Whether you’re organizing a family day out or coordinating a school trip, the UK offers a variety of fantastic theme parks to cater to every group. Explore our top picks for theme parks that suit different preferences.
For the Thrill Seekers
For the ultimate thrill-seekers, Thorpe Park stands as the UK’s most exhilarating theme park, located just 20 miles from central London. Featuring the UK’s only winged coaster and the world’s first horror-themed roller coaster, SAW – The Ride, with a daring 100ft “beyond-vertical” drop. On hot days, the super-soaking 85 ft drop of Tidal Wave ensures you won’t leave without a splash.
For Family Fun
If family fun is the priority, consider LEGOLAND or Chessington World of Adventures, or why not both! Chessington not only offers 10 lands and a variety of enjoyable yet not-too-thrilling rides but also boasts a zoo alongside the theme park. At LEGOLAND, children aged 3 to 12 will delight in rides, shows, and attractions inspired by popular LEGO and DUPLO brands.
For a Bit of Both
Alton Towers is the ideal choice for a mixed group. Thrill-seekers can enjoy rides like Rita, Nemesis, and Galactica, while those preferring a slower pace can revel in the stunning gardens. For the little ones, CBeebies Land provides a dedicated section for their enjoyment. Keep in mind that Alton Towers is expansive, so comfortable shoes are a must.
Bonus Choice
As proud Derbyshire dwellers, we can’t help but include one of our personal favorites – Gulliver’s Kingdom in Matlock Bath. Originating in Derbyshire and now spread across the country, the original Gulliver’s holds a special place in our hearts. With rides perfectly sized for little ones, it guarantees entertainment. Just be prepared for the steep hill it’s situated on.
