It’s open from 12th of May until mid October which is a good time to be open considering summer school holidays and the times of open and closing are 10am till 6pm giving you plenty of time to explore the park.

In terms of rides they’re plenty to choose from whether it’s the shock tower rising at 40 feet until dropping near the ground in 3 seconds or the crazy Big Apple rollercoaster twisting and turning. If you’re in need for some grub then there’s no need to worry with the likes of Grillizo who serve scrumptious steaks, sizzling steaks and tasty burgers on the grill if that’s not your kettle of fish then head over to Fritas who serve crispy corn chips with melted cheese and bacon.
