Treasure Park

We visited Treasure Park whilst on holiday in Cornwall.

The brochure we picked up for the park made it look like such an exciting place to visit with attractions such as a mine and real time machine.

It was easy enough to find from the A30, just head into Redruth and follow the brown signs.

On arrival we found that it wasn't as much to see as we had originally anticipated. There was a mine and a small children's play area but the main attraction seemed to be the big jewellery shop on the site.

In the jewellery shop there we a couple of interesting attractions. As you entered the shop on the left hand side was a Delorean car as featured in the Back To The Future films. Now as a big fan of Back To The Future I was really excited by this. Unfortunately it didn't appear that you could sit inside it as advertised on the brochure although you could get fairly close to take pictures. I personally don't think it was one of the few Deloreans used in the actual films but rather a pretty good replica.

Other sights in the shop included an Aston Martin DB5 with all the gadgets as used in some of the Bond films, some original outfits as worn by famous stars of film and music, and also £1,000,000 in £5 notes.

I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area and stuck for something to do. You might even want to try your hand at finding the £1,000 diamond they have in a tank (it's not as easy as it sounds). I'd suggest though unless you're really into jewellery, don't get your hopes up.
