Yes! Our Day Pass is an all-day access-all-areas pass so you can explore all our slides and rides.
This includes everything from epic giant waterslides, kids waterslides and waterplay areas, and a heated wave pool, to our land-based rides with all the classics like dodgem cars, the pirate ship ride, ferris wheels and kids carousel.
We do have height restrictions on some of our rides and waterslides which are listed on the attraction pages.
Funfields has waterslides and land rides that are off the scale on the thrill-o-meter, as well as very gentle toddler water playgrounds, paddle pools, ferris wheels and carousels, and everything in between.
If you’re seeking an adrenaline hit with your waterslides head to Thrill Hill, and for high-speed land-based rides like the Alpine Toboggan Slide and bumper cars go to Velocity Valley.
If you want some warm up time, check out Origin Springs for our splashdown waterslides, or the heated wave pool and lazy river at Paradise Palms.
If you’re seeking an adrenaline hit with your waterslides, head to Thrill Hill where you can defy gravity or race your friends on Kraken Racer. For high speed on land, race to Velocity Valley for bumper cars and the racing alpine toboggan slide.
Bring closed toe shoes as some land-based rides require them, and choose your simplest sporty swimwear, as some waterslides have a no zips and clips rule.
You’ll need to leave hats and glasses behind on some of our faster-moving attractions.
On each attraction page the clothing requirements are listed.
And don’t forget to be Sun Smart.
Rides and slides may close up to half an hour before the themepark closes. Our opening times change as the summer days get shorter – you can check it out here.
