Lightwater Valley

Considering this park charges the going rate for theme parks the rides are broken and out-of-date. 3 out of 9 of the thrill rides were out of order at one time leaving my family very disappointed. Apart from 3 rides on the park they all need a facelift - if not scrapped! It was very difficult knowing where queues started and where ride's exits were. Needs a modern rollercoaster for the price they are charging. Overpriced sweets/goods. Toilet facilities very poor - lacking in number, cleanliness and clear signage. 'New for 2015' Light Show nothing to write home about apart from somewhere to shelter from the rain. Overall definitely not worth the money - go elsewhere and have a good day!!

we had a fab day out with our very young kids, the new angry birds sections were great, and there are so many rides even the tiny ones can go on. then when we got home i won 5 free season tickets in a competition! so obviously i'm one very happy customer! :)

Go here about twice every year great fun in fact going this Thursday (4th April 2013) I love it so much there is something for all the family the little fairground area for the little ones then stuff for the slight dare devils (ladybird, sky rider ect.) then obviously plenty for the older ones or the daring ones. I would recommend it to any family! The food is a bit on the expensive side but the park surroundings and staff completely push that out the way. I was there and I lost my phone a young lad called [name removed] told me straight where to go and helped me get it back! It is rather expensive to get in but once again the positive things totally take over that! Everyone thinks the staff are strict and don't let you on it your are like 1cm infer but all they are doing is doing the job! After you have been in the park there is the mini shopping park to get a little souvineur or something also a rather small sweet shop but full of choice! The mini hold is great for the kids so I would recommend it to anyone who likes a great day out!!

from booking on line to following directions everything was easy.

I had 4 children frm 5 to twelve and more importantltly fom 1.2 upwards. Staff precise but gentle (we didn't try to go on a ride that wasn't height allowed but watched your staff deal with this expertly and charmingly.}

We had a fantastic day.

Overall a good day out for the family. One of the best attractions in the surrounding area. The queues aren't as intense as some of the other theme parks which saves time.

Have not yet seen this years new attractions, but Lightwater Valley is one place where you are bored after 2pm, I have visited most years since before I could walk and its still just as boring after a while. Food is very expensive too.

went to the park on 14/6/11 with my mother and father inlaw, my wife and 3 children. father in law wanted to meet us and spend a family day out for his birthday. he phoned the park on friday 10th june to confirm we would be attending 14/6/11 as the weather forecast for that day was very good. my family travelled from scarborough(about 2 hour drive)and we arrived at 10:30 am. my kids were bouncing with excitement untill we got to the ticket office which was closed? went to reception and was told you cant come in today its closed to private schools. explained that we had phoned on the friday and was asked to fill in a complaints form and the manager would contact us. we were there only 5 minutes and they turned away 3 families. one lady was kicking off and was told you should have checked the website, she got the website up on her phone and said were does say your closed? she was then given a complaints form (whopee).waited 3 days for the management to contact us, they never bothered. i phoned myself the following week to complain. manager wasnt interested at all and was very patronising. all he kept on about was checking the website. i said why do that when we have already phoned you? i will never ever go there, would have an overwhelming urge to knock the arrogant pratt clean out!!!!

Lightwater Valley is a very small theme park mainly suited for kids/teens with the exception of some of the big scary rides. ive been 7 times but i still prefer flamingo land alton towers. but lightwater is still a very good theme park for little ones and they have a new area with 6 new rides this year which is a bonus

Prices for food = Extremely high! £2.20 for about a handful of chips

Service & Staff = Miserable bunch

Layout = Not very well. Its about a 15 min walk from each ride.
