  • I think you may still be able to get discount tickets from the Scarborough Tourist Information Centre so it may be worth giving them a call if you are unable to find vouchers online.

    This Flamingo land business is shocking. I feel really sorry for these families that need a bit if extra help with admission. The thing is the owners know that at this time of year they can fill the place without special offers. I know that because when I lived in the area I used to cycle past FL everyday and see all the cars stretching down the road (couple miles).
    The answer is to go out of season (say September). That place is a Gold mine (again I know, but mum is the word). I think they should rename it - Goldmine Land (because we are a bunch of tight b*stards).
    ;)

    Interesting review of the owners Gordon Gibb & family, in 2008 they were worth £75 million. On the following article they are listed as No 19.

    There is a visitor guide in most local newsagents and the tourist information centres. It is called Visitor Guide 2011. There is a 3 for 2 voucher on page 51. The guide has vouchers for other attractions too. It costs £1.99.

    The Flamingo land website allows you to buy tickets online. A family ticket for 4 people is £88 which is a good saving on the gate price.

    make sure you take your own drinks and snacks. Prices in the park are astronomical.

    Unfortunately there is a hidden cost of up to £3 per person per ride called Q Buster. As many people use ths system of going to the front of the queue immediately, you will be obliged to do the same to just get a ride.
    Thats an awful lot of extra money, do the sums because I do not want to be accused of being biased.:eek:
