    Lovely country walk with a lot of Babary macaques to see! The feeding talk was very informative about the monkeys and you can go round as much as you like. We were very lucky with the weather!

    Have lived nearby for almost 20 years and have never been, so decided to visit with my 11 and 8 year old and 10 year old neice.
    The girls loved the spooky cauldron pot making and the woman running it was just wonderful.

    Great exhibits and very informative. Every staff member we met was friendly and knowledgeable.

    Sadly the cafe was not serving hot food so we can't comment on the cafe.

    Overall spent a lovely couple of hours and will definitely visit again

    Lovely place to visit. I try to go every week for a lovely walk around the lake and the Italian Gardens, with a stop for a delicious cappuccino in one of the cafes inside the gardens. There’s always lots of interesting plants and wildlife to see and I enjoy observing the changing seasons. I particularly love the Spring bulb festival but there is lots to see all year round. We often stop to chat to the lovely staff working in the gardens. Day tickets are a bit expensive but the annual pass is fantastic value.

    We had such an enjoyable time at the museum that I wanted to thank the staff and thought I could do so by writing a review. I just looked at some of the more recent reviews and would echo their thoughts. I think the Staffordshire Hoard was beautifully displayed, loved seeing the Spitfire, and couldn't believe how good the art collection is - obviously a good collection of local artists' works but also to have a Rodin sculpture on display next to one by Jacob Epstein was mind blowing. And coffee on arrival in the cafe encouraged us to return later for lunch. Staff were as friendly and professional as I've ever encountered and the coffee particularly good. And to make it even better, prices were reasonable. We had a great day out.

    Came to this national trust property and gardens as we were in the area, I have to say this is one of the more interesting gardens I have visited the vista changes at every turn which makes exploring the gardens very interesting. Walks are easy. The main part of the house is still a private residence but this does not detract from the visit. We came in march the ground was wet from all the rain but will be get better as the flowers and trees bloom burning spring/summer months

    Waterworld is a perfect family day out with an extraordinary amount of attractions, which are all unique and fun. There is a children’s area, which is perfect for the younger audience who wouldn’t appreciate the bigger rides. There are a range of flumes and a wave pool, rapids and hot tubs etc. However, we have been multiple times and recently there has been a decline in the hygiene of the place as the water seemed dirtier than usual and the food area was not looked after. The food is decent and the staff are very friendly. Another issue, is there seems to always be an issue with a few rides whenever we go, consistently being closed and reopened. Despite this, the kids love it and it truly is an amazing place and the best water park I have been to. The changing rooms are very busy, but the lockers are secure and there are lots of available showers and stalls. There is a 3 hour slot, however if you go off peak like us we were able to stay the whole day, which exceeded our expectations and made the trip worth it. The queues for the rides are not long at all and we were able to go on every ride multiple times. The tropical aspect to the place is very edgy and makes it seem very surreal and magical for the children. Would recommend but was slightly disappointed with the hygiene issue.

    Had such a laugh getting dragged into the mud and trying to persuade a strong alpaca away from a tasty load of grass. Your arms will ache but they are lovely boys to take for a walk.

    What a great place to visit. All the shops are very quaint and loads of choice. Didn't get there earlier enough to make the most of the place, so I'm looking forward to going back to see more. Had a lovely tea and cake in the café in Trentham Home and Garden.

    We booked tickets for An Audience With Lucy Worsley On Agatha Christie.
    A very enjoyable performance.
    A beautiful theatre once your inside over three floors. There was I believe bars and most definitely toilets on each floor. Ladies head to the top no queues!

    The queues at the bars were busy with a poor selection of alcohol free drinks and expensive.

    Staff were lovely and helpful. We sat in seats 27 and 28 DD a good view of the stage.

    If you are planning on eating beforehand, book a table somewhere. We had to resort to a Spoons which was fine.

    Went here with my partner and his mum for her Mother’s Day gift and this did not disappoint. Went for the guided tour and you are greeted with this great atmosphere, ready to go for the tour.

    This was very informative and so interesting with the memorabilia and the different rooms for different themes. It was great to see in person as there was so much to look at. I love the interactive elements playing the games, felt you were part of it.

    This is great if you are a horror fan and would recommend it :D

    Have visited this park many times. It's a pleasure to ride around on a bike, or to walk round. There are plenty of seats. Very different bushes and trees too.

    We enjoyed a lovely walk round the lake and we enjoyed a spot of lunch too. Picked a nice day to visit, a sunny day in September.
