Plan for a great day out with the family

The Whitsun Bank holiday is a traditional time to spend the day with the family and Paultons Park, voted best value family attraction 2003, now has even more to entertain the children and parents alike.

There are over 50 rides and attractions at the popular leisure park with big rides such as the Stinger rollercoaster, Pirate Ship and Wave Runner always proving to be a hit with visitors. There are also smaller rides specifically designed for younger children including Seal Falls (a mini-log flume), the Viking Boats (a gentle water roundabout) and the ever popular Digger Ride.

New for 2004 are two drop rides; The Jumping Bean, a thrilling 12 metre vertical drop and the Jumping Jack, a smaller version of the Jumping Bean for younger children, and less adventurous adults.

Paultons has over 140 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens which are home to over 150 different species of unusual and exotic birds. The latest arrivals at the Park are 18 Humboldt penguins. The Penguins have a spectacular new pool to live in and daily keeper talks and feeding sessions give visitors a fascinating insight into these endangered birds.

Paultons has a varied selection of indoor attractions and activities should the great British weather take a turn for the worse! The Romany Experience features what is believed to be the largest collection of gypsy wagons in the country, whilst The Magic Forest and The Wind in the Willows will enchant both children and the young at heart. Visitors with a more creative side will love the new Kiddie Kraft room, where for a small additional charge, you can paint your own pottery or create a novelty coloured sand ornament to take home!

Open daily from 10am, Paultons is only two minutes from Junction 2 of the M27 and car parking is free! Further details are available from www.paultonspark.co.uk or by calling the Park information line on 023 8081 4455.
