 Variations on a Theme
If you're thinking of taking children to a theme park, there are dozens to choose from in Britain. We
asked five families to test the best.

A. Fun Island - The Burns family

Last year we went to a huge theme park in the US and we thought that Fun Island might seem dull
by comparison. In fact, we were impressed. The park tries hard to cater for younger children, so our
three-year-old didn’t feel left out. The kids all loved the Crocodile Ride and the Giant Wheel. There's
a special dodgems ride for the very young kids, which was a great success. For older children, there
are scarier rides, such as Splash Out, where you end up jumping in a pool! After five hours, Steve
and I were ready to call it a day, but the children objected because they were having such fun. Our
only criticism would be that the park is slightly lacking in atmosphere, and the scenery leaves
something to be desired. But the staff are extremely helpful and we felt it was clean, well organised
and very security-conscious.
B. Wonderland - The McMillan family

None of us had been to a theme park before, so we didn’t know what to expect. We thought Oscar
might be too young, but he adored it. He was in heaven on the Mountain Train, and particularly liked
Little Land, with its small replicas of famous buildings that were at his level! The older children
enjoyed the ferris wheel, and loved driving the toy cars on a proper road layout. We spent six hours
there and were glad that there were places where you could put your feet up. The landscaping is
perfect and the staff very helpful and friendly. And there’s something for everyone, adults included.
C. Adventure World — The Jeffree family

After seven hours we felt there was still a lot to see. The children loved the Big Top Circus, which
had a fantastic trapeze act and kept us on the edge of our seats. We went on the Terror Line and,
although the girls were rather scared and kept their eyes shut most of the time, they said they’d
enjoyed it. Their favourite ride was Running River, where you think you’re going to get soaked, but
you don’t. For younger children, Toy Land is great fun. The children had a look at the new ride. Fear
Factor, but we breathed a sigh of relief when they found that they were too small to go on it! The
park is so well designed that even queuing for rides isn’t too boring. It’s spotlessly clean, and the
staff are great. On one ride I couldn’t sit with both girls, so a member of staff offered to go with one
of them.
D. The Great Park - The Langridge family

We arrived at one o’clock and were disappointed that the park was only open until 5 p.m. This is a
super theme park for younger children because the rides aren’t too terrifying. I’m a real coward but
even I enjoyed myself. We all adored Exotic Travels, a boat ride which starts off quite tamely and
then becomes terrific fun. We queued for half an hour for Lightning River, and then it was over before
we knew it! I wouldn’t go on the Big Leap, but if you have the nerve, it looked great. If the children
had been a little older, they might have found it a bit tame, but they were all in the right age group
and they loved it.
E. Fantasy World - The Breakall family

According to the park’s advertising there is 'No Limit to the Fun', and we certainly felt that was true.
Europe’s tallest roller-coaster, the Rocket, dominates the skyline, and Ben thought it was the most
terrifying of the rides, although Jennie said the Hanger, where you hang upside-down 30 metres
above the ground, was even worse! There are a dozen or so main rides, which the older children
went on several times. Sarah was too small for a couple of them, but enjoyed the Long Slide. We
found the staff attitudes were mixed. Some of them were great with the younger children, but the
welcome wasn’t always as warm. You need a full day to enjoy Fantasy World. We wouldn’t have
dared tell the kids we were going home early.
