Parent View:
The UK finally has an experience to compare with Disneyland. From the moment your car turns the corner and throughout the tour you feel the magic of Harry Potter. Believe it of not this is just a fraction of what you see on the tour and being their is something quite special. The Kidz really enjoyed the Passports – racing around the complex searching for stamps and hidden snitches.

The staff are outstanding, very friendly and always happy to help. Also – many staff members are ‘Potter’ fans, so very understanding of the punters needs and have a wealth of knowledge. Like most tourist attractions the cost is quite steep (Adults £28, Children £21, Family £83, Butter Beer £2.99, Photos with car and broom stick £12/ 4 for £20 etc), but I guarantee if you’re a big fan of the franchise you won’t walk out thinking about what you’ve just spent. This is the best UK attraction I’ve ever visited and I couldn’t recommend it more as a family outing.
