Wicksteed Park in Kettering is a free-to-enter family day out with 281 acres of historic parkland, lakes, play spaces and rides for all ages.
Families can explore the Grade II listed park and gardens for free, then choose ride wristbands for unlimited rides or individual tickets for a few favourite attractions. From classic family rides and the historic Water Chute to Wicky's Play Factory for younger children, there is plenty to fill a full day out in Northamptonshire.
Explore 281 acres of parkland, meadows and lakes for free, then choose the ticket option that suits your family. Ride wristbands cover more than 25 rides and attractions, while individual ride tickets work well for families planning just a few rides.
Children under 0.9m can enjoy the park free of charge. For children aged eight and under, Wicky's Play Factory offers an indoor soft-play session that should be booked separately, making it a useful option for rainy days.
Rides and attractions can be affected by weather, maintenance and seasonal schedules. Check Wicksteed Park's live ride availability before setting off, especially during school holidays or when a particular ride is the main reason for your visit.
