    An absolutely must see if in England. The most amazing atmosphere there you will ever experience in your life. Better come in the evening - no people and it's free to take pictures with the signpost.

    A mandatory £5 parking fee and then any of the "attractions" must be paid for separately. All a bit commercial and tacky for me so get away on the coastal paths and enjoy the stunning scenery.

    Parking is £5 now, if you fancy the attractions it's cheaper to book online, and not bad value! We paid about £18.50 for a family of 3, and it took us around 4 hours to see and do everything!

    More an amusement park than a nature experience. But you will be able to find some interesting spots if you go for a short walk 1 - 2 hours on their tracks they recommend.

    Really tacky, why is there a cinema? Also, I had a minor breakdown in the history bit telling you abt famous journeys from John o groats..there are 20 videos (with sound) playing at the same time 😣

    Probably used to be beautiful, but now it’s a commercialised money-grabbing tat-factory. £6 to park, £10 for a photo next to the famous sign, endless cash for a ‘4D dinosaur cinema experience’. Gross.

    As of Sept ‘20, parking was £7 but no further charges unless you want to pay for experiences inside. Surprising amount of things to do, most chargeable. Long queues to get near the sign though

    Lots of hype - didn’t live up to it in my opinion. It’s very touristy, with an amusement park vibe. Other places to visit nearby that were more memorable (like Cape Cornwall).

    £6 to park and an unbelievably tacky attempt at some crappy attractions which I wasn't expecting. Oh and if you want a photo at the famous sign post to New York, £10 minimum.

    They've turned it into a theme park, you have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to have a pic of you next to the sign. Go to lizard point instead it's how it should be.

    A bit hyped and £5 charge for entrance and parking. Better arrive in the evening to park and roam around for free.

    Changed, dramatically, since I was last here. Still has pot holes all over the place, but now has a fresh looking modern hotel. Access to the sea front is more restricted than it used to be.

    Got there a little late, made 2 stops before. Was a brilliant view, was nice too see. Most things was shut paid £2 for parking. Had a drink in the bar was expensive.

    It's £4 to park, then £6 per adult (£3 per child) for each entertainment. The Dr Who exhibition and the 4D "Skull Rock" movie are excellent fun, well worth it. We came out smiling.

    If you made to Land's End, don't miss the chance to visit Minack Theater and the near by beach at Portchurno...possibly the nicest in Cornwall!

    Glad we didn’t come here just for this. Went Minack first so thought we’d pop by here, wish we didn’t bother. Just money making schemes everywhere,the signpost one particularly pissed me off the most.

    Very commercial! Great for families I imagine. If you're looking for great views, check out the coast line closer to Lizard Peninsula.

    Get your photo taken by the famous sign! (there is a man there who charges to take photos by his own replica sign - avoid!)

    Ghastly commercial carbuncle, the lot of it. Avoid the worst and the £4 parking fee and head to the equally ugly hotel for a mediocre cup of tea if you must.
