Lovely Christmas Break
Gulliver's World - Warrington的点评
点评：We booked the Santa Sleepover for Thursday evening in to Friday. The package was good value, including entry to the Land of Lights, an overnight stay in a Western Lodge, breakfast and a show in the morning, theme park entry and the Santa visit. We had to swap the date due to my husband's work and this was simple enough to do over the phone, although we weren't sent an updated booking confirmation (I could see the change had been made via the "Manage My Booking" link).
We arrived at 4pm, checked in and took our luggage to our lodge, then headed out to the Land of Lights, which took you through various areas of the park lit with dozens of impressive displays. The paths are pushchair/wheelchair friendly and not muddy, which is a bonus (we have been to a similar event at a large park and it was very muddy!) I'm not sure if it's because we booked a package, but on the route we noticed marshmallow toasting stations and a selection of rides operating, and were told these needed to be pre-booked? I didn't receive any information about this prior to our visit, it isn't in the FAQs online and it wasn't mentioned on the gates (and it wasn't at all busy so there was plenty of opportunity to up-sell when we arrived!). By the time we realised, we were half way around and weren't going to walk all the way back to the beginning, so the kids were a bit disappointed, although thankfully not for long. The food court area had a good selection of food and drink options, prices weren't too bad (we had Burgers, German sausage and a Yorkshire pudding wrap, loaded fries, crumble and custard, muffins and hot drinks). Although everything appeared to be steaming in the trays, it wasn't very hot. Hard to tell if it just cooled very quickly once served as it was very cold out, or if it wasn't being kept at the correct temperature, though it did mean we could eat quickly and get going as it was a bit chilly standing still! We had a mulled wine back in the hotel bar and then missed the evening entertainment in favour of a family movie night in the Lodge.
The Lodge appeared quite modern, we had 3 bedrooms (1 double & 2 twin) and a large, comfortable seating area, plenty of clean towels and bedding and smart TV in the lounge plus small TVs in the bedrooms (though there were no remotes for these). It was warm enough inside despite it dropping to around 5° overnight, though we needed the fire on in the lounge as the radiator wasn't sufficient for that large area. Kitchen equipment basic but fine for a simple meal. Overall the accommodation didn't meet out expectations, and I've put a separate review on the hotel page regarding this.
In the morning, we were allocated "breakfast and a show" a 10.45am (anyone elses kids happy to wait til 10.45am for breakfast? Mine were up at half 6!). Instead, we took breakfast to eat in our lodge (none of us fancied sausage butties anyway) and skipped the show in favour of extra time on the rides, which were all up and running when we arrived at 10.15am (aside from Antelope which opened at about 11am). This was the best part of our experience thanks to the weather. As it was dry and bright, and the park was so quiet (perhaps everyone was at the show?), we didn't queue long for any of the rides, and lots we walked straight on to (although we did get wet bottoms on a couple being the first on). Antelope went round 3x as no one else came to queue in the interim! Some of the areas, including the part allocated for the Land of Lights, was closed off, so we had been on most of the available rides before we went to see Santa, which was fortunate as rain was forecast for the afternoon.
The Santa Steam Train experience was OK, we arrived a bit early for our 11.30am slot and were allowed through with no issues. The train ride was cute but there were storage and maintenance areas left open on the route and lots of the permanent figures had faded and peeling paint. Kids didn't notice but it made it feel a bit tatty. There's a bit of a walk through some illuminated and singing figures, then the "magic elevator" (which my two quickly realised wasn't actually moving 😅) then a short queue to see the big man himself. I think there were a few Santas as the queue moved quickly. Ours was quite clearly not old and though he tried, the exchange was a bit awkward. He did take a nice photos of us (took 3 so we had options), and we went through to the workshop so the kids could choose a toy. I think at 10 and 8, my two are a bit old for the toys available, although they'd had a ball on the rides so I don't think they were too bothered.
