Fantastic evening My sister, nephew, and niece visited sky park recently for the lights experience and we had a fantastic evening. The park is easy get around, beautifully lit and nice walking paths for buggy's and small children. We went on the little train, spent ages in the bouncing nets, definitely a highlight for us. The kids didn't want to leave and we lost each other numerous times in the fantastic maze. We got a discount as part of Rory travel and it made the evening very affordable and fun when other events are out of our price range.

Magical for the kid Visited with the family 4 year olds and 7 year old. The kids absolutely loved it. There was a map for kids to find clues to get a treat at the end, there was face painting, small train ride, a maze which was very hard for an adult ? there was a massive trampoline tower and smaller ones at the end there was a place for kids to toast marshmallows and have food and coffees there was a place for kids to write wishes and post them. All this and then there is the spectacular lights on show. It’s a must if you want to give the kids a magical experience. Well worth the visit

Love the sky net and the maze and face painting and also the wee dome that you get your picture took and post the letter (kids loved that ). Staff all super friendly and really helpful any time we needed them, the crepes where super nice and kids loved the s'mores by the fire ,Magical experience for all the family will all definitely be back soon ?

Loved it! Family of four, 2 boys, 16&13, had a great time chasing each other through the labyrinth and bouncing each other higher on the sky net. The light walk was bigger and better than last year, the mythical music playing all through the grounds really added to the atmosphere, only thing was you couldn't then hear the smaller speakers telling the story of each light creature, but you could still read it. Some interactive lights would be a fabulous addition to keep the older kids engaged. The roasted marshmallows is a fabulous treat.Bring gloves.

Great experience for kids There was plenty for kids to do with face painting included in the price. The maze was brilliant trying to find the way out. Food was reasonably priced and you could cook your marshmallows over the fire. A brilliant experience for kids. Would highly recommend it.
