Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park

Nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and just a few miles from Ripon, Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park offers a day out brim-full of activities and experiences for the whole family. Visitors can discover over 35 rides and attractions including the park’s family favourites…the Eagle’s Claw, Skyrider and of course Lady Bird rollercoaster. Step aboard the Savanna Express for a journey through the African wilderness, twist and turn on the Little Dipper or plunge into Splash Falls on a rubber dinghy. For gentler thrills, there’s fairground fun with the traditional carousel ride, the Lightwater Express train, Swan Boats and indoor Soft Play. We have a whole host of brand new attractions for the 2022 season! There’s an amusement arcade filled with a range of games designed to appeal to visitors of all ages; from classic fairground coin pusher slots to state of the art Virtual Reality Experiences. Immerse yourself in our new Hall of Mirrors, a room full of distortions that will have you giggling all day, or run to one of our new rides, the Twist and Turn as well as the timeless appeal of the Dodgems ride. Nature lovers will adore ‘Discovery Woods’, an interactive outdoor experience featuring a lakeside nature trail, mud kitchen and bug hotels, as well as pond dipping and cloud gazing. In the park’s tree tops, visitors can discover an aerial woodland walk with a difference, as they bounce around giant trampoline nets suspending high above the park. Tree Top Trails covers over 2000 square metres and is the biggest of its kind in the UK! up to 12 metres from the ground. All the fun of the park is bound to build an appetite and 2022 sees an extended food offering for visitors to indulge in, including the Big Fish Trading Company, serving the best fish and chips in Yorkshire and Luigi’s all you can eat Pizza & Pasta Restaurant, as well as a new range of healthy, veggie and vegan options.
