A great playground and a farm children can visit (you need to book the farm). There is a charge to drive into the estate (£8 per car). But if you want to avoid this just park on the local streets in Knutsford and walk in to the estate - its about a 20 min walk (maybe slightly longer for younger family members) from the gate to the mansion/playgrounds.
Also lots to do for more grown-up guests (gardens, festivals, mansion tour etc)
