Bute Park

I loved coming here for the christmas at bute park festival. the lights installations were mesmerising and simply stunning. it'll really set you off to a great christmas spirit. it's something nice to look forward to every year.

The christmas light show looks amazing. we walked round as 7 family members and a basset hound. we all got a little muddy, but not too bad. if you take part in the drinks stalls as you walk round, and the food stalls at the end, it's not a cheap night out, but the sights and atmosphere really make it a worthwhile experience.

It is a large park near the castle whose walls are called animal walls since the walls have statues of animals. the park has big and had green and lush trees of which some are quite big and old. there are boat services starting from the park. it provides a view of the castle as well.

Dinosaur in the park, more for under 8 years old. take a picnic and lots of drinks. the food vans are expensive (£5 for a hot chocolate, when you can go to krispykreme and get a milkshake and doughnut for £5:25). the fun fair rides are £3-£5. the dinosaur are cool, and the walk around to find them is good. there are some really big carnivore dinosaurs that are really amazing. enjoyable time with the bouncy castle and golf in the price of the tickets. the park itself is a nice place to walk and picnic! some play areas and lots of benches to rest on. there are a few cafe places spread out around the area. you can walk to and from the town shopping centre.

Great two hours in the beautiful park. no wonder it's called bute!! the dinosaurs in the park exhibition was great fun for children of all ages, our 15 and 21 year old grand daughters loved it as did my wife and i, eternally young. food stalls were not cheap but reasonable priced and what we ate we enjoyed. noodles for some pork rolls for others.
