What it’s like
Free entry with over 40 rides, from a dark coaster to go karts, and you pay only for a wristband or the rides you actually fancy.
This is a proper theme park rather than a fairground bolted onto a caravan site. Over 40 attractions including the Bulldog Coaster, the Astro Storm Dark Coaster and the Caterpillar Coaster for the ones brave enough, plus a traditional carousel, Rainbow Cups and Fantasia for anyone smaller who isn't ready for loops yet. Go karts, dodgems and trampolines sit alongside Congo Adventure Golf if you fancy a breather from queuing.
Getting in costs nothing. You either buy a wristband for unlimited rides or load a Fun Card and pay per ride, which suits you if your gang is mixed between a toddler who wants the carousel twice and a ten-year-old who wants everything with a height restriction. Prices move with the calendar, Orange Days are the cheap ones and Blue Days the priciest, and booking online knocks 10% off wristbands. Worth knowing the Blue Day band drops to £25 if you turn up after 3pm, useful if you're not fussed about a full day.
The catch is the height bands rather than ages: Tots covers 0.8m to 1.0m, Junior 1.0m to 1.2m, and Mega is 1.2m and over, so it's worth measuring your kids before you commit to a wristband tier. There's no fast-track queue system, so a Blue Day in summer with unlimited-ride wristbands could mean a fair bit of standing about. All the rides are step access only with no flat approaches, and under-12s need a supervising adult with them.
Parking runs on number plate recognition with a 10-minute grace period before a £100 fine, so don't dawdle in the car park chatting. If it rains solidly for three hours or more during your visit, they'll give you a free return day, which takes some of the sting out of a soggy trip.

Plan your visit
Do we have to pay to get in?
No, entry to the park itself is free. You pay either for a wristband for unlimited rides or load a Fun Card and pay per ride.
How much is a wristband?
It depends on the day type and height band. Mega wristbands run from £20 on Orange Days up to £32 on Blue Days, with Junior and Tots priced lower.
What's the difference between the wristband types?
Tots is for 0.8m to 1.0m, Junior is 1.0m to 1.2m, and Mega is for anyone 1.2m and over. Measure your kids before you buy, since the price jumps between tiers.
Can we just pay per ride instead?
The Fun Card works like a contactless top-up. Each ride costs between 2 and 6 credits, with 1 credit equal to £1.
Is there a discount for booking online?
10% off wristbands and 3 Day Passes if you book online, plus two free Fun Card credits when you buy 10.
What happens if it rains?
If it rains solidly for more than three hours during your visit, you get a free return day any time that season.
Is there parking?
At South Road and by Brean Splash, but it's pay to park and runs on number plate recognition. There's only a 10-minute grace period before a £100 fine, so don't leave it too long.
Are the rides accessible for wheelchairs?
Mobility scooters and wheelchairs are permitted around the park, and a helper wristband is £10 when you also buy a rider's wristband. All the rides themselves are step access only, no flat approaches.
Can we bring the dog?
Assistance and guide dogs are welcome on the park but not on the rides, and they can't be left unattended.
Do you need to book in advance?
You don't have to, but booking online gets you 10% off wristbands and 3 Day Passes.
Is there a dress code for rides?
A shirt and suitable footwear are required, and some rides insist on socks too.
What if we want to visit more than one day?
There's a 3 Day Band and a full Season Pass if you're staying nearby and want more than a single visit.
