Flamingo Land for a fun filled day out

Located between Scarborough and the historic city of York, Flamingo Land is brilliantly convenient for a day trip and an ideal base if you want to stay a bit longer and make the most of your adventure. Peak Season is from 29th March to 2nd November 2014, and is open daily from 10am (door open 9.30am).

THEME PARK

If you are looking for adrenaline-fuelled thrills, there is a sensational collection of extreme rides. The Theme Park is home to the new roller coaster Hero, which puts riders in a horizontal superhero flying position before swooping them around a track. There is also Mumbo Jumbo, the world’s steepest roller coaster (Guinness Book of Records 2009), Velocity the UK’s only motorbike launch coaster and Pterodactyl which swings you 150ft into the air.

There is a great choice of junior and family attractions. For good old family fun, head to kids favourite Splish Splosh where you can play out hilarious water battles together. Children’s Planet is an interactive play area that combines tunnels and climbing frames with enclosures of small mammals such as meerkats. Animatronic dinosaurs move and roar in the Dino-Stone Park area of Flamingo Land, along with full size dinosaur skeletons and a rope bridge. The rides in this section all have a dinosaur theme, such as Twistosaurus a family roller coaster where each of the cars spins independently around the track, so no 2 rides are the same. And Cyclosaur is a family attraction where riders go higher the faster they pedal.When it comes to entertainment Flamingo Land has a spectacular array of live shows to enjoy. Marvel at the Tanzanian acrobats performing every day – or the Bird or Sea Lion show.There is a wide range of restaurants and bars available during the day, ranging from a luxury sit down meal to a fish and chip takeaway.

ZOO

Flamingo Land’s zoo is the UK’s most visited. The Resort is famed for its environmental work with an award winning conservation project in Africa and endangered breeding programmes too.

There are over 140 species of reptiles, mammals and birds to enjoy. Seek out Sumatran tigers, lions, African rhinos, hippos, baboons, and kangaroos and discover the amazing penguin pool. Also come and see the new arrivals, a male and female Red Panda. There are 7 daily keeper talks included in your Admission for you to enjoy.
