cadburys world anybody been?

[dmo]

going tomorrow for sons 9th birthday
i've rang up and booked a time (whats that about)
she said we have 3 hrs, what do they do shove you out
do u get freebies?
do they do anything special if its a childs birthday?

They have given you a time slot because they are very, very busy and certain parts of the tour are in small areas, so they have to limit the amount of visitors there at any one time.

They don't (or at least they didn't) do anything special for a child's birthday.

You get freebies - when we went it was a couple of big blocks of Dairy Milk, a few bars, and a couple of hand-made chocolates part way round.

Don't worry about being more than three hours - chances are you won't need anywhere near that long. I took my sister when she was about 12, and we were through in less than an hour. I didn't think much of it, to be honest, and I won't bother taking dd.

I, on the other hand, love it
Wene with 2 girls friends pre -children and we had a great time! Also took a school party when I was teaching and they all semeed to enjoy it. Would guess the time slot is for tour round factory but there are playgrounds and picnic places outside that you would still be able to use I should think.

thanks both of you
just booked a hotel as the day after were going to alton towers

as ds b/day is in aug we normally go away for the night last yr he wanted to go to legoland and we loved it so this yr was cadbury world

Did you have a good time? we are going on wednesday!

I took DD to Cadbury World when she was 8 and she loved it. It was a coach trip as I didn't fancy driving all that way there and back. Turned out to be a coach full of pensioners who made a fuss of DD and spoiled her rotten. There were loads of freebies too. As we got back on the coach to come home, she announced to everyone proudly 'I haven't eaten a single bit of protein all day'!!

had a fab day boys loved it
was in there for about 4 hrs but could of done longer dh wanted to go
got loads of freebies and the smell of chocolate yum yum
alton towers was good too

Hmmm its ok, don't expect too much of it tho....playground was ok and the few freebies not bad....some of the tour a bit zzz for kids tho?

depends on age of children mine are 9 and 10
does go into the history of choc
where coco beans come from etc
and where john cadbury set up shop and how he made eating choc
my boys love history so this was great for them they are still talking about it today telling their friends
