About

Adventure Island – The UK’s No.1 Free Entry Theme Park!

With over 40 incredible rides and attractions, thrill-seekers can take on adrenaline-pumping rides like the high-flying Axis, while those after a more scenic experience can enjoy breathtaking views of the seafront from The City Wheel. Day tickets start from just £20 online – or make the fun last all year with an annual pass for only £50.

There truly is something for everyone at Adventure Island. Prefer a more relaxed pace? Just next door you’ll find Funtopia Indoor Amusement Park – perfect for families with younger children. It features a fun-packed arcade, gentle rides, and a soft play area for little adventurers. Even better, it’s included in both the day wristbands and annual passes!

After a fun-filled day, refuel at one of the park’s 17 food and drink outlets – whether you’re craving a fluffy candy floss, a classic hotdog, or something more substantial, there’s plenty to choose from.
