    Really fun family day out.
    Great day out for the family. We went on a very hot Thursday and it was very busy due to summer holidays. This was our first visit so we didn't know what to expect and queued for rides starting in the Junior Zone which were pretty lengthy. Queues are taking longer than necessary due to only one staff member on most of the rides and they are very slow to let people on and off. The longest queue was in The Viking for just over an hour however it was well worth the wait. All other rides were about 30-40 mins. The food in the restaurant was very good and prices for food and drink in Tayto Park were very reasonable for a tourist attraction. We were only able to get round to half the park however we still enjoyed our visit and children had a brilliant time. Next time we visit we will ensure we arrive at opening time and start off at the other side of the park and work our way back to the entrance.

    A good day out
    I was torn between a 3 or 4 star review but was feeling generous and plumped for four! I brought two ten year old girls and we did have a good day out. I was mostly pleased with the value for money and I would recommend Tayto Park to others. For me and my daughter I think once was probably enough. We are not fans of roller coasters, so our choices were reduced but not limited. There was plenty to do, fairground rides, the zoo, a fab playground, fossetts circus show, … however the amount of queuing was a bit off putting. There were a few other annoying niggles but my biggest gripe and the reason I dropped a star was the Nissan Driving track. It is a good concept and really needed only one extra ingredient, more time on the actual track!!! We queued for 30 minutes for less than 5 minutes on the actual track. Ten minutes at the least on the track would go a long way to justify the queuing. They queued for the same amount of time at the climbing wall and got far longer on the attraction. Other parents expressed similar exasperation. Their favourite attractions were the climbing wall and the monorail. Bringing your own lunch is a good idea. The gift shop wasn’t as overpriced as it could have been. We spent from 10am till 6:30 pm there and I felt we had a really good day out.
