Paultons Park

Paultons Park – named UK number one in the Traveller’s Choice top 10 amusement parks and water parks by TripAdvisor in 2013 will re-open for the school half term on Sunday February 16.

Guests will be able to enjoy more than 60 wonderful rides and attractions, including favourites such as EDGE, Cobra-Paultons’ biggest rollercoaster, Magma, the Raging River Ride and the world’s first and UK exclusive Peppa Pig World.

There will possibly be a chance to glimpse the new Victorian double-decker carousel ride which will be opening to the public at Easter.

As well as the traditional carousel, other new additions to Paultons Park for the 2014 season include the much anticipated Wildwoods restaurant which will be located in the new guest welcome building at the entrance of the Park.
