Flamingo Land
Flamingo Land Resort
Yorkshire's largest theme park, combining thrill rides with a zoo. A popular choice for family days out.
Flamingo Land Resort is in Kirby Misperton, south of Pickering, and combines a theme park with a zoo. It has several roller coasters, including Kumali and Mumbo Jumbo, plus water rides. The animal areas house rhinos, giraffes, tigers and the park's namesake flamingos. Tickets cost about £40, and buying online in advance usually brings a discount. Plan to spend a full day. The park is seasonal and closes in winter. It is about 35 km from Scarborough, so you'll need a car or a bus.
