I enjoyed this for the comical value. It would have been a lot better if their had been more of us on this tour. The guys that run this show are very good. It was a little hard to take in some of the info because of how its laid out, but ob the whole worth the money. More

Having visited a couple of years ago (and thoroughly enjoying the experience then) I was pleased to see that Buccaneer Bay has continued to improve and has made some changes to the tour and added extra actors, both on the reception and within the tour. All, I must say, do a great job and are very engaging when story telling... More

We visited on a Monday in late April. The attraction takes the form of a theatrical guided tour through various sets which are generally pirate and smuggler themed. Me and my girlfriend were the only people on our tour so it felt a little awkard at times! However the guide still did a good job and it would have been... More

I wasn’t sure what to expect really, as I have never been to Tunnels Through time, as it always looked like a low budget money making idea someone had when converting their house. However, following the change to Buccaneer Bay, and my fascination with pirates and smuggling I gave in, and let my other half drag me along. Despite the... More

Fantastic live action experience for any age! Our group was made up of 2 23 year old lads and a 25 year old girl it was such a laugh! If you have kids with a sensitive disposition it's probably best not to take them through the tunnel of terror. You learn a lot and the actors are really good! More

Visited Easter Sunday, not sure what to expect so enquired in Gift Shop. Very helpful member of staff gave honest low down including length of tour ie 40 minutes. My 11 year old son and I (we were the only 2 on tour) really enjoyed the whole experience including Sunken Village of the Damned. We have previously visited London and... More

We took our 5yr and 3yr old not knowing what to expect and we left giggling away and the kids couldn't stop talking about it for the whole day. The pirates were excellent. Our kids were too young to go through the Sunken village but they still enjoyed it all the same. We've read up on it before our visit... More
