Here are just some of the highlights waiting for you…
Hop on our rides for all ages
Paultons Park is an amazing place to visit no matter your age, with exciting thrill rides for teenagers and older kids and gentler options for younger children. We’ve also got our exhilarating new area opening from 16th May 2026 called VALGARD: Realm of the Vikings, where you can explore our Nordic theme with our most thrilling coaster yet, Drakon.
For first-timers and toddlers, there are many calmer rides that chug along at a slower pace sprinkled around the Park, with the most options in Peppa Pig World.
Play, explore and meet amazing animals
There’s always so much happening in Paultons Park, it’s never easy choosing what to do next! Discover our animals in the Wild Lands or at our animal feeding shows, learning all about the exotic birds along the way. Or take a break from the rides while the kids keep the fun going on our many adventure playgrounds and play areas dotted throughout the Park. The little ones will have the chance to climb, slide and explore to their hearts’ content.
Relax, refuel and enjoy the surroundings
Spring is a wonderful time to enjoy Paultons Park, especially in our well looked after garden areas where the flowers are coming beautifully into bloom. If you’re looking for somewhere to go on a leisurely stroll, we have many options to take a breather, from The Main Garden with a standout fountain feature to the unique Victorian Garden with our whimsical carousel ride.
