点评:Priceless little gem for kids - the staff clearly have a deep passion for what they have created! A lot to be said when your children state they would rather go here than somewhere like Chessington or Thorpe park when given the option!
Advice for parents; SEN friendly, wear good footwear, pack a strong buggy, get your best camera, don't be afraid to let the tykes dress up as a princess or pirate, pay attention to the activity timings (don't want to miss the magic), don't forget suncream!
The wife and I have taken our 2 children (aged 3 & 6) a few times and every time they are practically back flipping into the car when we spring the news on them that we are off to Wyvernwood.
Where to start? The grounds are massive and they are immaculately spotless - a lot of thought has gone into the various play areas they have constructed (pirate ship, bouncy pillow, wishing well, teepees, maize maze, go karts, woodland walk, etc). Wood carvings are beautiful btw.
Rich story and lore to the place that is pitched perfectly to the kids - absolutely magical.
The price (which, I feel, is reasonable considering it's for the whole day) is the price for the day and there are no hidden expenses or nasty little ride ons that cost £2 a go (which I feel cheapen a facility) - none of that tat.
The character actors or performers are brilliant with the children and engaging - they never break character and go the extra mile to entertain the children (Sprocket is our favourite - poor lads voice must take a hammering by the end of the season but he always makes a fuss of the children) even the stewards never break character - brilliant!
The various activities that occur are just long enough to engage the children and give mum and dad a quick breather and they always get something magic at the end of it (even if that something is a brand new stick that has been morphed into a magic wand).
Face painting is good - not just some trivial attempt at a flower or eye patch.
Today I watched a staff member (whose job it was to police the ruffians on the bounce pillow) play 'Tag' and 'Bulldog' with about 20 kids in the middle of the blistering hot sun for over 40mins (with both the staff member and the kids loving every minute of it). Now if that were another establishment, you'd have a young college kid standing there showing little-to-no interest, waiting for their break, whilst your kids got jostled unnecessarily by other kids that don't know how to play nicely - not here. Jorm (sorry if I spelt this wrong) was the lads name; 11/10 for effort bud - I had to buy him a cold water as he was baking; massive props).
Summary:
Clearly, there has been a lot of thought, love and effort that has gone into the whole thing - and it shows. It is facilities like this that should be cherished and supported by the community as little gems like this are few and far between nowadays WITHOUT the ugly side of "any-cost profit" and "cheap money spinners" spoiling the whole experience. It really is an enchanted, magical day and the look on the kids face when they get attention from the truly brilliant performers is a priceless memory which is worth the ticket price a hundred times over - they don't forget that stuff.
Constructive feedback for staff: DO NOT loose that focus and passion for your site that is clearly present currently! You have created something wonderful for families - keep going and build on it!!!! My children (and I'm sure hundreds like mine) will have fond memories that will last a lifetime!
10/10 cannot recommend enough!!!
翻译:对孩子们来说,这是无价的小宝藏——员工显然对他们创造的东西有着深厚的热情!当您的孩子说他们宁愿去这里而不是 Chessington 或 Thorpe 公园等地方时,您会感到非常高兴!
给家长的建议:适合特殊教育需求,穿好鞋,带上结实的童车,带上最好的相机,不要害怕让孩子们打扮成公主或海盗,注意活动时间(不要错过魔法),不要忘记防晒霜!
妻子和我带过我们的两个孩子(3 岁和 6 岁)几次,每次当我们突然告诉他们我们要去 Wyvernwood 的消息时,他们几乎都在后空翻上车。
从哪里开始?场地很大,一尘不染——他们花了很多心思建造了各种游乐区(海盗船、弹力枕头、许愿井、帐篷、玉米迷宫、卡丁车、林地步道等)。顺便说一句,木雕很漂亮。
这个地方的故事和传说非常丰富,非常适合孩子们——绝对神奇。
价格(我觉得是合理的,因为是全天的)是全天的价格,没有隐藏费用或每次花费 2 英镑的讨厌的小游乐设施(我觉得这会降低设施的价值)——没有那些破烂。
角色演员或表演者对孩子们很有吸引力——他们从不破坏角色,并竭尽全力娱乐孩子们(Sprocket 是我们的最爱——可怜的小伙子的声音在赛季结束时肯定会受到重击,但他总是让孩子们大惊小怪),甚至管家也不会破坏角色——太棒了!
进行的各种活动时间刚好足以吸引孩子们,让妈妈和爸爸快速喘口气,他们总是在最后得到一些神奇的东西(即使那个东西是一根全新的棍子,已经变成了魔杖)。
脸部彩绘很好——不仅仅是一些微不足道的花朵或眼罩的尝试。
今天我看到一名工作人员(他的工作是监督弹跳垫上的流氓)在烈日下和大约 20 个孩子玩“捉迷藏”和“斗牛犬”游戏超过 40 分钟(工作人员和孩子都玩得很开心)。如果那是另一家机构,你会看到一个年轻的大学生站在那里,表现出一点兴趣都没有,等待休息时间,而你的孩子则被其他不懂如何友好玩耍的孩子不必要地推搡——但这里不是。Jorm(如果我拼错了,抱歉)是那个小伙子的名字;努力程度 11/10 吧,伙计——他在烤面包时,我不得不给他买一瓶冷水;巨大的道具)。
总结:
显然,整个事情已经投入了很多心思、爱和努力——而且它表现出来了。正是这样的设施才值得社区珍惜和支持,因为如今这样的小瑰宝已经很少见了,而且没有“不惜一切代价盈利”和“廉价赚钱机器”的丑陋一面破坏整个体验。这真是一个令人陶醉、神奇的一天,当孩子们受到真正出色的表演者的关注时,他们脸上的表情是无价的回忆,这比票价高出一百倍——他们不会忘记那些东西。
对员工的建设性反馈:不要失去对您的网站的关注和热情,这显然是目前存在的!您为家庭创造了一些美妙的东西——继续努力并在此基础上继续发展!!!!我的孩子们(我相信还有数百个像我一样的孩子)将拥有终生难忘的美好回忆!
10/10 强烈推荐!!!
