Rides and Attractions
One of the main reasons families pay a visit to the Lightwater Valley Family Park is for the many theme park rides and ride experience. From popular fairground rides like Kangaroo Jump to the swashbuckling Pirate Swinger and attractions for thrill seekers. We think your kids will feel like they are having mega adventures here! With over 40 rides to choose from, there's plenty of family favourites and rides for the little ones too and the Lady Bird roller coaster might just be our favourite - it's perfect for your mini thrill seekers!
Want something new to explore? Discovery Woods is right up your street, with a wide range of outdoor activities, lakeside woodland nature trails, and all the creepy crawlies, bug hotels and majestic birds you can discover! Fish for creatures big and small and go Pond Dipping in Swan Lake! The perfect activity for warm weather and sun shining days and fun adventures!
If you love heights, Dragon Drop and Eagle's Claw will have you soaring high in the sky, with tensions rippling through the air as you zoom around and about. And for the little ones, Elephant Flight is something they'll squeal with joy as they soar slightly high, on a magical carriage. There are also the Hot Air Balloons to soar above in, all brightly coloured and amazing and the Flying Cutlass for those with a brave heart and a passion for heights! There’s plenty of great family fun too, from the Lightwater Express train and tractor rides, to the indoor AND outdoor adventure parks!
