Fun for the whole family
For anyone looking for something to do with the whole family, theme and adventure parks are a good choice, particularly outside of term time, as many of the UK’s top parks offer special rates and additional attractions during the holidays, so you can be sure of even more fun during Easter, Summer and at Christmas time. For anyone who wants to avoid the crowds and queues of the holidays, you can head to these parks during term time and enjoy a calmer day out! Many of the UK’s parks offer additional facilities for those with accessibilities needs including policies on skipping queues, additional entry points and rides that are wheelchair friendly.
Theme Parks and Adventure Parks are perfect for a family day out. All of them provide a range of activities designed to entertain, whatever your age. Some are marketed to young children, while others are more suited to adults or families with older children. Each have their own individual rides, some more intense than others, but all of them have rides and attractions that are suitable for all their guests. Some of these parks are designed around a theme, such as farmyard animal adventure parks, dinosaurs or space, while others have certain rides that are themed with animatronics and decorations to create a scary atmosphere or something more family friendly.
Many of the UK’s theme parks have dedicated areas including soft play and outdoor play areas, as well as gentle mini trains which are perfect for the smaller members of the family, those with sensitive stomachs or anyone who is working up to the larger rides, so there really is something for everyone.
The sites these parks are based on provide all the facilities you could need for a day trip and it’s quite easy to spend several hours there without needing to leave the site. Some of them even have hotels nearby or onsite for those of you who want to stay longer! You’ll find all of the sites, whether they are small parks or large ones, will have a choice of eateries, toilets and comfortable areas where you can sit and relax for a while.
Indoor and outdoor entertainment
We know the weather in Britain can be a bit predictable, the theme and adventure parks are well prepared for this, there are a number of them that have indoor attractions, so even if the weather is bad, you’ll still have lots to do, while others are happy to reissue tickets for another time if bad weather means that rides or attractions can’t be safely used. The bad weather policy will be available when you book your tickets, so make sure to check it to see what is available in the event of rain or strong winds.
In recent years, the UK’s theme and adventure parks have made great efforts to make their sites as accessible as possible, there are many rides that are suitable for all ages, abilities and mobilities, plus many of the parks offer passes that mean you don’t have to queue for ages as well as accessible bathrooms. Some even have rides that are suitable to bring wheelchairs and mobility aids with you, just check with the park when booking.
Whatever kind of adventure park you’re into, you’ll have a really great day out at one of Britain’s many parks and resorts.
