I've seen lots of negative reviews lately for Willen Lake because of the price of the attractions and parking, to be honest we think they are really reasonable for a cheap day out, but then we only have 1 child. If we had more, maybe we'd notice the pinch a bit more.
After a lovely ride around the lake, a bounce on the bouncy castle and a good 20 mins in the play area, we headed to the Turbo peddlers.
T was kitted out with a well fitting life jacket, the staff in the water centre we really great and made him feel really grown up.
The turbo peddlers are sectioned off for safety in a shallow area of the lake, the gentleman running the ride was able to swiftly get into the water if needed which was only waist high to him.
He went through a few rules and instructions with T and he was off!
T really enjoyed this ride and felt very grown up being about to go in by himself, because he got the knack quite quickly, he did spend a lot of time going round in circles in the small area, which is why the 15 minute session was just perfect for him.
The 15 minute session is £3 and this was plenty for T, for £5 you can also get a 30 minute session, although I think this would have been too long for T, maybe if he had a friend in there too, that might have been a better option. They are suitable from the age of 3 and weigh up to 32kg.
Parking: £3 all day
Turbo racer: £3 for 15 minutes
We'd love to know your opinion if you've been to Willen Lake, Lx
