An absolutely amazing deer park. Not a big fan of Batman myself but still came because of the lovely deers! A decent park for a walk during anytime of the day. Great place for families and picnics too. Highly recommended.

Wollaton Hall also known as Wayne Manor. A Beautiful Historic Building surrounded by well kept, Beautiful surroundings. Parking is £3.20 for 2 hours. Ample parking with a children’s park right next to the parking and also an ice cream van. An easy route round the lake and through the orangery gardens. Well maintained. A safe place for families, couples and friends. You’ll also be lucky to see swans, birds, Herons and even deer out in the open. Wollaton hall also does a movie night outside, so look out for the tickets. They fly out and go very very quick.💨
A great place, perfect location, lots of space plenty of walks.
Would definitely recommend. 💯

It's been quite a few years since we last visited here. It really is a special place. Thoroughly enjoyed the Dinosaur exhibition, the 2 young volunteers were brilliant ! & other areas were interesting too. The grounds are extensive ,& it's lovely to be so close to the Deer.
Downside, the parking system is a shambles. You pay for either 2 hours or all day, plus the machines don't work, an App to pay is suggested, which we don't have or want & visitors with the App said it didn't work ! Hence had to pay in the coffee shop for parking ! That aside, we had a lovely time

Lovely place to come for a walk, got a lovely cafe, toilets, places to sit and eat. Definitely recommend it. Went to the botanical gardens (Only open Sunday 2pm - 4pm) but very nice walk around there.
Wheel chair and dog friendly. There's loads of shady areas for the hot days and couple of ice cream vans around the park.

I run outdoor yoga sessions here through the summer in the gardens and the surroundings are absolutely amazing. I commute through on my bike frequently too and find it a wonderful break to the busy city. The kids love a walk around the lake and exploring the woodland and the cafe and toilets are well kept. Coming here when the deer are exploring is a truly magical experience. My little ones have sat still for half an hour watching the stag and Deer wander. The only downside is the gate opening and closing times are a little later than we would like to be able to run through early morning.

Beautiful place to visit, we stopped for a couple of hours on our way down south whilst travelling from the north, house is beautiful, we didn't go inside but gardens were lovely to stroll around and a few lawn games for the children to play with. Park was great, perfect place for a picnic and run of some steam. We would definitely visit again.

Beautiful park and Estate!!
Now this place is vast...
Plenty of parking, for a fee.
Fantastic outdoor play park with plenty for all ages, enclosed for safe playing.
Theres a lovely little cafe to get drinks or snacks and facilities behind too.
There was even a section of rides, trampolines and a mini golf for the school holidays.
That's all before you walk around, Wayne Manor as its fondly known, stands imposing on the hill top over looking the land, park, cafes and the lake.
After refreshments at the courtyard cafe by the hall you can walk round the lake and through the woodland, where you meet the residents of this impressive estate of natural beauty.
Pack a picnic, pair of trainers and get yourself down there.. old, young or with the kids.

Been coming here since I was a kid and it's just as good now!! The hall itself is magnificent from the outside and the grounds are kept immaculately. Security staff are very friendly and there's so much to do including the inside tours of the Nottingham History Museum within the Hall, play areas for the kids, and a ton of space for ball games, picnics, and the like. The gardens out back are expansive and beautiful as well and if you're lucky you can be pretty close to the local deer herd as well which was amazing. It was closed when I went last but I hear there is a smaller museum inside the stables too.
Coffee shops and gift shops are on site as well with varying degrees of quality but the coffee we had was pretty good. Staff in those shops could be a little more helpful however.

All in all its a varied and wonderful place that could probably do with a few adjustments in some areas. Eg the museum needs to bring back more of the taxidermy as its historic and very unique and educational. Also the parking is diabolical, expensive for one but also requires an app to use which is Ill thought out considering there's literally no signal there. So it loses a star for that but otherwise a fantastic day out.
