Tips & Advice

  • Check their Facebook page for the most up-to-date information on running days, special events, and any potential changes to the schedule.
  • Arrive early on special event days, such as the Halloween special or Easter Eggspress, to ensure you don't miss out on the fun.
  • Bring cash for rides, as while the price is low (£1.00 per ride), it's best to be prepared for on-the-day purchases.
  • Consider visiting during the school holidays for extended operating hours on Wednesdays, offering more opportunities for a ride.
  • The Halloween special often offers a free ride for children in fancy dress, so encourage costumes for extra fun and savings.
