Skegness theme park makes list of UK’s most budget-friendly days out

With summer holidays in full swing, families looking to entertain the kids without spending a fortune might be in luck. A new ranking by Outdoor Toys has named Fantasy Island in Skegness as one of the UK’s cheapest theme parks for children.

Coming in fourth, the Lincolnshire-based park offers a day wristband for kids at £20.50. There’s also the option to buy two or seven-day passes for better value, ideal for families planning a longer stay. While entry is free for those not keen on rides, Fantasy Island still has plenty on offer, including a bustling seven-day market, riverside attractions, and a broad range of rides for all ages. On-site accommodation makes it a viable choice for a budget-friendly staycation.

Topping the affordability list is Playland Fun Park in Worcestershire. It has no entry fee, and rides start from just £1 each. With 20 attractions, a splash park, and a picnic area for families bringing their own food, it’s a clear winner for frugal days out.

Other parks in the top five include The Web Adventure Park near York, which offers tickets at £17.95 with access to animal encounters and foam parties, Camel Creek Adventure Park in Cornwall with bonus seven-day passes, and BeWILDerwood in Cheshire, where under £23 covers everything from treehouses to live shows.
