Dreamland frosted fairground review

On Saturday my family ventured into Dreamland's Frosted fairground.
My husband and I had previously visited Dreamland on their opening night but we were yet to take our four year old, and weren't sure if he would want to go on any rides, so the free entry and token ride system seemed like the perfect chance to try it out and see what he thought.
We were there for 6 hours in total! As I expected, our son was a bit nervous of some of the rides but he still had a turn on quite a few of them, as did we.
I thought that the atmosphere at the park was lovely. The vast majority of the staff present a happy face to the visitors. There were Christmas stalls with unusual wares, such as upcycled clothes and vintage style games.
The cold winter air was filled with foamy fake snow from the snow machine that was sporadically running, and the December breeze was circulating this around the park, making for quite a festive atmosphere.
I've seen a few folk moaning online about Dreamland's pricing for individual rides and whilst I would agree that it did work out expensive for us, it was a good chance to get a feel for the park and know wether it would be worth the entry fee in the future.
The average cost for rides seemed to be 3 tokens, each token being £1, although there were some 4 token ones, and the scenic railway is 5 tokens.
£5 per person does seem a bit steep for one ride as normal entry for the whole park is around £15.
I didn't think there were enough 1 or 2 token rides really. But I guess that's the way to bring back repeat business,  if you can't afford to ride everything with the token system, maybe you'd come back when the entry fees are back in place.
Overall though we had a great day and will certainly be returning.
I especially loved the bumper cars. In the 90s it seemed that all bumper cars became 'dodgems' and crashing was forbidden, but that rule has gone out of the window now! Back to the classic bash and crash Bumpers!
My son enjoyed the mini motorbike merry-go-round and the big slide.
My husband had a go on the scenic railway but thinks that the hour long queue was too long.
The best value for money seems to be the membership if you can afford the lump sum. It would certainly save money if you're planning on going regularly.
With a small child not yet at school I think I shall be looking into getting a membership and spending more time at Dreamland next year with my son.
