Longleat Festival of Light Tips?

[BeanBag7]

Evening everyone
We have unexpected been given tickets for Longleat Festival of Light tomorrow, with our daughter who is nearly 3. I've never been so was wondering if anyone can give me any tips like what order to do things, any things to avoid etc.

Thanks in advance!

We usually get there for opening and do the safari park first, then drive to the main car park and amble around from there. We normally do the boat, then wander around some of the animals, play in the playground and use the butterfly house, bat cave and house to warm up periodically through the day. We don’t usually bother with the maze because we get bored after 10 minutes. There’s a cute ride next to the maze though which DD always loves a go on.

It gets really busy about 3.30-4 so keep that in mind when you’re planning what to do. The orangery is my favourite place for coffee! We’re going on Sunday 😊

Any more tips? Have you been yet OP?
We’re going for the first time this weekend and not sure what time to get there / what time things happen in the evening...
