I bet this will be disappointing like that imitation Lapland that was in Hampshire (I think?) a few years ago that received so many complaints!

If it wasn't for the animals being there that would be hilarious.

Just as well they're running it at night, I had visions of all the kids looking out on some dreary railway track strewn with rubbish. : )

The video makes it look alright actually.

pulled by vintage diesel power.

You'd have to really like your kids to suffer through that for them.

Wow. I hadn't heard about this place. That is shockingly bad. Apparantly they did jail time for it as well.

That Lapland Place, it looks like it was so bad, that you would want to go!

I have been to a few places like that. Herstmonceux Science Centre has not changed since I went there as a child, apart from the fun bits have been removed thanks to health and safety.

A fish pond was the highlight of that particular day.
