Crealy Adventure Park, Devon > Reviews (7)

There are 2 Crealy Adventure Parks, one based in Cornwall and the one we visited in Devon. For the purpose of this review I will be concentrating on the Devon Crealy.
-Opening hours are 10am-6pm
-Prices are £10.95 on the gate or £9.95 online, it is slightly cheaper when there are 4 or more people or for Seniors. Children under 92cm tall get in for free. If you visit during the school holidays you can get a wristband which entitles you to a free next day return.

Anyway, back to my review.
We took my 7 year old neice to Crealy this week as I had been recommended it by a friend. Now it's no Alton Towers or Thorpe Park, but it's still pretty good for a family day out. I would say it is mainly aimed at 3-12 years.

There are 6 'realms' to visit:-

Adventure Realm-
Tidal Wave Terror, a 40ft high log flume, please put all children in the front and make sure you sit the furthest back. I didn't and while my neice stayed perfectly dry at the back, I was drenched from head to toe!
El loco rollercoaster, a wild west style runaway train. Quite fast and got my neice screaming.
Carousel, 100 years old.
Meteorite, a ride that just goes up and down whilst leaving your stomach firmly attached to the floor.
Pirate Ship, swings to and fro making you feel quite sick when looking down.
A HUGE indoor play zone, kept my neice entertained while it rained for an hour, there is a cafe for the parents which sell various meals but beware they charge 50p for a small sachet of ketchup!
There is more but these are the best.

Animal Realm-
Including a petting zoo with rabbits, ferrets etc.
Pony stables which you can also ride.

Action Realm-
Techno-Karts, these weren't actually running the day we went due to the weather.
Water wars, battle against friends with a sling-shot and water balloon.
Bumper boats, my neice loved it!

Magic Realm-
This is an indoor baby and toddler play area, they have the soft play areas with ball pools, slides, a small climbing frame.
A carousel with proper seats so its nice and safe.
An outdoor mini village so they can play in the little houses, shop, pub etc.
A sand pit which was a bit wet on the day so we didn't go in it.

Natural Realm-
100 acres of nature trails, fields for picnics/football etc.
A train ride that takes you round the park, stopping at 'Dragonfly lake' containing ducks and geese.
A river raiders challenge.
Again we didn't really look too much at all this as the weather was bad.

Farming Realm-
Feed the lambs and kids.
Play with piglets.
Milk a cow.

There is an outdoor play parkin addition to all this, which anyone who grew up in this area will have heard of. The 'death slide' is pretty notorious and great fun! The nomal slides come in 2 heights so good for the younger, less brave children (or adults), also including climbing frames an swings.

The park is set out well and you are given a map when you first go in, so finding your way round is easy. There are plenty of kiosks selling food and drinks at reasonable prices. It is clean and tidy with plenty of bins. It is a great day out and will be going there on a regular basis once my son is old enough.
