Set over 375 acres in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside,
Flamingo Land is the UK's only combined Theme Park, Zoo and Holiday Resort,
with over 100 rides, shows and attractions. Located between Scarborough
and the historic city of York, Flamingo Land is brilliantly
convenient for a day trip and an ideal base if you want to stay a bit longer
and make the most of your adventure. Peak Season is from 29th March to
2nd November 2014, and is open daily from 10am (door open 9.30am).
THEME PARK
If you are looking for adrenaline-fuelled thrills, there is
a sensational collection of extreme rides. The Theme Park is home to the new
roller coaster Hero, which puts riders in a horizontal superhero flying
position before swooping them around a track. There is also Mumbo Jumbo,
the world’s steepest roller coaster (Guinness Book of Records 2009), Velocity
the UK’s only motorbike launch coaster and Pterodactyl which swings you 150ft
into the air.
There is a great choice of junior and family attractions. For
good old family fun, head to kids favourite Splish Splosh where you can play
out hilarious water battles together. Children's Planet is an interactive
play area that combines tunnels and climbing frames with enclosures of small
mammals such as meerkats. Animatronic dinosaurs move and roar in the Dino-Stone Park
area of Flamingo Land, along with full size dinosaur skeletons and a rope
bridge. The rides in this section all have a dinosaur theme, such as
Twistosaurus a family roller coaster where each of the cars spins independently
around the track, so no 2 rides are the same. And Cyclosaur is a family
attraction where riders go higher the faster they pedal.When it comes to entertainment Flamingo Land has a
spectacular array of live shows to enjoy. Marvel at the Tanzanian acrobats
performing every day - or the Bird or Sea Lion show.There is a wide range of restaurants and bars available
during the day, ranging from a luxury sit down meal to a fish and chip
takeaway.
ZOO
Flamingo Land’s zoo is the UK’s most visited. The Resort is
famed for its environmental work with an award winning conservation project in
Africa and endangered breeding programmes too.
There are over 140 species of reptiles, mammals and birds to
enjoy. Seek out Sumatran tigers, lions, African rhinos, hippos, baboons, and
kangaroos and discover the amazing penguin pool. Also come and see the
new arrivals, a male and female Red Panda. There are 7 daily keeper talks included in your Admission
for you to enjoy.
ANIMAL EXPERIENCES
For true animal enthusiasts, our Animal Encounters let you
step behind the scenes and enjoy a first-hand experience with a penguin,
giraffe, lemur or meerkat. Lasting around 30 minutes, these hands-on
sessions make a great treat for just £20 per person. Pre-booking
recommended. Or why not meet all our animals at once and Be a Zoo Keeper
for the Day? For £175 you can spend 6 hours with the Zoo Keepers behind
the scenes of many of our exotic animals. Pre-booking required.

year through our teaching programmes. With a competitive entry price and
a variety of activities available, from interactive workshops and guided tours

range of curriculum-linked topics covers every level from early years to post
16's, and we also offer outreach programmes.
