1 Quietest Visit Times
Book the earliest entry slot on a term-time weekday for the calmest experience. Head straight to popular zones like World of Dinosaurs or Land of the Tigers before queues form.
2 Top Viewing Spot
Make sure to use the Tiger Treetops walkway. It gives fantastic, elevated views over the Amur tiger enclosure that many visitors walk straight past.
3 Splash Park Savvy
Paradise Lagoon splash park is seasonal (check opening dates, usually Apr-Sep) and gets busy. Pack swimwear and towels, and aim for opening or late afternoon to avoid the midday rush.
INSIDER TIP
Ask at the Welcome Centre for the free 'Dino Spotter' activity sheet – it's great for keeping little explorers engaged in the World of Dinosaurs but isn't usually advertised.
