Very dissappionted alot of rides were closed tickets very expensive for what you get

I have been going to flamingoland since I was a kid and I'm 63 now, iv took my kids now my grandkids, yes we got 8 tickets discounted to £195, but how disappointed i was, barely anything open, so much closed down, barely any animals, this was for my grandaughters 12th birthday, im definitely done with flamingoland sadly.

If Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, flamingo land would be the most depressing.

We had the pleasure of spending £170 and driving from Liverpool for our daughter’s 6th birthday to visit flamingo land. The disorganisation was visible within 10 minutes of arriving at the park. The staff were the most miserable I’ve ever come across, and quite honestly I’d be depressed if I had to spend my day working in that place.

6/7 of the main rides weren’t open. The organisation of the queues and getting people on and off rides was slow and painful. The place was filthy. The food hall was a disgrace over cooked, overpriced food that you wouldn’t feed a dog.

The soft play area was also being used as a staff break room. No atmosphere, music or joy of any kind could be found. The place felt dated and rundown. And I appreciated this isn’t the parks fault but I witnessed serval heated arguments between guests. We just left feeling depressed and ripped off.

I’d sent an email 4 weeks ago to flamingo land sharing my experience, and they haven’t even bothered to respond. I urge anyone to not waste their money and go somewhere else. We go to theme parks in the U.K. and abroad often, and have never had an experience like we did at flamingo land. Exactly disappointing.

Longish queues for the big rides. entry fee expensive so would look for a deal and book online. went to pay for a fast pass as a birthday treat until they told me if was £50 and only let me on 5 rides/1 per hour and still had to que for the rest. absolute joke, cant imagine anyone paying for this. orherwise a good day out

Never been there but why the heck would you charge 50£ per person for a regular theme park. I choose other ones for example Dryton manor for 29£

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Money ⭐⭐☆☆☆
Visited today and honestly came away feeling let down. The biggest roller coaster was closed, which was a major disappointment. Most rides had queues of over 45 minutes, and despite paying £50 each for VIP tickets, they didn’t feel worth it at all since you still have to wait an hour between rides.
On top of that, several food outlets were closed, and the burger stand even ran out of burgers by 2:30 PM — not great for a busy park day. The staff seemed undertrained and unmotivated, which really didn’t help with keeping lines moving smoothly.
Overall, I’d save your money and head to Alton Towers instead — you’ll likely get a better experience.

Fantastic park with a great variety of rides for all ages. Only 2 rides not working when we visited yesterday 24/8/25. Queueing time was pretty ok on most rides. We had disabled and carer bands and still had to wait and hour on one ride though. The biggest let down, which can't be helped was wasps. We were pestered by them constantly all day. I would advise not wearing heavily perfumed products or they will hound you.

I visited on 20 th August 2025 at ten in morning with disabled adult a teenager and disabled partner . Soon realised four big attraction rides closed animals no where be seen most park with miserable staff and filthy enclosure with wasps all round food enclosures . Park declined 100 percent to August 2024. I visited then and yesterday weekday ie Wednesday 20 August 2025 was worst day . Kids when on 3 rides out whole park . Walked round ghost zoo ie three four animals seen in filthy enclosures . Rides not filled ie two seats empty per ride as watched as waited 60 mins ride witnessed why staff kids not filling rides people fed up go home . So complain get Andy Gilbert say he has right close rides so take money go home we don’t care kids or people only taking your money ie greed . So staff don’t care park , animals or people . Go to Legoland Windsor or Chessington near London for professional experience and day out which staff do care in job .

Tired, dirty and overpriced. My first visit for a child’s birthday treat. Our 5 hour visit yielded 6 rides due to the queues and a ride breaking down after an hours wait just as we were ready to go. I’m sure there’s better ways to spend £194 for four people. An unpleasant experience not to be repeated.

Come on flamingo land ,you have been a long time favourite for my self ,children ,and now grandchildren .
Nice new rollercoasters .What about the rest of the park ,that needs updating .Definitely some
scruffiness .And just get rid of the very very old monorail ,maybe put it in a museum .
And what’s happened to the animals ,where are they ?
Lots gone .

We stayed in a caravan for 7 days, price was surprisingly good. Was very clean and got all access everyday for the rides, zoo & farm.

Entertainment was good for adults and children, staff were nice also.

Definitely worth staying if you want things to do everyday.

Only downside is the amount of wasps, it is what it is though.

Overpriced and overrated. Used to be a good day out but the gate prices now are just robbery in disguise. Go to Alton towers, better rides, better atmosphere and cheaper to get in. Won’t be back for the foreseeable future unless prices are seriously reduced or there is a compelling special offer! You will price yourselves out of the market flamingo land! Sure there’s a basic zoo but if that’s what you want go to a zoo and pay £20 in for the day!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to spend nearly £200 for three people to be greeted by the enthusiasm of a damp sponge, Flamingo Land is the place for you. The staff were a masterclass in misery and disorganisation, it’s almost impressive how consistently they pulled it off.

The highlight of our day? Being told, with suspicious glee, that you have to wait an hour between rides with a fast pass… and no, you can’t ride the same ride again. The only ride you will be taking repeatedly is the emotional rollercoaster of frustration.

Of course, after patiently queuing for 45 minutes on three separate rides, each one decided to break down just as it was our turn. Honestly, the suspense was thrilling…….would the ride work this time, or would we get another scenic walk back past the queue we just wasted nearly an hour in? Spoiler: it’s the second one.

To really round off the experience, the park had a charming “post-apocalyptic chic” vibe, litter on the ground, sticky tables, and bins that looked like they’d given up on life.

We decided to cheer ourselves up with some fish and chips, which, at their price, I assumed came with a free flamingo. Sadly, no. The best part of the meal was the wrapper — and that’s only because it didn’t talk back to us.

