Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Well, what an experience that was. Big thanks to Alistair our expert guide, who was a mine of information about the whole operation. The initial orientation is a must. And keep asking questions to the guys and gals manning the exhibits, they’ll love it, and you’ll learn a whole lot more.
    Live steam weekends are the ones to go for. Our North American cousins will never experience live steam up so close and personal.
    You may even have the pleasure of meeting some SteamPunks en route.
    Thanks to all the volunteers who make this possible.
    Cheers

    This is such a lovely experience. We got to see three birds and fly two (owl and Harris hawke) Dave and his team are really knowledgable and friendly and is so clearly passionate about his business. I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone interested in birds and seeing these beautiful animals up close. We bought our tickets for a 2hr experience from Groupon and it was an absolute steal. A really nice way to pass an afternoon.
    I’d firmly recommend good bottom shoes like wellies or walking boots for the field part as it was a bit muddy, and definitely bring a coat.

    Amazing first visit yesterday!

    First time we had visited and my kids had such a lovely day they didn’t want to leave!

    Although the farm isn’t huge it’s set out lovely and gives children the chance to interact and pet the animals the baby rabbits were adorable!

    The play area was safe and plenty for all ages of children would say it’s suitable for toddlers to around 9-10 years of age. Plenty of places to sit even though it was a really sunny dah including tables with umbrellas for shade.

    The tea room serves lovely food and drinks everything served looked delicious!

    We had ice creams, kids picnic boxes and cakes the milkshakes are really good!

    Would definitely reccomend!

    The gardens are fantastic and the "washlands" of the river Trent go on for miles and right next to Burton town centre.

    Our first visit after years of passing by, a very well maintained and clean quiet walk.

    Plenty of places for sitting, fishing and picnics.

    A good quiet walk

    Recently visited the Pirelli Stadium as an away supporter. The football was mediocre but entry and exit was a breeze and the facilities were good. My other half enjoyed some faggots with mushy peas before kick off.

    The Tower Brewery is my local Friday night drinking location. Though it is only open on a Friday, it is a day that I look forward to. The staff are some of the most friendly people that you can meet. The atmosphere is incredible as people are always up on stage playing the piano all out of the love for it. The beer is also great and extremely cheap for a pint. I would completely recommend a visit.

    We were very pleasantly surprised by our visit. The children especially enjoyed interacting with the donkeys, goats and especially the friendly cart horse . The food on sale was great and overall the prices were well below what we expected. Great value visit.

    I visit this gallery when I am in the area. It is charming, full of amazing artists and a peaceful atmosphere. One of my favorite art galleries in the Midlands at Barton Marina England, Gallery 3. It is where they have had a nice collection of Mr Brainwash who was in the Bansky documentary and another fantastic street artist Yuvi. Other wonderful artists like Simon Kenny, Stephen Graham, Keith Proctor, Fabian Perez and Emilija Pasagic have had their art represented there. Staff like Meghan, who is the kind, accommodating and knowledgeable, make this an extra special place and visit!
