AN often-overlooked theme park in the UK has been dubbed the best staycation destination for families – and is like going back in time.
Sundown Adventureland, in Nottinghamshire, has been raved about by a number of TikTok mums.
Jade, who runs the @our.rural.life on TikTok called the resort the “most family friendly UK staycation” for young children thanks to his fancy cabins and retro theme park.
The Crash Landings soft play area itself is huge, jungle-themed, is over four storeys high with the way down being on one of the three slides.
Inside there’s also a newly extended cafe with hot food, snacks, drinks, and wine, according to Jade.
In the on-site theme park, there are over 30 rides and attractions.
From the Giddy Piggies to the Jolly Pirate Boat Ride to Robin Hood’s Merry Adventure – the whole park is designed for children under ten.
The Lillipoppet Castle is a huge, sweet-inspired castle, and it even smells of liquorice when you go inside – there’s also an ice cream centrepiece.
Storybook Village is based on popular fairytales, think Humpty Dumpty and the Three Little Pigs, where children’s imaginations can run wild.
In addition to the variety of rides, there are also eight themed play areas including Shotgun City, a wild west town.
Fans of Westerns will enjoy the traditional saloon, complete with an animatronic sing-song show.
Other attractions include The Rocky Mountain Train Ride and a Shooting Gallery.
Mum Jade raved about the the “spacious lodges” and “optional hot tub” that guests can stay in on-site at the Wild Acre Village.
She was also impressed with the extended opening hours of the soft play area, which has an opening time of 8am and a 9pm closing time in the summer months.
The park was also been recognised by TripAdvisor in their Travelers’ Choice Awards for 2024.
The ratings for Sundown Adventureland on TripAdvisor are an overall score of 4.5/5 with over 1,700 reviews.
One visitor said it was a very nostalgic experience, saying it was like “stepping right back into the 90’s/00’s – it was exactly like I remembered!”
Another agreed adding it was “largely unchanged” since they were a child in the early noughties.
Daily tickets for Sundown Adventureland are free for any child under 90cm.
For anyone over that height, the price varies from £16.50-£20 depending on the date and time of visiting.
Sundown Adventureland also offers special discounts for anyone with a services or blue light card, with a discounted ticket price of £10 (on certain dates).
They have discounted tickets on both Mother’s Day weekend and Father’s Day weekend.
For anyone wanting to spend more than a day at the park, you can book a stay at the Wild Acre Village which has cabins sleeping up to 10 people.
Prices start at £299 for a three night break and park tickets included in the price.
For other play inspiration, here is the world’s tallest play structure in the UK.
And another that has the ‘best kids’ place ever with a huge indoor play centre.
With warm weather approaching these are the perfect playgrounds to visit...

The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground

The Lost Castle Adventure Playground, Lake District
In the Lake District, you’ll find The Lost Castle Adventure Playground – and it’s literally set in the grounds of a ruined castle. Set within the ruins of Lowther Castle this is one of the largest playgrounds in the country with towers, slides, tunnels, bridges, zip wires, firepoles, sand pits, swings, rope bridges and climbing nets. You can take wheelchairs and pushchairs up onto the main castle play area too.

