Had great fun yesterday with the kids, reasonably quiet on the friday afternoon, with some queueing for the zip line and the beamed 2 person swing (you will know it when you see it). The slides were very high and made me a bit nervous with the kids climbing it, but there were no incidents while we were there. All the sculpture trail looked very well maintained and the kids loved it. Unfortunatly the high maintenence meant that two of the sculptures were closed, one being completly missing. Obviously sites need maintaining, but it was unfortunate this was during the summer holiday.

Took the grandchildren aged 3 and 5 and they loved it. Spent so long on each thing we've got to go back. Really recommend it and wish it was nearer so as we could go more often.

we come to high lodge regularly and are season ticket holders which is great value for money. our children are 3 and 5 years and absolutely love the sculpture trail, tho there is only really one area that my 3 year old is big enough for - would like more as he gets frustrated waiting for his sister. only have to queue for the zip slide and the birds nest swing, but lots of other activities to do. great place for children to get exercise and be outdoors having fun, the equipment is safe and well maintained.
