The Milky Way Adventure Park in North Devon has been awarded TripAdvisor’s most prestigious accolade for the 5th year running – the Travellers’ Choice™ award. This award is the highest honour TripAdvisor can give and is presented annually to the top 1% of businesses across select categories.
TripAdvisor has also named the Milky Way as the 2nd best Amusement Park in the UK and 10th best in Europe, according to reviewers. The family-run park has been placed just below Paulton Park, but above big names such as Alton Towers and Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The Milky Way Adventure Park is one of only two attractions in the South West to have won a Travellers’ Choice Award in the Attractions category, with Crealy Family Theme Park coming in at number 7.
Yet The Milky Way started as a farm attraction on the Stanbury family farm near Clovelly. Since then it has grown both in size and popularity, with the family investing over £1 million in new attractions since 2014 – but is still run by a father, children and partners team, and operates in a rural area on a fraction of the budget of the others on the list.
Speaking about the accolade, Tara Stanbury from the Milky Way said: “We’re thrilled to again be recognised as one of the best days out in the country. The list highlights those parks that offer high levels of visitor satisfaction, and a great-value day out, so it’s fantastic to be included.”
91% of people who review The Milky Way on TripAdvisor rate the park as Very Good or Excellent – a statistic which puts them head and shoulders above most.
“We’re different to some of the others on the list – a bit smaller, and we don’t have the white-knuckle rides and huge crowds and queues. But we do constantly work on being the best we can be, and are always adding something new,” says Tara.
“This year for example we have added Ziggy’s Blast Quest – an interactive target shooting ride that’s proving hugely popular with all ages, and last year we built the Gravity Rider, a huge outdoor donut slide. We’ve also just launched new menus that offer lots of gluten-free, nut-free, egg-free and dairy-free options.
“We really focus on having friendly, helpful staff and a providing a good family day out – and we’re so pleased that our visitors on Trip Advisor think we’ve done a good job of this.”
When deciding on the awards TripAdvisor takes into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for amusement parks worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.