Do beware though that if you take any photos whilst you're in with Santa, he won't take one for you. Someone came over to enquire as to why they didn't have the opportunity for a photo whilst we were paying for ours, only to be told (not particularly politely) that if they'd taken their own, he wouldn't have offered. Although it didn't affect us directly, it felt a bit underhand, having this policy but not making people aware before hand. We encountered plenty of Elves on the route who could've let people know to avoid this scenario. Those guests were quite disgruntled when they left.
We came out in the Lost World, so we did another couple of rides, dropped the presents off at the car and went in to Lagados for lunch. This is marketed as a separate/independent restaurant but it's in a Gulliver's theme diner so it's not as posh as it sounds! Take away type food in cardboard trays, although everything we had was nice and it wasn't overly expensive. At this point, it had started to rain and was forecast for the rest of the afternoon, so we had a walk back to Lost World and did a couple of the under cover rides, and the kids had a go at roller skating on the way out. We left around 2pm
Overall, we had a lovely time and felt the value for money was good. In the December rush, we don't always get as much time together as a family so this fit the bill and provided lovely family memories. I felt that information and organisation could've been better. We like to plan trips like this to make sure we get the most out of them, but find generally with Gulliver's that information can be really vague and sometimes incorrect. This isn't ideal when you have ND children and need to make accommodations for them. I probably echo a lot of other reviews regarding the park being a bit tired, although work was ongoing to provide some new rides in the "Land of Oz" so hopefully some of the other areas will have a bit of a face-lift in the closed season too. Our accommodation experience was disappointing and I would think twice before coming back for an overnight, though we will be back at some point as our kids love the rides at Gulliver's.

