The outdoor 'theme park' has no rides or modern technology, and instead encourages kids to have imaginative play.
And the Cheshire park has rereleased new parent toddler tickets for a bargain.
After the huge success of 2024's offer, the woodland adventure park has extended their Twiggle Tots offering across May, June, and July 2025.
The Twiggle Tots deal - which the park launched last year - includes discounted entry for an adult and toddler aged three or under.
Costing just £12.50, it can be used on weekdays across May, June and July.
It is well timed, after winning Best Theme Park for Toddlers in the UK Theme Park Awards last year.
Lydia Downey, head of marketing and media, told local media: 'Twiggle Tots was so popular last year, and we have been inundated with people asking when it's coming back.
"So, we're so pleased its finally back this May."
The unique attraction is based on the book series by Tom Blofeld, with characters from both A Boggle at BeWILDerwood and The Bewilderbats.
And new book Minty and the Big Stink includes the new character Minty the Crocklebog, who will feature at the park this year.

Otherwise the park's main play structure includes slides, storytelling stages, zip lines and den-building activities.
There are also the Wobbly Wires, the Slippery Slopes, the Broken Bridge and Curious Treehouses to explore for kids.
Unique to the Cheshire park is the Loopy Lakes, Witches House, Telescope Tower and Mish Mash Maze.
While the Norfolk park is the only one with the BeWILDerboats, Tricky Tunnels and Muddles Maze.
What is it like to visit BeWilderwood with kids?
Mum Catherine Lofthouse recently visited.
It's perfect for a hot summer's day as you're mainly in the shade wherever you go and there's loads of smaller spaces where adults can sit and relax while children play freely in eyesight.
What's great is that lots of the equipment is designed for different ages and abilities to use together.
My boys loved whizzing down the widest slide side by side and taking to the twin ziplines.
For smaller guests, there's separate play spaces so they don't get overwhelmed by the big kids running riot.
Upcoming events this year are yet to be revealed although there are likely to be themed seasons such as Halloween and Christmas again.
One parent who raved about the park said: "Honestly one of the best places we have been with the kids."
Another agreed: "We had a fantastic day and spent over 4 hours here and could have easily been there longer."
Another similar attraction in the UK is Lilidorei, thought to be the largest play structure in the world.
Found at The Alnwick Garden's, Elfwin Drin is 65ft tall, with slides bridges and towers to play on.

Molly-Mae Hague gets her FOURTH parking ticket of the year as she leaves £200k G Wagon outside her Cheshire office while filming her Amazon series
Molly-Mae Hague has been slapped with her fourth parking ticket of the year as she stepped out of her £200,000 G Wagon in Cheshire on Wednesday. The Love Island star, 26, was greeted with the fine on her luxurious car after leaving her offices where she was filming the second series of her Amazon show Behind It All. For the outing, the star wore a stylish brown sueded jacket which she wore with a pair of wide leg black jeans and accessorised with a pricey Chanel bag. She added Prada shades to her look and swept her blonde tresses back into her usual sleek bun. Looking unphased, Molly ripped off the parking ticket from her windshield as she racketed up another fine after getting others in March, February and January of this year. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. A representative for Molly-Mae has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Her outing comes after it was claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go. The former Love Island star and the boxer, both 26, shocked their fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking. But this year they have slowly reconciled and enjoyed several family trips with their daughter Bambi, two. But a report from The Sun this week suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe is concerned about them getting back together. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. And this in turn has reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together. Tyson, Tommy and Molly-Mae Hague have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Zoe said of Tommy on the documentary: 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together. 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' It comes after last week Molly-Mae and Tommy looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. After months of rumours that the couple had rekindled their romance following their split in August, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And Tommy has clearly been making the effort since their shock split as he whisked his family off to a 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the mini break as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi. Elsewhere she shared a snippet of her very lavish accommodation which featured huge L-shaped couches and large emperor beds. And Bambi appeared to settle in straight away as she was pushing her toy pram around the luxury property. Alongside a mirror selfie, Molly penned: 'Back from St Tropez and straight to the Cotswolds for a surprise staycation. 'This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready'. Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking. Also on Wednesday she took to Instagram to promote her latest range with brand Maebe She looked summer chic in a stylish black co-ord in the snaps He said: 'People go through different things in life. I'm 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world... 'Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.' The pair's split was branded a 'publicity stunt' by fans after they were filmed packing on the PDA at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw 's Hogmanay party in Cheshire.

