Summer of Fun at Lightwater Valley
Lightwater Valley is celebrating a Summer of Fun during the school holidays with a series of brand new themed games and attractions from 19th July to 12th September.
Throughout the holidays, families can enjoy the park’s more than 30 rides and experiences, including the new Go Safari area and Treetop Trails, alongside a number of new pop-up ‘All the Fun of the Fair’ attractions.
Whizz down the helter skelter, hop on the mini carousel, fly on the vintage swings and jump for joy on the bouncy castles and inflatable slides as part of the Summer of Fun ticket.
Pick up tasty treats from the market stalls including candy floss and freshly popped popcorn.
Families can also test their skills at classic fairground favourites such as Hook a Duck and take on the challenges in the new arcade.
Among the other new attractions for the 2021 season is Go Safari. Step aboard the Savanna Express on a sightseeing journey through the African wilderness.
Leap for joy on Kangaroo Jump before flying high on Elephant Flight and the Monkey Drop rides. Other new additions to the park include the Hot Air Balloons.
Also new to the Lightwater offer this year is the Treetop Trails, formerly treetops nets. This much-loved attraction provides a net walk through the tree canopy high above the park and is now included as part of the admission price.
As well as new rides, there’s all of the park’s young family favourites including Little Dipper, Carousel, Skyrider, the Lady Bird rollercoaster, Splash Falls and many more.
Take a peaceful glide around the lake on board a Swan Boat and see the park from a whole other angle on the Lightwater Valley Express train.
Get behind the wheel and practice your steering on the Vintage Car ride and flap your arms as you fly through the sky on Pirate Swinger.
