Top Tips
Every theme park is different but here are some generic tips to help with your visit, whichever theme park you are going to:
 
  • Buy your tickets online before you go so you don’t have to worry about queuing when you get there!
  • Make sure you understand what your ticket includes before you book, as the tickets might have certain restrictions.
  • If you can, pick a good time of the year to travel: think about the weather, number of visitors, special events or firework nights.  
  • Get to the theme parks early to avoid too much overcrowding and queuing at the rides and water parks.
  • Try going on the most popular rides at lunch or later in the day, when everyone else has already been.
  • Try not to eat too many hot dogs before you go on the biggest ride of the park!
  • Bring snacks and drinks, this will help you save money when it’s a long day and you or your kids need refreshments.
  • Meeting point: always arrange one, as someone is bound to get lost if it’s a large park and it’s busy!
  • This is common sense, but remember to buy gifts and merchandise at the end of the day so you’re not carrying everything around with you.
  • Normally there are lockers too if you have any other items you want to get rid of at the beginning of the day.
