Loads for the kids to do, play trail and two larger play areas. There is a go ape here also. Has a great cafe for snacks, lunch and drinks. Nice walks through woodlands with a couple of large fields.
We live the play trails! Out 3.5 yo enjoys exploring in the woods and finding bits to climb on and slide down. A particular favourite spot on a quiet day is behind the main play area as there are lots of squirrels!
The short play trail is great for preschool children, and the playgrounds are nice. One for preschool ages and a second for slightly older children. There has been some recent additions to the play trail in the last few months which is nice. The cafe has been refurbished and now has a lovely indoor play area which is great if you are waiting for food. Unfortunately few tables are in sight of thks play area and some parents feel they can let their children play unsupervised. As expected, these are the particular feral children, like the one who spat in my sons face because my son was playing on the thing he wanted to go on. But not the fault of the country park, just be aware that these are the type of visitors it may attract! Food in cafe reasonable but not very inspired. Toilets clean. Parking is 2.50 for 2 hours. Parking is good as you can either pay and display or pay on exit so if you end up staying shorter or longer than expected then you haven't wasted parking or needed to put another ticket on.
Went to Itchen Valley to the Go Ape Junior for a birthday party, kids had a great time. Staff were brilliant, polite and friendly with the adults and kids alike. Could do with some toilets closer to that end of the park, but otherwise it's a great place for a family day out.
lovely woodland walks, play equipment suitable for a range of ages. parking not too expensive. convenient cafe, which offers gluten free options; HOWEVER disappointed that when I asked if the soup was gluten free and ordered this; it came with a bread roll which was not; I checked with the server before eating it; and was told as I didn't specifically ask if the bread roll was gluten free it was not their fault. NOTE; they do have gluten free bread available in the freezer; but I was told by her at this point there was no point as my soup would be finished by the time it was prepared. (an apology and a note to ask for all parts of the meal to be gluten free when ordering would have been enough!!)