A cat cruelly thrown “to her death” from a 130ft viewing platform by a sadistic tourist has been miraculously found alive.
Appalling footage shows the moment the cat was thrown from an observation deck over the walls of Swallow’s Nest, a castle in Russian-occupied Crimea.
A Russian tourist named Dmitry, 24, from St Petersburg has been detained for the act of animal cruelty.
Dmitry confessed to hurling the cat over the edge of the castle walls.
The footage shows him swinging his arm to throw the cat, with the rocks and sea below.
It was assumed the castle cat had been killed, as it seemed impossible she could have survived such a fall.
On the third day of searches, footage emerged showing Musya alive and on her feet on the rocks against all the odds.
Volunteers tried to rescue the frightened cat by boat, but were not able to reach her.
Instead climbers were called in to save the ten-year-old animal, according to a report.
Musya is not seriously injured but has been taken to the vets to be checked.
The rescuers said that the cat will recover with a volunteer before deciding if she will return to live in the castle.
After being detained Dmitri said: “I arrived at Swallow’s Nest [castle] and bought a pie.
“A cat approached me.
“She started walking around my legs, obstructing the path, and she scratched me when I took her in my hands.
“I grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and threw her.”
Asked why he threw the cat, he said: “She started to resist, to break free [from my hands]….
“She probably didn’t like that I picked her up.”
When asked why he threw her, Dmitry said: “Because she started to break free.”
The cruel tourist claimed not to know that he should have known to let the helpless cat go.
He is now reported to be under observation in a Russian medical facility.
Earlier Dmitry had hitchhiked to Crimea from St Petersburg on a solo vacation.
Swallows Nest castle was built in 1911 during the Tsarist era and is a popular tourist attraction.
MARRIED At First Sight’s relationship experts have sparked a huge show mystery after the reunion episode aired.
Paul Carrick Brunson, 50, Charlene Douglas, 43, and Mel Schilling, 53, are at the heart of the debate – despite the explosive aftermath of the E4 special.
The Married At First Sight alum braving the reunion included Adam Nightingale, Amy Kenyon, Holly Ditchfield, Lacey Martin, Nathan Campbell, Kieran Chapman and Kristina Goodsell.
They were joined by other series nine contestants Hannah Norburn, Orson Nurse, Sacha Jones and Sionnain Carmichael.
In addition, a number of 2023 stars were also in attendance, with the likes of Ella Morgan, Erica Roberts, Tasha Jay, Paul Liba, Matt Pilmoor and Shona Manderson.
Yet despite a slew of drama – which saw Lacey break down in tears after claims her relationship was a showmance – the panel have not yet spoken out.
At the time of writing none of the judges – who used their expert skills to match the couples together – commented publicly on social media.
Paul’s latest Instagram Story centred on his We Need To Talk podcast.
While Charlene re-posted preview clips for the series, she said nothing in the aftermath of the actual show.
Aussie Mel did take to Instagram – but posted a preview for her sort and declutter session with a professional organising service – so nothing about the matchmaking series at all.
Yet while it has been quiet from the panel, the stars themselves have not shied away from speaking out.
Many MAFS stars have taken to TikTok to clap back at Nathan after he exposed his “showmance” with Lacey.
Sacha Jones also revealed what really happened when Lacey stormed off.
Kieran also called out the series – and said he had “got my life back now.”
It came after one fan favourite bride appeared to mock the series after being snubbed from the reunion invite list.
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
Despite the bulk of the attendees coming from the 2024 season, Emma Barnes missed out.
The Bristol lass swiftly became a fan-favourite last year as her rollercoaster relationship with Caspar played out.
Yet after being snubbed of a reunion invite, she took to Instagram to post a signature witty video.
It saw the TV show play out on a screen behind her with a cut out of Emma’s head.
The scene culminated when a cartoon voice said she was “Not flipping invited.”
Emma posted the scenes with the caption: “Heheh xx”
As well as Emma, Polly, Luke and Ross from last year’s show also missed out.

Our Sun Shopping tester put the Ryobi cordless stick vacuum kit through its paces to see if it really held up in a three-pet household and this is what she thought.
Sun Shopping tester Lisa Burns put the Ryobi One+ to the test in her home, here's her verdict...
It’s been a while since I’ve used a cordless vacuum and I’d forgotten how handy they are; it’s a dream not to tie yourself up in knots with the cable.
Ryobi claims a full charge lasts around 40 minutes on eco mode and I would vouch for that; I was amazed at how much I got done before the battery ran out.
Even in my three-pet household, the floors looked cleaner and the aged carpet looked more fluffed up.
One great thing about this cordless vacuum is it stands up on its own. Most cordless vacuums I’ve encountered don’t, and it can be a pain having to try and balance them against walls or cupboards so that they don’t fall over.
I also loved how easy it was to convert the cleaner to a handheld, as well as the power it has. It may sound a bit over the top but I almost squealed with delight at how well it sucked up dog hair from the stairs.
My only tiny gripe is the weight when you’re using handheld — the vacuum seems to get heavier the longer you use it.

Aang’s dilemma in Avatar: The Last Airbender was a unique one, something that Korra never faced in her tenure as the Avatar. While there are often times when the fandom decides to pit the two against each other, it might not be correct to assume that Korra was the superior of the two just because […]
