MILKY WAY BIDIFORD

 
 
 

The Milky Way is one of the UK's smallest family parks and was opened in the mid 80's. It's not a theme park like Alton Towers etc, but it does have a coaster, it's a Russian built Caripro powered Batflyer and was installed in 1998 and they have turned it into a dark ride. They also have a dodgem track, train ride, archery, lazer shooting and indoor golf plus a good falconry display for the older visitor the rest of the park is set up for children.

With slides, ball pens, petting zoo and a maze which is still growing. They also have a collection of old tractors, cars and bikes on display.

 

The majority of the park is under cover and they can stay open all year round. This is the second time we have visited this park and for the money you do get a good day from the place, you can either eat in their cafe or picnic outside when the weather is good.

 

Overallwe found it good fun, good value and the staff were very friendly, so if you're in Devon and need something to do with your kids try and spend a day here.
