🤪 When Dinosaurs, Ball Pits & Pub Crawls Collide: A Very Grown-Up Night at Gulliver’s Land in Milton Keynes! We paid only £48 for one night!

🦖 PLOT TWIST
I booked our anniversary stay at Gulliver’s Land in Milton Keynes literally last minute at 4pm and arrived at 6:30pm. Yes, that Gulliver’s — the one teeming with dinosaurs and toddlers in Crocs. Not exactly Paris, but guess what? We had an absolute blast!
This wasn’t your average romantic weekend. It was part wild west, part chaotic kids' and romantic a setting but somehow still one of the best nights we’ve had in ages.
🙈 WHAT WE DID....
What we actually got up to (No regrets. Mostly.)
🤠 Shacked up in a Western-style cabin — and we bagged the only kind of cabin's with a TV. Yee-haw and thank you very much.
🥂 Embarked on a global pub crawl… within the park’s themed areas. Because nothing says romance like pretending you’re in Africa while holding a gin in Milton Keynes.
⛺️ Discovered an empty bell tent. Naturally, we moved in (for one drink only… or three). Luckily, nobody sleeping in there, we double checked.
🍽 Dined at Warbler on the Wharf — genuinely a lovely spot overlooking the marina. It gave posh vibes without the posh prices. Click here to view the website.
🤸♂️Snuck into the ball pit. Not sure it was allowed. Definitely worth it.
🚣♀️ Drinks on a boat. Should we have been there? Unclear. Were we channeling our midlife crisis? Absolutely!
🤑 BOOKING HACK...
Because Full Price? Nah.
The Gulliver’s Land website was playing hardball with the prices, so we sidestepped and booked via Expedia (also check Hotels.com — they’ve got listings too). Bit of a win considering we spent the savings on cocktails and fries.
💯 THE VERDICT
If you’re craving something different — and don’t mind sleeping near a T-Rex — this place is weirdly perfect for a one- or two-night break. Kids will love it. Grown-ups might love it even more, especially if you’re not above climbing into a ball pit or getting locked in a cage in your 30s (or 40s… or whatever, age is fake). And no, we didn’t camp like we could of, we needed a real toilet and zero effort. Priorities!
