Paultons

[Guest]

Has anybody been to this park, I want to know if it accessible from Southampton by public transport?

Yes we went last summer. It's great fun.

Not sure about using public transport as we went by car while we were staying in the area.

It's ideal for small children, but teenagers are likely to be a bit bored.

I'm pretty sure there are buses that run there from Southampton - have a look on their website under Information - How to Find Us.

I did look but couldn't get into the How to Find Us section, my daughter is 5 and not adventurous, so it wll be suitable for her I think

Good for smaller children. Sorry no idea about public transport.

Paultons Park is only a couple of miles from my home!

There is a bus stop outside the park but I'm not sure how frequently the busses run. You can catch the train from Southampton central or Southampton Parkway (the airport train station) to Totton and then you could get a taxi, I wouldn't have thought the fare would be much, it's only about 3 miles from the station.

I can find out the bus times if you'd like.

I used to be a season ticket holder for the park and my two loved it but at 9 and 12 now it wasn't worthwhile renewing a couple of years back.

Pete's daughter who is 16 went with her friend a few weeks back and they absolutely loved it. The Park is trying to attract older children I think and there are bigger rides than there used to be.

Don't hesitate to pm me if you'd like anymore info.

That is great Astrid, I am not going until October, a few days in Southampton, I was just trying to work out if I need to get a hire car or if I can manage without. I want to visit the scrapbooking and craft shops in the area too, but a friend may come down to southampton for the day to show me those.

Glad I could help Joanne - If you'd like to meet up when you're in the Southampton area (I'm in WDW in October for 2 weeks!) let me know!

[Guest]

Thanks Astrid, I will contact you closer to the time when I am sorted out with what we are doing, we are there right at the end of October
