Anker Wood (formerly Plantasia)

Very beautiful place to spend some time with the family. Unfortunately winter times plants are not so attractive and mazes look a bit poor (the reason you get the discounted ticket that time of the year), but once they are green it all looks amazing. Lot of walking around so you can spend there a few hours not being bored.

Great softplay. Decent food and drink menu. Lovely grounds. Wish they were looked after better. But time well spent

Great few hours out for the price , take a picnic blanket and food. The 4 maze's are great fun. Just make sure the weather is good.

A fab place to take the kids!! Didnt use the cafe or soft play as we took our own food. But the animals, lake and walks were really good! Also getting lost around the mazes 🙈

Amazing place for day out with children. A lot things to do. Good cafe. Clean toilets. Value for money👍 Huge garden centre on opposite side like a bonus🤩

All mazes open and well thought out, better than expected. Free to visit when we went July 2022 which was a bonus. Website needs updating to focus on mazes and lake instead of treetop walk and animals.

Brilliant day out for the kids and adults. Plenty to see and do. Good price as well compared with similar places. Will definitely go again

A lovely restaurant that is beautifully decorated. The menu is not your standard menu and gives lots of options especially for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free diners.
The waitresses were polite and very patient whilst my children took their time to decide what they wanted.
The food was well presented and high quality food.

I would recommend, booking is required as its very busy.

A lovely little petting zoo area, Woodlands and next to the river Anker so some nice wetland flora and fauna. It's well maintained and friendly staff, the animals are well cared for too.

Cute place, shame some of it was closed due to flooding. Nice day out in nature :)

Great place to bring kids. Animals all gone now but park open.

Really good place to take children to enjoy everything nature has to offer. Very friendly staff contribute greatly to the experience.

Kids (2yr and 1yr) loved it. Beautiful walk around the woods, saw some little birds, pigs and goats, loads of ducks walking around and huge Koi carp in the pond too. Managed 1 maze before soft play which they enjoyed too. Will definitely be coming back for a wander around, in any weather 😊

We love bringing the children here. Lots of mazes to explore and animals to see. The educational bit inside seems to be having work done on it at the moment.

Best to come here during dry weather as some parts of the grounds get too wet and get closed off. You don't miss out on much, just some of the walks through the woods.

Absolutely love this place and always have an a-maze-ing time (bad dad joke) the six mazes range from easy (circle of stones) to difficult and large with 8ft hedges. The play area is fine for younger kids. There is also a tree top walk and numerous walks to take. The visitor centre is currently under renovation so looking forward to seeing the improvements.

Grait for kids lots to do farm animals are grait

great place to go for a wander and see some of the animals - not too big to be overpowering. The mazes are fun too :) must feed the fish they are really huge! Combine with a visit to the garden centre - if not with kids who want to play in mazes and playground then makes a morning or afternoon trip out. Then pop over to the garden centre while there for some retail therapy

Nice place for kids to run around. It was very quiet when we visited and we loved it! The mazes were well looked after and it was fun for adults and kids. Will come back.

Prebooked my tickets, got striaght in. Sadly the weather was awful the day before so the lady did warn of the muddy ground. I had a pushchair and could still do alot of it.

The animals were adorable and we especially enjoyed the tree top walk.

Will be back again soon

Love this place. Peaceful, plenty space for our kids to play. Really enjoyed the mazes and the den building areas. Lovely to see the farm animals and walk through the wild wood.
