The village itself does need a little more care and attention, they had a bad winter to contend with and I think this suffered due to this, it tales about an hour to go around and do the quiz, the paths are a little narrow for an Adult wheelchair but there is plenty to look at, make sure you get...

Three of us visited for an Easter treat, disappointed to say the least. The assistant at the start of the visit was unenthusiastic and didn't ask or suggest anything to us to welcome us to Blackpool. Models are very dated and quite dull and drab in colour. Surrounding land was a little unkept and bare . There is a pond... More

All of the models are in need of lots of attention. Some are rotting, most have flaky paint etc. The detail level is extremely poor throughout and no thought has been given to the layout, it's just a random collection of amatuer standard models right next to the main road. Felt very ripped off for the price, especially when they... More

Loved it. all though half of it was closed off. but got the price slashed a bit. you were given a booklet with the directions and some questions on it too do along the way round. some off the handcrafted figures were amazing, the detail was fantastic.

Visited this attraction, the good thing about it is you get a quiz to fill in whilst one walks round. The only problem with this is that one has a tendency to concentrate on the next question and missing out on some of the display, however give the quiz a try and take your time and enjoy the wonderful displays....

This model village was so well built with so much attention to detail. The gardens in which it was set were leafy and relaxing with the sound of the gurgling stream. Well worth seeing both for children and adults.
