This family's experience:

Activities: We had a really nice family day out at Pensthorpe Natural Park. We explored 700 acres of land and 4 miles of trails and gardens, finding different creatures. We went on a Sunday and the weather was wonderful. We also visited the outdoor park

Highlights: We loved how much there is to do for the whole family. The views are absolutely stunning. "Erin loved running around and finding all of the different creatures there was." The outdoor park was probably the best park we've ever seen ✨
