We were there last weekend. There's a little steam train that goes round some little lakes that look like they were gravel pits. The Supakarts were good & my lot lurve the dodgems. There were boats like mini-trawlers, boats like swans and some ring-donut type boats that you go in & get sprayed with water.

We would have been interested in the 00 guage railway but it seemed to be closed. The entrance is inside an arcade. Outside in a shop-window they have 3 layouts you can put 20p in & see the trains moving. One slot was taped up, I put 20p in the second and one train went about 2 foot up the line and 2 foot back (not round and round). I didn't bother putting 20p in the 3rd slot. A bit disappointing really.

It was a bit expensive. If you're going for the day you can get a card that gives you so many goes on everything. If you're just stopping off you have to get tokens to go on the rides. £1 - 2 tokens, I think. Rides seemed to be 2, 3 or 4 tokens.

The whole place is a bit strange. Sort of 1950's-ish, a bit Hi-de-hi, if you know what I mean:-)

Haven't been to the Newton Abbot one, nor to Liskeard, but have been to the one in Falmouth.
