what's it like?
is it massivly expensive? would it be ok for a 4 and 8 year old?

is it really worth the 50 minute train ride to get there?

We are planning to go later in the month - I have a 5 and a 3 year old so will be interested in anyone's experience/advice.

Last years Haunted House was a weird choice though, wasn't it? We went lunchtime mid-week last year and it was empty.

we wont be ice skating and will only do the wheel if the que's are ok.

is there plenty of iother things or is it all shopping stalls?

If it's like last year there is a nice wheel (you are in little cabins), fairground rides (carousel, little planes), bavarian-christmas-market style shops, big slide, helter-skelter, one of these simulaton rides that looks like a mini caravan and makes you sick, food tent, haunted house... and ice skating. You may be able to pre-book the wheel. I think they have a website.

Lots of little rides and things as well as stalls.We wont be skating either as DD's too little but think they will like to watch for a bit.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
