Lightwater Valley Reviews

LIGHTWATER VALLEY It's become a bit of a "thing" that we try a theme park over the summer hols and although I don't go on any of the rides, I go along as chief bag carrier and usually have a good time! Last year we went to Flamingo Land and because of the road works on the motorway I wanted somewhere closer so it was decided ...  Read the complete review

Just come back from a day at Lightwater Valley and it was dreadful. The starting point was that we were advised that the Hornet's Nest ride was out of action due to technical difficulties i.e. it was broken. Never mind there are lots of other rides. For their first ride, they chose the Eagles Claw and had to wait for one ...  Read the complete review

Just off the A19 in Ripon in North Yorkshire England. Following a recent visit to Lightwater Valley with 4 teenagers I would like to say that we had a nice day out but I didn't think that it was value for money. 2 adults and 4 teens and too see the bird show cost us around £120 for the day. There were a few good rides, the ...  Read the complete review

I've visited Lightwater Valley Theme Park a few times, and it's not that bad for goodness sake! On a lovely sunny day it's a very pretty place set in all those acres of grassland. OK the rides are not so close together but that's the beauty of the place, and healthier - you get a good walk aswell as some fun. Plenty of places to sit and rest, ...  Read the complete review

Lightwater Valley has got to be the worst theme park I have ever been to! When you get there straight away its like walking into a large field, each ride is really spread out over a large area and it just looks empty. There is no 'theme' either, or if there is then its really not obvious what it is! It has one ok ride which is the ...  Read the complete review

Went to this park about 15 years ago and decided to visit again Wed 15th April 09, what a waste of time and money. Park hasn`t changed that much, Arrived at the park at 12pm and left at 2.30pm after only going on two rides. We got locked on The Claw for an hour in total, Just mine and my husbands carriage wouldn`t unlock. The girl operating the ...  Read the complete review

Old fashioned and boring. Does not compare to other theme parks. A total waste of the £62 i paid for a family of 4. Three of the main rides were closed. Give it a miss. Worst day of my life.Would not go again if paid to. Food was expensive and rubbish.

This was the second time we have visited in exactly a year and my impression hasn't changed. It cost £78 for a family of five which doesn't sound much per person but when you add all the sweets ad toys to that you are looking at a ton at least ... for a day out. Notice that I didn't mention buying food. We made that mistake last year and we 'll ...  Read the complete review

To start with the price for kids is way to high, £60 for a 3 and a 4 year old and 2 adults is extortionate considering adults with these age children cannot go on any rides their selfs. The queues are long for example if you want to go on the petrol go karts expect to wait at least an hour, considering this isn't one of the main attractions its not too good. The food prices are too high, and if you don't like wasps your in for a stressful day because all the bins are open with wasps in and out of them, badly situated next to queues, it looked like a nightclub with all the people waving their arms around wafting wasps away. If your kids are under 1.3 meters tall I would go to Drayton Manor or Flamingo land instead.

I last visited light water valley last summer, and I have to say it was a day to remember. The whole family really enjoyed it as there was something for everyone, I enjoyed the scenery and the walk around the park as I am not a great rollercoaster lover I found that I was very happy just taking in the sunshine, while the rest of the family ...  Read the complete review

I dint think much to light water valley, the food was too expencive and for whats there it cost too much to get in.
It's probably best for young children. The rides are too far apart from each other. The staff were not very helpfull. You will be best going to flamingo land, which is better suited for older children and theres animals.

Lightwater Valley styles itself as ‘the family sized theme park’ and is situated in North Yorkshire, close to Ripon, and easily accessible from the A1. The park is spread out across quite a large area and the attractions range from small family rides to moderately scary roller coasters. The overall theme of the park is simply generic and, in ...  Read the complete review

One of our local newspapers held a competition for two free tickets to the Lightwater Valley Theme Park, near Ripon in Yorkshire and I was lucky enough to win this competition. Normally the adult admission tickets are £12.95 each so this would save us quite a bit of money, but it did involve a 200 mile round trip to get there and back. We ...  Read the complete review
