I visited mid-August on a weekday and had a lovely hour or two, wandering the gardens, enjoying the displays, and following the treasure hunt. I can’t give it 5 stars as it’s in need of doing up, and so I don’t feel it’s appropriately priced, and parking isn’t included. I paid I think £9 or so (because I had a £1 discount leaflet) which is a lot considering I had to drive up and down the road looking for a free parking space as they charge £3 to park your car - that really should be deducted from the ticket price. It’s a lovely couple of hours, the gardens are beautiful, the village is charming (if rather weathered and in sore need of updating with a good clean and paint), and there’s a cafe with drinks & ice cream, as well as a picnic area. Staff are lovely. Toilets are spotless. (Afterward I went to the huge park which is right next door and it is GORGEOUS! A huge lake, bandstand, rose garden, outdoor cafes, and a wooded area for walks. I thoroughly recommend visiting that.)

Lovely walk around. Esp if you follow the guide. As it does take longer if you go the correct way. I was really surprised the gift shop didn't sell some of the miniatures that were around the village. As for a child, that would have been great. Also it's a shame there weren't any photo opportunities around for giant people to interact with the model people. Like a place you could put your foot to pretend your about to step on one with them doing a scream and shock pose. Lol. Tbh, one bit I enjoyed was taking pictures of the ducks next to the tiny people. Again the gift shop should sell duck food.

We went to the model village today as a group of 5 adults and 3 under 5 year olds. A warm welcome was extended to us all and we were handed a sheet of questions to answer on our way round the village. This was great fun and a great idea as it ensures you view all of the village and miss nothing. The area is well maintained with beautiful floral displays and lush greenery. The model buildings and scenes brought many a smile, there was so much to see but I won't add any spoilers so you can explore for yourself. A hidden gem in Blackpool and a joy for children and adults alike.

**update 02.05.22** Went back today and took my mum for the first time .. she absolutely loved it. We had a great time wandering round the village following the quiz that gives you a tour making sure you don't miss a model. Had a really fab afternoon. Will be taking the niece in the summer holidays I'm sure she'll love it too. **Original post** Had a lovely afternoon here was a nice surprise ..loved some of the hidden ditties in the names of things finished the visit with a picnic in the middle of the village where there was cute little wishing well and some seating.

We came to Black Model Villsge last Monday and it was a lovely day out! They had a large variety of models and had everything you could think of from a church, to a hotel, to a fire station, to a school. There is definitely something for everyone here and it is a day out that the whole family will enjoy. There is a quiz to guide you around the model village so you don't miss anything! The toilets were clean and the ice cream from the cafe was delicious. The plants around the model village were beautiful. Friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely return!

An adorable place to visit! You get a quiz to help guide you around as well as enjoy doing. It's very accessible for disabled visitors, proper paths all the way around and enough room for mobility scooters as well as wheelchairs/prams. Love that it's dog friendly as well- bonus! We had great fun here, would say its a must visit place if you are in the area. There's a big car park next to it and it was only a couple quid for all day parking. They even had the flag lowered on their castle as a respect to the Queen- loved that.
