Are the rides affected by cold weather, wind and rain?
Paultons Park is an outdoor attraction and the vast majority of the rides are outside.
Some rides and attractions are affected by the weather and may close during extreme conditions such as very low temperatures, high winds, very heavy rain or thunder and lightning.
The safety of our guests and staff is always our number one priority – please be assured that we constantly monitor weather conditions in real time, using our very own weather station, to enable us to adjust the operation of rides accordingly.