Couple discover nursery picture of them sitting next to each other seven years after falling in love
When electrical engineer Micheal Moore dropped his crush Ashleigh a message on Instagram in 2018, he was hoping for a chance to meet-up. Luckily for him, Ashleigh instantly replied, and the pair, both from Runcorn in Cheshire, hit it off. Within a few years they were married with a son. But incredibly the couple's love story started decades before, unbeknownst to them. The couple, now both 26, actually attended the same nursery and even sat next to one another in a class photo - something they didn't discover until seven years after they got together. In a nursery school picture that had been gathering dust in a box at Ashleigh's parents' home, the couple spotted two familiar faces staring back at them. 'It wasn't until we were moving out and sorting through pictures at our parents' house that we found the picture and realised we were sitting next to each other. 'We couldn't believe it. It was a lovely feeling to know that we've been a part of each other's lives for so long.' Ashleigh, a stay at home mother to the couple's three-year-old son, Alfie, shared the image on TikTok where it has been viewed almost 800,000 times and received more than 400 comments. She is expecting baby number two this July and their families could not be happier that they ended up together. 'Our family and friends absolutely love that we ended up together and call us childhood sweethearts. 'We had a brief relationship in secondary school at the age of 13 for a few months but remained close friends as we were in the same lessons. 'We left secondary school at the age of 16 in 2015. 'Michael went to Chester to do an apprenticeship and I went to sixth form so we lost contact. 'It wasn't until 2018 that we got back in contact through Instagram.' The cute photo that Ashleigh shared online received adoring comments from viewers - and even led to others sharing their own stories. One person said: 'Love how you both have the same expression on your face. So cute. Congratulations.' A second viewer said: 'Oh I love a happy ending. I married my childhood sweetheart who lived six doors from me. Boyfriend and girlfriend since age nine and still together both age 62 now. 'This is me with my husband too. Our nursery photo together was handed round our wedding during my dads speech,' added Shannon. Another person said: 'Currently looking at who's sat next to my children in their pictures and wondering if any will be their future spouse.' 'Wow. That is the cutest thing I've seen today, fair play,' added a fifth viewer. It comes after another couple lucky enough to rekindle a decade-old relationship - albeit one with a very different beginning - were UK-based Zoe and Michael. Club promoter Zoe, who fell in love on holiday, restarted her relationship and ultimately got married to her fling – 10 years after they first met each other. The 33-year-old was working in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, giving out shots, when she met Michael, also 33, who was on a lads holiday in 2012. The pair enjoyed a sparky holiday romance, meeting several times during Michael's trip. Zoe even made a passing comment to a friend about Michael – claiming she had met the man she'll 'marry one day'. Michael returned to Leeds, Yorkshire, after a week, while Zoe flew back to the UK a few months later to start a course at the University in Bournemouth, Dorset. Five years later, Zoe sent a drunken message to Michael and, to her surprise, the connection was 'still there'. The pair resumed their romance and Zoe left her job as an Emirates air steward, moving to Leeds to be with Michael. They went on tie the knot in May 2022, 10 years after they first met on holiday, and recently welcomed their firstborn, son Leo, in February 2023. Zoe, a content creator, from Leeds, Yorkshire, said: 'When I met Michael, I remember saying to my friend, "I've met the man I'm going to marry." 'During that holiday, he said the same thing to his mates about me. 'I never in a million years imagined I'd actually marry him 10 years later. 'Despite losing contact, the connection was still there. 'It's not all been plain sailing, but I'm so glad I followed my heart.' Zoe was working as a promoter in Cyprus during the summer of 2012, while taking a gap year before starting university. Michael was on a lads holiday when he first crossed paths with Zoe. She said: 'We met when I was encouraging them to come in for shots. 'I don't remember what we spoke about, but I remember how he made me feel. 'There was an immediate connection, and I had this gut feeling about us.' During Michael's week-long trip, they met up several times for dates on the Island. They exchanged numbers and continued messaging when Michael returned home a week later. Zoe flew back to the UK in September 2012, ready to start university. She said: 'We were both in very different places in life. 'He was focused on his career, and I was about to start my course. 'We ended up drifting apart, but we kept liking each other's photos on Facebook.' Five years later, in 2019, Zoe had just gone through a break-up when she met with a friend. They started discussing past relationship, and her friend reminded her of 'Michael from holiday'. 'We had a few bottles of wine, and I looked him up online,' she said. 'He had two children but was also single. 'I genuinely wasn't expecting anything to come from it, but I sent a drunk message to see how he was doing. 'It was like no time had passed. 'We immediately hit it off again.' Zoe, who was working as an air steward at the time, ended up leaving her job and moving to Yorkshire to live with Michael in 2020. The pair were hit with lockdown but despite the difficult circumstances, they made it work. She said: 'It was definitely tough at times - I moved my entire life there. 'I never expected to become a stepmum. 'But we took it all slowly, and the kids were so welcoming. 'Through all of it, Michael was so loving and supportive. I knew I had made the right decision.' During a trip to Greece in September 2020, Michael proposed to Zoe and they started planning the wedding. They tied the knot two years later in Athens, Greece, in May 2022, with 55 close family and friends. 'We met near Greece, so it's always been very special to us,' she said. 'The proposal was perfect, and it really cemented my feelings that I'd made the right decision. 'It was such a magical wedding.' In 2023, the couple were overjoyed to welcome their son Leo, 20-months-old. Zoe said: 'We've got through difficult times, but throughout all of it I've had Michael by my side. 'Things might not always be the fairytale you envision, but if put in the work it could be so much better.'