In summary: if you enjoy long waits, broken rides, overpriced food, dirty surroundings, and staff that make you nostalgic for your last visit to the DMV, this is the perfect day out.

We just got back from Flamingo Land Resort for a Monday - Friday, stay in one of their Platinum Vans. This was my first trip to Flamingo Land for over 30 years, and I was starting to get a little concerned, having read some of the reviews before we set off. But I needn't have been. We had a fantastic time. So, to address some of the other reviews. We couldn't comment on being a day visitor and any value for money associated, but I did speak to another Dad in a queue, who was full of praise that the Park had allowed him to move his ticketed day, and he was having a great time with his kids.
Wasps - yes, there are wasps, just like everywhere at the moment, and yes, they like to hang around sweet food and bins. But they didn't harras us, and the bins were regularly changed to try and reduce them. What else can the park do!?
Long queue times - on cloudy days the big rides were about 25-50 minutes, on hotter days 40-65 minutes, like most other theme parks I've been to. I'd seen it suggested that they could improve by letting resort guests in earlier. I found out on the second day that I could enter the park early and join most queues ready to ride by 10, sometimes before. Sik had a single rider line, which some of the older rides would benefit from, but staff always tried to shout down the queue to bring single riders up to fill the rides. There was a good range of things to do to keep our 8 and 10 yr olds happy. Yes, some older parts of the park were starting to look tired and required a bit of TLC, but other theme parks I've visited over the last few years have been the same. There is investment, but in new stuff, rather than general theme maintenance of older bits.
The Zoo- I had read some reviews about poor conditions and lack of enrichment. That wasn't my experience. There were again some areas that appeared to require maintenance, but not at the detriment of the animals, and they are investing in new areas, and moving animals to keep the animals engaged and improve enrichment. The keepers were all really knowledgeable, considerate, and had an obvious passion for animals.
Accommodation- the platinum van was relatively clean and well stocked, with welcome tea and coffee. We were located in the Hawthorns (right near the evening venue), which worried us, but didn't keep us awake, so no issue there, and only a short walk into the park. We only had a few niggles. The double bed only had a single sheet and duvet on it (this was sorted immediately after we raised it at reception). Some elements of the van lay out are poor. Mirrors on the opposite side of the room to plug sockets (not helpfull for hair driers and straighteners), and lack of hooks, nowhere to hang coats, and nowhere to hang things in the bathroom. Like I say little niggles.
Food- again some really poor reviews. We only ate out on the Thursday, at the Coach House. We booked a table, and the food was great. Also the play area outside, kept the little ones occupied whilst we waited. The food wasn't too expensive and the portion was massive, in fact I was too full to have desert.
Last of all, a thankyou to all the staff. I saw a lot of criticism online about miserable staff. Yes, we saw some grumpy looking staff, but I can't keep a smile on all day, specially in the heat, so I have no problem with lack of fake Disney smiles. All the staff I engaged with were curtious and friendly, making for a great stay. In particular: Errol in reception was always there to help, and sorted any requests immediately. Aisha, the Zoo Keeper that took us on the 'Walk on the Wild Side', was passionate and professional about her job, as well as being kind, friendly and funny, really making our day. And the guys at the 'Crazy Combat' laser tag, although not employed by the park, we're also awesome.
I believe that going in with realistic expectations and being friendly to the staff, will make for a great holiday.
Thankyou Flamingo Land, we will be back.

I went on the Tuesday the 5th July with 5 adults 5 grandchildren was a good day although there was no where to have a drink the pub was closed also my grandchild is three and Autistic her mum was not allowed on the teacups was a bit disappointed all the way from Scotland that dose not happen hear overall a good day although the weather was not the best

Me and afew attended on Wednesday 8th August 2025 what a pointless trip, we went on afew rides waiting in line to reach almost near and to be told issues with the rides closed until further notice other rides completely closed the zoo limited animals and some none seen for the ones listed. What a whole waste to the money as all the rides that my children wanted to go on was not open.
I want a full refund we only got to go on literally 4-5 rides

Been today kids absolutely loved the rides and not a long wait at all, the only thing that was really upsetting and sad was seeing the tiger 😞 he/she has actually worn and a path around the enclosure where it’s just kept pacing round. Looking sad and skinny with no muscle. There were no enrichment things put in the enclosure. When I saw the flamingos happy and playing in the water why not let the tiger have a pool? It was so sad and played on my mind the rest of the visit.

I'm here now, rip off everything £2300 for a week in a caravan.. need my head testing. Got to get a second mortgage to have a half decent time here. Food... £54 for three burgers and two kids meals. 3 pints and two fruit shoots, £30. Day refillable cup, and i dont mean anything alcoholic... £18!!!! Yesterday upon arrival we weren't allowed in caravan till 5pm. How's that fair? Half the day gone. Day was miserable and it still is for us. Three kids rides open, everything else was shut. Today, absolutely chocker and my son foolishly waited two hours to go on one rollacoster. This is without question, rip off Britain at its finest. Place has no decerning qualities whatsoever.

£58 a person. 3 of the large rides were closed so the open rides had massive queues of well over an hour so we only got 5 rides. The picture kiosks were closed the little train wasnt working.No shelters from sun or rain. A sewer overflowed so we had to paddle through foul smelling liquid to get to the cafe. The staff were miserable, unhelpful and bored.
We will never go back. Needs a serious upgrade.

Was there yesterday. It run down, it’s over crowded with no crowd control, £3 for a bottle of coke, £30 for 2 burgers, fries and drinks oh and it was £102 just to get in for me and my son. They do offer a VIP pass to get on the main rides for an extra £50 each, but you can only go on each ride once and you still have to wait an hr between each ride. Unfortunately the owners are just about greed now
