We always go in summer as its not so exciting in the winter. The kids love running around the gardens and tire themselves out in all the free space – there are lots of shady places to play as well. There is a playground (but you need to pay to go in). We always take a picnic and end up there for hours with friends enjoying the beautiful gardents. If you stay long enough there is a great light show at night. (Jenny Drake)