Helen Flanagan looks stylish in a grey knitted co-ord set as she grabs coffee in Cheshire after slashing price of her huge mansion amid financial struggles
Helen Flanagan looked stylish as she stepped out to grab coffee in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, on Tuesday afternoon. The ex Coronation Street star, 34, has recently suffered some setbacks, including slashing the sale price of her luxury mansion less than a month after putting it on the market. She previously claimed her finances were so dire that she was struggling to afford the price of public transport, but Helen appeared to put her woes aside this week. Helen appeared to be in good spirits as she stepped out for a coffee, flashing a smile while carrying her iced beverage from Costa Coffee. She looked stylish in a grey co-ord set which consisted of a knitted cardigan and flared trousers that hugged her figure. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The former Coronation Street star, 34, has suffered a series of bitter setbacks, including dramatically slashing the sale price of her luxury mansion less than a month after putting it on the market due to financial difficulties She accessorised with a Kurt Giger bag and black pumps, along with a pair of large gold Chanel earrings. The star pulled her dyed blonde locks into a quick up-do and opted for a natural palette of make-up. Helen appeared in high spirits as she was spotted leaving the café and heading back to a car. The actress recently admitted that she's 'really struggling financially' after making a fortune from appearing on the ITV soap and various reality TV shows. Amid her struggles, Helen has reduced the asking price of her six-bedroom detached home on the outskirts of Bolton. It was initially on the market for £1.5 million, but it's been dropped by £305,000 - a steep fall of 20 per cent with a new asking price of £1.19million. The three-floored home, spanning over 5,000 square feet, was put on the market in the middle of May. Depending on the size of the mortgage, Helen could still be set for a tidy windfall as she bought it with her ex partner, footballer Scott Sinclair, for £840,000 in June 2021. It was initially on for £1.5 million, but it's been dropped to £1,195,000 - a steep fall of 20 per cent (pictured the star's designer wardrobe) According to the brochure, two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and living rooms - one of which is full of designer handbags, clothes and shoes, 'which really gives it the wow factor'. Helen recently revealed that despite the house already being on the market, she doesn't know where she will move to next - admitting London might be too expensive. Helen co-parents kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with ex Scott. She said of the future move: 'We are selling the house now which will be nice to have a change. Because I was with Scott for so long I was used to moving house a lot (because he is a footballer) so it's normal for me. 'I could now never stay in one place for too long I don't think. I like a change, I love it.' She added: 'It makes me sad that I am going to be leaving this house soon because I have put so much effort into it. 'I put loads of my savings into making it look really beautiful. It's eight bedrooms which is hard to keep on top of - it's a lot. 'When we move I will struggle to downsize - I don't want to not sounds down to earth. Bu it will feel weird. It will be more manageable for me. 'I don't know where I want to live next. I've always wanted to live in London but there is such a price difference there. But it would be amazing for work and I do want a change. It's been a heavy few years for me so it will be a lovely fresh change.' After splitting from Scott, Helen claimed in a court appearance for a speeding offence that she was 'really struggling financially' after raking in over £1M from her TV and modelling career. Despite claiming that she was broke to the courts in January and needed her car to ferry her three kids around, magistrates still banned her from driving for six months. She said: 'I'm a single mum, I live in the middle of the moors.' She said her 'job really is being a mum at home' and she had 'enough money in my account to pay off my tax and my VAT and basically that's about it' – later adding that she has 'enough money to pay my taxes, pay the mortgage and for a bit of tea'. Despite her money problems, Helen has been making the most of her newly single status after splitting from her boyfriend Robbie Talbot. Helen had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer before their sudden split. However, friends claimed she then had a change of heart, according to The Sun, and she told Robbie their relationship 'wasn't working.' A source told the publication: 'They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.'
