    5 Stars Family Fun at Flambards 14/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages So much history to see

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ticket prices are steep

    Me and my partner visited Flambards last summer because we were on holiday close by. I visited Flambards as a kid and from what I can remember I had a fab time so I was keen to go again. We were also both sucked in by the Britain in the Blitz feature, amongst other things. *Location and Directions* Flambards is located just outside the Cornish town of Helston. It is about 15 miles from Newquay and 10 miles from Hayle. To get there, you simply head to Helston and then follow the brown signs. There were plenty of brown signs and the park was easy to find. We used our sat nav but the postcode ... more

    2 Stars The Flambards Experience where experience tells you not to go 25/11/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Exhibitions, play areas, rides

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too confusing, tries to do too much without achieving anything

    I have now visited Flambards on two separate occasions, the first about six years ago and the latter earlier this year with my wife, and her two children (16 and 27). I had hoped that six years on, that the experience would have improved but alas no. Flambards is located near Helston close to the edge of Cornwall within reach of The Lizard, Land’s End and the main town in the area – Penzance. Standard admission price is £21.95 for adults and £13.95 (from 3 to 15 year olds) and there are various discounts for families and a 5 day return allowing free entry on exit for the following 5 days ... more

    5 Stars The Flambards Experience 04/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You can use Tesco vouchers, good rides, nice gardens, musuems

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to pay extra for crazy golf and go karts, but the majority of rides including log flumes are free

    I went here in August with my husband, 6 year old twins and 9 year old daugther and everyone enjoyed themselves. You can use Tesco vouchers which makes it a very cheap day out on holiday. It would have cost us £50.00 for a family ticket of 5 but we only had to use £12.50 of Tesco vouchers and these are 4 times the value using them for a day out. There is a wide range of prices for this theme park, you can look on their website for the current prices but at the moment they are: £12.50 per adult. £ 9.55 per child. £6.95 for a senior. You can get a family saver ticket that we did for instance for ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Food can be quite expenssive

    I love Flambards, its great family day out not just for the kids has a brilliant musems and attractions not just a fun fair! we had a really good time hear with plenty to do.
