Flamingo Land Resort

Flamingo Land Resort is a theme park and award-winning zoo all rolled into one, promising an unforgettable experience for the whole family. There’s so much to do, you could be forgiven for coming back and doing it all over again.

The resort was built in 1959, when it was originally known as the Yorkshire Zoological Gardens and then Flamingo Park Zoo. After a while, Flamingo Land transformed into a permanent carnival, adding roller coasters to the site to put North Yorkshire on the thrill seeker’s map. Today, it has the second largest number of roller coasters in the United Kingdom – second only to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

There’s plenty to see and do at Flamingo Land, from gazing at the animals to jumping on thrill rides and taking part in events.

There’s also a large selection of farm animals, including donkeys, Shetland ponies, cows, guinea pigs and West African Pygmy goats.

The zoo includes talks, creature meetings and educational sessions. For an added fee, you can also take part in encounters with meerkats, giraffes, penguins and lemurs.

Flamingo Land Theme Park

Whether you’re in it for speed or comfort, there are all kinds of rides at the Flamingo Land theme park. A huge selection of roller coasters will keep your hair raised throughout the day. Experience rides such as:

• Sik – new for 2022, this high-octane attraction features 10 loops and twists.
• Mumbo Jumbo – G-force doesn’t come much better than this 112° vertical drop.
• Cliff Hanger – one of the tallest vertical drop rides in Europe takes riders on a freefall launch.

Height restrictions apply on each of these rides, so make sure you check before disappointing the little ones!

If you are looking for gentler rides, there’s plenty to do. The Dino Roller is the park’s lowest height restriction coaster, while Little Monsters Wacky Racers puts you in the driving seat. You can even join the resort’s Little Monsters as you roam the Mischief Mansion.
