Looking for something a bit different on your next holiday? Why not stay near a theme park? The cabins and lodges at Wild Acre Village provide plenty of space for everyone to stay, but younger children (0-10 years) will appreciate them even more for their closeness to Sundown Adventureland, a family theme park with plenty of rides and experiences perfect for memory making. And this Retford accommodation is only twenty minutes from Lincoln and forty minutes from Sherwood Forest, where there’s even more for everyone to explore.  But when you don’t feel like travelling out, there’s still plenty to do on-site! Sundown Adventureland is an obvious day-out (more on that later), but on Wild Acre itself you’ll find a range of facilities to use on your holiday.

About Wild Acre Village at Sundown Adventureland

Looking for something a bit different on your next holiday? Why not stay near a theme park? The cabins and lodges at Wild Acre Village provide plenty of space for everyone to stay, but younger children (0-10 years) will appreciate them even more for their closeness to Sundown Adventureland, a family theme park with plenty of rides and experiences perfect for memory making. And this Retford accommodation is only twenty minutes from Lincoln and forty minutes from Sherwood Forest, where there’s even more for everyone to explore. 

But when you don’t feel like travelling out, there’s still plenty to do on-site! Sundown Adventureland is an obvious day-out (more on that later), but on Wild Acre itself you’ll find a range of facilities to use on your holiday. Don’t feel like cooking? Head over to the Bistro. Serving breakfast, lunch, and evening meals, it’s there whenever you might need it. And with a huge four storey soft play area adjacent to the bistro, there’s more than enough to keep the kids entertained while the adults enjoy the fully licensed bar. 

With a variety of cabins and lodges on offer for guests, you’re sure to find something to suit you and your loved ones. Smaller groups should look at the single cabins, which sleep five people over a king-size bedroom for the adults and triple bunk beds for children. Double cabins are more suitable for larger groups of around ten people, working as two single cabins separated by interconnecting doors. But if everyone prefers a bit more privacy, lodges with three separate bedrooms are also available, so simply choose what fits you best, there’s no need to settle!

Make the most of Wild Acre’s ideal location by spending a day or two out at Sundown Adventureland! Whilst you’ll need to book that separately, it’s sure to keep children entertained for hours on end. There are rides to suit everyone, no matter their age or how brave their feeling – and there’s no reason for the adults not to hop on too! Take a trip down the river on the Jolly Pirate Boat Ride or brave the broken bridge along the Rocky Mountain Railroad, there’s tonnes to do and explore – and ride again of course! For families who’d prefer something a little quieter, there’s more attractions and shows on-site too.

Explore the Angry Birds play area or get those singing muscles into gear at Buck & Duke’s Sing-A-Long show, whilst under 5’s have their own area to explore within Noah’s Ark play area. Remember to check the events page before your visit to see what’s on! Don’t forget to grab food before heading back to Wild Acre Village too – thankfully Sundown has plenty of places to eat! Whether it’s grabbing doughnuts from various pop-up shops throughout the park or sitting down for a meal at Crash landings (which includes a giant indoor play area!), rodeo corral or pumpkin café – there’s plenty to choose from. 

For a more relaxing afternoon away from the theme park action, head over to Lincoln for the day-out at the Little Pottery Studio, and create your own masterpiece. Paint a piece of pottery to take home and remind you of your trip to Sundown Adventureland or book a class to learn new skills and techniques!

If the kids still need to blow off some steam, a trip to afterwards Harstholme Country Park won’t go amiss. Composed of Victorian landscaped gardens, a reservoir, woodlands and grasslands, there’s loads of space to adventure round during the day, as well as finding that perfect picnic spot for lunch. There’s even a play area on-site too, great fun for children when they get a bit restless!

Wild Acre Village at Sundown Adventureland Reviews

"Lovely cabin, Play area very clean. Fantastic indoor play area."
Robert - Aug 2022
"We really enjoyed our stay with you last week. I didn’t get any names of the staff and wish I had as they were excellent. So friendly and helpful. The ladies in the shop on site, the hot tub men, the staff on the rides and the security were all fantastic ."
Paula - Aug 2022
"Very good after sorting water"
Carole - Aug 2022
"Had a fantastic time the accommodation was lovely, the park was great for the kids even the adults enjoyed it, we will be coming back."
Ann - Aug 2022
"Lovely lodge, perfect for our needs. Staff always helpful and cheerful. Advantage of staying over meant my autistic granddaughter could have quiet breaks back at the lodge as well as being in the park early when quiet."
Amanda - Aug 2022
"I visited with my two daughters aged 6 and 8. The Squirrel VIP lodge was amazing. Decorated to please the children but superbly equipped to please the adults. Having said that my eldest daughter spent the most time in the hot tub.Peaceful location, although as it is fairly new for this season a number of lodge plots were vacant and some site details were still to be completed. However, overall it was fantastic and my daughters loved it so much we have already booked to return next year. Although the initial cost of the lodge seemed expensive, when you consider it allowed us access to Sundown for 5 days it then seemed a bargain."
Alex - Aug 2022
"The lodges were wonderful well equipped even had a dishwasher. They had thought off everything even a tea towel dishwasher tablets. Netflicks. Perfect for family holidays. We had 4 pods for our giant family. Definitely book again. Theme park was great. There wasn’t one member of staff any where that wasn’t genuinely happy and it’s was very hot 35 degrees. Indoor play area and restaurant had aircon so great escape for us all. Just perfect well done wild acre sundown ??"
Vanessa - Jul 2022
"Wonderful getaway. The lodges were well equipped and little details were thought of. Plenty of room for our family of 5 :) would reccomend and will definitely revisit!"
Steffi - Jul 2022
"Absolutely amazing time here and bonus fair tickets for free. Cabins lovely and have everything for your stay little touches such as cleaning packs. Only bad point I would say is no air con as we was there during the heatwave will definitely be returning. The restaurant was amazing for food and the staff so friendly the girl with the black hair didn’t get her name went above and beyond for us"
Sophie - Jul 2022
"It's a lovely theme park and the lodges at wild acre are lovely but what really makes this place special is the staff, from security who high fives my children and spoke to them each morning, the ride operators who were so friendly and my children loved chatting to, to the staff at crash landings special shout out to Stacey and Molly who couldn't do enough for you ( we miss you Stacey!) What makes this place so special is the staff."
Pat - Jul 2022
"Perfect weekend for our boys 3rd birthday celebrations. He loved it ! Absolutely would recommend. The only thing that wasn’t amazing was the heat inside the cabins. Hottest time ever on record, and no air conditioning at all … however, who was to know that we would have record breaking temperatures !"
Kerry - Jul 2022
"Visited with our four children ages between 8-3years old. They all loved the theme park and all the play parks on offer. The lodge is very very clean and staff were very helpful. Only down side was the lodge got extremely hot however it was a heatwave and they provided fans straight away to try and help with this. The soft play however had AC which was amazing! We would definitely return."
Erin - Jul 2022
"Quaint lodges, plenty to do for our 5 year old and very helpful staff. Would definitely visit again."
Carl - Jul 2022
"Lovely lodges, excellent for the kids, and being able to access crash landings outside of park opening hours was a massive bonus"

Located in Louth in Lincolnshire this is an ideal attraction when you want to get out in the fresh air and explore.
