Theme Parks & Fairgrounds in Hull
If you fancy a proper theme park day, you are looking at a drive from Hull rather than anything on the doorstep, but there is enough choice to make it worth the petrol. Sundown Adventureland out at Rampton near Retford is built for under-10s, with over 30 rides and free entry for anyone under 90cm, from £16.60. Diggerland Yorkshire in Castleford lets kids drive real diggers and dumpers, tickets from £12.97 for ages 4-14, with over 20 rides thrown in. Further out, Gulliver's Valley near Rotherham covers ages 2-13 with Lost World dinosaurs and Western World rides, from £26 online. For toddlers, Sundown's height-based free entry is hard to beat. Older children get more from Diggerland or a longer trip out to Rotherham for Gulliver's Valley or the pay-as-you-go Fun Park, where rides start from £1 and there's mini golf and dodgems too. Everything here is outdoors, so pack for weather, and most places ask you to book ahead rather than turn up on spec.
