Flamingo Land Holiday Village, North Yorkshire

There are plus points about having your birthday in the middle of the summer holidays - you'll never ever have to spend it at school being one of the main ones. But should you be a coaster junkie in the making it does rule out spending your birthday at one of the big parks scaring your Mum half to death. Niamh wanted to go to a theme park for her birthday she rattled off a list Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Chessington being the main contenders. When it was pointed out that she'd be lucky to go on say 8 rides in a whole day she wasn't too frilled by the thought of spending her birthday in a ... more

I HAVE NOTICED TODAY THAT I HAVE RECIEVED A DIAMOND FOR THIS REVIEW!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SAD NEWS! I VISITED FLAMINGO LAND YESTERDAY AND DISCOVERED THAT MANDY THE POLAR BEAR HAD DIED WITHIN DAYS OF ME WRITING THIS REVIEW. I DEDICATE THIS REVIEW TO HER.

This summer I went on holiday to Flamingo Land and had one of the best holidays of my life and so I would like to share my experiences of the park in the hopes that others will too enjoy it in the way that I did. The park itself is located in North Yorkshire about 20mins from Scarborough and Whitby. It is a family run theme park with an extensive zoo and holiday village.

I took my 2 children to Flamingo Land on Bank Holiday Monday, with my husband, our neighbours and their little girl. Anticipating rain, queues and bored three year olds, we couldn't have been more wrong. We had an absolutely wonderful day and there was so much to do. We arrived at Flamingo Land at about 9.30, and was delighted after getting in for free after using my days out tokens which I had redeemed through Tesco. Had I not, it would have cost us £52 just for two adults (3 and under are free). We decided that it would be wise to make our way to the far end of the park and work backwards ... more
