⭐👏🤗

An amazing day out suitable for all ages! Our second trip here this year with a 2 & 5 year old. We did the explorers truck ride, wandered around the gardens feeding the ducks, used the outdoor play and booked our slot for a 1 hour indoor play. All the grounds and equipment are in great shape and was wonderful to see just how much the gardens have changed over the season. They also have wheelchairs and mobility scooters to borrow/hire. What shines the most however is the staff - everyone you meet is lovely and friendly and they really go above and beyond to make it a great visit every time. Also learnt a lot from them all as they were very happy to chat about the different wildlife and environments. Can’t wait to visit again when we’re next in Norfolk!

We love Pensthorpe!
It's always a great family day out!
Definitely recommend pre booking Hootzhouse before your visit.
Bluey meet and greet was a particularly great addition to our trip!

Came here as a birthday treat. Was so beautiful that we have an annual pass.
I think that's all thats needed to be said.
Beautiful place ❤ Strongly recommend.

We love this place it's so relaxing walking around and millennium garden a picture.

Beautiful space to see birds & nature. Things for children to do like trails & pond dipping. Gift shop & café. Large parking area. Recommended 👍🏼

A wonderful peaceful day. I worked for Pioneer, the company which quarried the sand and gravel from here in the 1970's and 80's and attended the opening ceremony in July 1988 by Duke of Edinburgh. It is fantastic to see how the site has matured since then and become the haven for wild fowl envisaged by Bill Makins, the original owner and farmer. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic venue for all occasions. This well maintained park has wonderful play areas for all weather. Well, thought-out pathways lead you though beautiful landscape where you can sit and enjoy a picnic and observe nature at its very best. A truly great day out fir young and old.

Absolutely wonderful. If we lived locally, I would have an annual pass, but it was a great last day out for our short holiday in Norfolk. So much to see and do, loads for kids to do, great cafe, great walking trails
