Audley End Miniature Railway And Enchanted Fairy And Elf Walk

Very well thought through and laid out family attraction, including miniature steam train, fairy walk and outdoor playground. Went with friends who recommended booking to make sure you got the train time and type you wanted. On the train you go on a ride through some woods with fun little dioramas along the way. Make sure you check your guidebook so you can tick them off as you go. Once we got back we were guided towards the fairy walk which has a surprising number of little friends to check off as you go. There was also a nicely thought through craft activity which was no extra cost. Don't skip out on the nature corner, there's plenty there to keep young minds entertained for a little while too. The playground is extensive with a good variety of playthings, all of which suit the various themes really nicely. Down sides service in the cafe was really slow and staff looked like they could have done with a hand. We went just out of holiday season, which meant there was stuff on the map that kids could see but couldn't do, which lead to a bit of crossness. Whilst there is cover for eating, this is very much an outdoor affair, so very weather dependent. All in all, we absolutely loved it, and would absolutely go again. In fact, if we loved anywhere near I'm certain we'd have a season ticket.

What a lovely day out! Took our 7 year old son and thought he wouldn’t be interested in the fairies but he loved finding them all and marking them off in the book. Train ride was good and he really enjoyed the bubbles and play area.

It was an amazing and magical experience. I can say that i enjoyed it as much as my daughters. Definitely a must visit place. The staff were incredibly nice, the whole place was magical, the train ride was amazing and you had a lot to see during the ride. After the ride you experienced the magic by walking. There were a lot of places to sit and relax, having a drink while kids were playing

What a stunning place this is to visit. Truly magical. Some amazing hard work has gone into the creation and upkeep of this beautiful place. Fully accessible and spotlessly clean. The wonderfully kind staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. We had the most wonderful day. Thank you so very much. If you haven’t booked tickets yet, do it! You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely railway and craft event. The fairies were intricately displayed and the playground is amazing. The weather was not quite on our side but we still had a lovely day. Think it was slightly overpriced for what is, it would have been better to have 2 loops on the train to make it better value for money. That said, it's a beautiful setting, ample parking and the kids loved it.
