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.
