FAMILIES don’t have to travel far to visit one of the country’s best attractions.

Cheshire is officially home to the UK’s best theme park for toddlers.

BeWILDerwood earned such title at the UK Theme Park Awards 2024, also picking up the prize for ‘Best Customer Service’ in the small atrractions categories.

Celebrating the news, the park’s head of marketing and media, Lydia Downey, said: “BeWILDerwood is the perfect day out for the whole family as we have a range of activities to suit all.

“But as well as the giant slides and zip wires, we also have special areas for toddlers, including mini slides, sandpits, swings, mini zip wires and all sorts to keep them entertained - which people simply weren’t aware of.”

BeWILDerwood, an outdoor adventure park based on children’s books, has typically attracted slightly older children.

This year the park launched a £10.50 term-time Toddlewood ticket – a reduced rate designed specifically for younger children and their accompanying adult.

“Our new Toddlewood ticket has gone down very well and has allowed families to introduce their children to the magical world of BeWILDerwood from a younger age, without worrying about cost,” said Lydia.

“I think the fact that we’re based on a series of enchanting children’s books and characters also means that smaller children are more prone to engage and be memorised by the magic of the woods.

“They’re usually absolutely enthralled by the live Storytelling Shows and character interactions.

“The mix of play, imagination and being outdoors is the perfect mix for a toddler friendly day out!”

Meanwhile, the Best Customer Service accolade highlights the park’s dedication to providing exceptional experiences for every guest.

Lydia added: “Customer expectations have really increased in the last few years, so to win this award means so much to us as we have put a lot into ensuring everyone who steps into our world has a magical and memorable day.

“We take great pride in delivering top-notch customer service, and this award is a testament to our brilliant team.”
