The Visitor centre

The Boundless visitor centre was well staffed and all nessacery information was provided for the visitors.
The SS Great Britain volunteers were equally helpful and knowledgeable. Providing assistance in all areas.

Despite my cancellation with many weeks…

Despite my cancellation with many weeks notice by e- mail requesting if it would be possible to return my money as you could re-sell my tickets,I heard nothing despite me sending you two e- mails, I was then bombarded with e- mails from you telling me how to join the day etc etc. still no communication from Boundless, very poor service and no way to treat a long standing member, I have lost confidence in Boundless

Reply from Boundless

Dear John,
Thank you for getting in touch, and I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience.
I understand your frustration at not receiving a response to your cancellation request, particularly after giving notice well in advance and following up multiple times. We take pride in offering a high standard of service to our members, and I’m very sorry we fell short in this instance.
We are currently looking into why your emails were not picked up as they should have been, and I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to then receive automated event reminders without any personal response from our team. Our team will soon be reaching out to you personally to see how we can resolve this.
If you ever experience any issues, our Membership Services team is always here to help — they can be contacted by phone on 0800 669944 or by email at info@boundless.co.uk and always aim to resolve matters as quickly and fairly as possible.
I do hope we’ll be able to restore your confidence in Boundless and reassure you that your feedback is being taken seriously.
Warm regards,
Rob Eagles
Senior Events Manager

A fantastic day out and so interesting.

Despite the weather it was a great day out and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Everything is very organised and the restoration work is absolutely fantastic.
I will have no hesitation in recommending a visit to friends and family.

SS Great Briatin Members' Day…

Living relatively close to SS Great Britain, visiting it is one of those things that we recommend visitors do but don't do ourselves. Boundless' members' excellent value day was the spur needed to make us do it. Booking was simple and information fulsome. On arrival, we were greeted by friendly, helpful staff (and sweets!), who told us all we needed to know. The visit itself was interesting and enjoyable, even for our 6yo grandson. All in all, a great day out.

Great Welcome …

The welcome from the team was excellent and all information was handed out in a quick and easy fashion. The draw team was also excellent and was easy to enter.

Great day, really interesting

It was a great day out at a really good price. The whole venue was really interesting and informative; I particularly enjoyed the Brunel museum and spent more time there than on the ship.

A big thank you to the Boundless staff and volunteers for organising the event and spending time to welcome us.

Wow what a great day weather was…

Wow what a great day weather was fantastic but more importantly the biggest value for money we have had this year all credit to the Boundless team for their hard work. Two adults and to children one was 4 years old and had a wonderful time. My membership is due for renewal next month and I have saved this several times over attending your events in the past few years. I remember some 55 years ago when it was the CSMA and the biggest savings were when we bought engine oil, I think it was something like Duckhams 20/50 in 5
gallon round cans at a ridiculously small cost, how things have changed. Look forward to the other online and days out. Already booked Chessington, done Kew Gardens twice last year and Wakehurst once this year with another one in May and several local events.
Thank you all again for your commitment and hard work for your members

Hi PB, Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It’s fantastic to hear you and your family had such a great day and that you feel your membership continues to deliver real value. We loved hearing your memories of the early CSMA days too – what a journey it's been!

We really appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy all your upcoming events, including Chessington and Wakehurst. Thanks again for recognising the team’s hard work – it means a lot.

Stunning grounds and up close animal experiences

The grounds are absolutely stunning and the animals look well cared for with larger than average enclosures. There rewilding programme is so interesting and impactful. We loved hearing about the rhino rewilding successes and the impact on their population in the wild. Such great work

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings at Port Lympne and felt inspired by their rewilding work. The rhino success stories really are something special, and it’s great to hear how much that part of the day resonated with you.

We hope to see you at another event soon!

The Brindles day out

excellent value reduced entry price, lovely sunny day. bit of a queue on arrival which could perhaps have been organised better, & also had to ask separately for a site map, but otherwise a very enjoyable day, many thanks.

Member day at Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve (better known as Port Lympne Safari Park).

Member day at Port Lympne. Exceptionally good ticket price at £10 per person, compared to the standard £35 p/p. Well organised with QR coded tickets sent by email, plus a reminder and information notice by email nearer the event date. On the day, helpful, efficient, and jolly Boundless members welcoming visitors to the site. I thoroughly recommend this event should it become available again in the future.

We all had a fabulous day and enjoyed the trailer ride seeing lots of the animals on the way round. After a lovely lunch we did the Dinosaur walk and then continued our way around d the park seeing many more animals including the elusive Brown Bears. The weather was great too