翻译：我们预订了周四晚上到周五的圣诞老人过夜活动。套餐很超值，包括进入灯光之地、在 Western Lodge 过夜、早餐和早上的表演、主题公园门票和圣诞老人参观。由于我丈夫的工作，我们不得不更改日期，这很容易通过电话完成，尽管我们没有收到更新的预订确认（我可以通过“管理我的预订”链接看到更改）。
我们下午 4 点到达，办理入住手续并将行李带到我们的小屋，然后前往灯光之地，带您穿过公园的各个区域，那里有数十个令人印象深刻的展示。这些路径适合婴儿车/轮椅通行，而且不泥泞，这是一个额外的好处（我们去过一个大型公园参加过类似的活动，那里非常泥泞！）我不确定是不是因为我们预订了套餐，但在路线上我们注意到了棉花糖烤站和各种游乐设施，并被告知这些需要提前预订？在我们参观之前我没有收到任何关于这方面的信息，网上的常见问题解答中没有提到，大门上也没有提到（而且那里一点也不忙，所以当我们到达时有很多机会可以推销！）。当我们意识到这一点时，我们已经走了一半的路程，不能再一路走回起点了，所以孩子们有点失望，不过谢天谢地，失望并没有持续太久。美食广场有很多食物和饮料可供选择，价格也不错（我们吃了汉堡、德国香肠和约克郡布丁卷、薯条、酥皮蛋奶糊、松饼和热饮）。虽然托盘里的所有东西似乎都在冒热气，但并不是很热。很难说是因为外面很冷，所以上桌后很快就凉了，还是温度没有保持在正确的水平，不过这确实意味着我们可以快速吃完然后离开，因为站着还是有点冷！我们在酒店酒吧喝了一杯热红酒，然后错过了晚间娱乐活动，而是选择在小屋里看家庭电影。
小屋看起来相当现代，我们有 3 间卧室（1 张双人床和 2 张单人床）和一个宽敞舒适的休息区，有很多干净的毛巾和床上用品，休息室有智能电视，卧室里还有小电视（虽然没有遥控器）。尽管夜间温度降到了 5° 左右，但里面还是足够温暖，不过我们需要在休息室里点火，因为暖气不够用，那么大的区域。厨房设备很基本，但吃一顿简单的饭还行。总的来说，住宿没有达到我们的期望，我在酒店页面上就此发表了单独的评论。
早上，我们被分配了 10:45 的“早餐和表演”（还有其他孩子愿意等到 10:45 吃早餐吗？我的孩子 6 点半就起床了！）。相反，我们把早餐带回了小屋吃（反正我们都不喜欢吃香肠三明治），没有去看表演，而是多玩了一会儿游乐设施。我们到达时是上午 10:15，所有游乐设施都已开始运行（羚羊除外，大约上午 11:00 开放）。由于天气好，这是我们体验中最棒的部分。由于天气干燥明亮，公园非常安静（也许大家都去看表演了？），我们没有排很长的队，很多游乐设施都是我们直接走上去的（虽然我们第一次上去的时候，有几个游乐设施的屁股湿了）。羚羊游乐设施转了 3 圈，因为中间没有其他人来排队！一些区域，包括分配给光之国的部分，都关闭了，所以我们在去看圣诞老人之前已经玩了大部分可用的游乐设施，幸运的是，天气预报说下午会下雨。
圣诞老人蒸汽火车的体验还不错，我们比 11:30 的时段早到了一点，但没遇到任何问题就被允许通过了。火车之旅很可爱，但沿途有存储和维护区域开放，许多永久性人物雕像已经褪色和油漆剥落。孩子们没有注意到，但这让感觉有点破旧。穿过一些发光和唱歌的人物雕像需要走一小段路，然后是“魔法电梯”（我的两个很快意识到它实际上并没有移动 😅），然后是一条短队，可以看到大个子本人。我认为队伍移动得很快，所以有几个圣诞老人。我们的圣诞老人显然不老，虽然他努力了，但交流有点尴尬。他确实给我们拍了漂亮的照片（拍了 3 张，这样我们就有选择了），我们去了工作室，让孩子们选择一个玩具。我认为我两个孩子 10 岁和 8 岁，对于可用的玩具来说有点老了，尽管他们在游乐设施上玩得很开心，所以我认为他们不太在意。
不过要当心，如果你在圣诞老人身边拍照，他不会帮你拍照。有人过来询问为什么在我们付钱的时候他们没有机会拍照，结果被告知（不是特别礼貌）如果他们自己拍照，他不会主动提出。虽然这并没有直接影响到我们，但感觉有点卑鄙，有这个政策，但没有提前告知人们。我们在途中遇到了很多精灵，他们本可以让人们知道以避免这种情况。那些客人离开时非常不满。
我们从失落的世界出来，所以我们又玩了几次游乐设施，把礼物放在车上，然后去拉加多斯吃午饭。这家餐厅被宣传为一家独立的餐厅，但它位于格列佛主题餐厅内，所以并不像听起来那么豪华！外卖食品放在纸板托盘里，虽然我们吃的每样东西都很好，而且价格也不算太贵。这时，天开始下雨了，预计下午剩下的时间都会下雨，所以我们步行回到失落的世界，玩了几次有遮盖的游乐设施，孩子们在出去的路上玩了轮滑。我们下午 2 点左右离开
总的来说，我们玩得很开心，觉得物有所值。在十二月的繁忙时期，我们一家人在一起的时间并不多，所以这个公园很合适，也留下了美好的家庭回忆。我觉得信息和组织可以做得更好。我们喜欢计划这样的旅行，以确保我们能从中获得最大的收获，但发现格列佛的信息通常非常模糊，有时甚至不正确。当你有 ND 孩子并需要为他们提供住宿时，这并不理想。我可能赞同很多其他评论，认为公园有点陈旧，尽管正在努力在“绿野仙踪”提供一些新的游乐设施，所以希望在休园期间其他一些地区也能有一些改头换面。我们的住宿体验令人失望，我会再三考虑是否再回来过夜，不过我们会在某个时候回来，因为我们的孩子喜欢格列佛的游乐设施。
