Why visit
Choose M&D’s when your family wants flexible rides and indoor activities rather than one fixed admission package. Outdoor rides are the headline in season, while bowling, soft play, Amazonia, arcade games and adventure golf can extend the day or provide a weather backup.
Cost choice
Entry to the park is free. Compare pay-as-you-go Fun Points with the wristband or toddler package offered for your date before buying.
Younger children
The Adult & Toddler package is designed for children under 1.1m and covers a defined selection rather than every ride.
Weather plan
Indoor activities are useful backups, but they are separately priced and have their own opening times.
Choose the visit before choosing the ticket
Start with the current ride list and your children’s heights. Fun Points suit a shorter or selective visit; a wristband may suit children who can and will repeat enough included outdoor rides.
Indoor attractions are not simply part of one park ticket. Treat bowling, soft play, Amazonia, arcade games and adventure golf as separate choices when setting a budget.
Outdoor rides and toddler options
The outdoor park includes family and thrill rides, but restrictions differ by ride. The venue’s Adult & Toddler package gives under-1.1m children a smaller defined selection with an accompanying adult.
Check the live ride and restriction information before travelling because availability can change with season, weather and maintenance.
Rainy-day options
The indoor attractions make this site more flexible than an outdoor-only park, but opening hours and admission are separate. Pick one realistic backup rather than assuming every indoor activity will be open.
Facilities and access
The venue lists free parking, Blue Badge bays, toilets, accessible toilets, baby changing, first aid, lockers, food outlets and a picnic area. Ramps and a stairlift support parts of the site.
Some rides may not suit every wheelchair user or transfer need. Ask staff about the specific attractions you plan to use and arrange any eligible carer pass with the required evidence.
