If you have read some of my other reviews you will know that i love theme parks. So seeing though i have been to Flamingo land about 15 times, I should know enough about it to write a review on it.
I have been to Flamingo land about 15 times, but only stayed in one of their holiday homes once, not because i didn't like it,because i did. It was fantastic and the entertainment was really good. When we first got there i just thought we stayed in a holiday home and we had free entry into the park, but i can't be more wrong, it was fantastic, they had a pool and spa complex, tenniscourts and alot of entertainment. Our holiday home was really nice, these are some features which was included in our holiday home: ~ Colour televison. ~ Microwave. ~ Electricity and gas. ~ Fully equipped kitchen. ~ Vacuum cleaner. ~ Quilts and pillows.
When you stay here these are included as well: ~ Free entry into the park every day. ~ Free entry into the pool and spa complex. ~ Use of the tennis courts
~~~~~~~~PRICES~~~~~~~~
For one week in a holiday home it cost us around £500, which was well worth it. It is really hard to tell you the prices because they change though out the year.
~~~~~~~~~PARK~~~~~~~
The park it'self is fantastic, with rides for everybody, all ages
White knuckle valley This is home to seven of white knukle rides which include:
Wall magnam force~ This is europes only triple looping rollercoaster.

There is also: ~ Wild mouse ~ Corckscrew ~ Thunder mountain ~ Leg flume
At flamingo land they also offer a whole host of wonderful rides for youngsters these include: ~ The dragon. ~ Tea cups. ~ Junior driving school. ~ Jets. ~ Frog hopper.

They also have a bird walk which the animals in there include. ~ Giraffes ~ Rhinoceros ~ Hippopotamus
~~~Childrens farm~~~~ My little girl loved this, she wanted to take the animals home with her which was:
~ Pot-bellied pig ~ Goats ~ Donkeys ~ Rabbits can you see all them in my house, i don't think so.

My mum took me here years ago! My 2 brother were too scared to go on the one which drops you but I think it had a different name then like the Missile or something.
We also went to Americaln Adventure which is quite decent as well! K x
