FAQS

Are all the rides included in the Day Pass?

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.

How intense are the rides and waterslides at Funfields?

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

What are the fastest rides at Funfields?

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.

What do I wear on rides, waterslides and waterplay?
Any form of footwear is acceptable, 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.

What time do the rides stop?

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 our calendar of opening days and times.
