Cornwall theme park named as one of best value for money in UK

Flambards has been named as being among the top value for money UK theme parks for according to a new nationwide survey.

The study by saving experts BravoVoucher analysed the ticket price, star rating, review sentiment, and the number of rides and attractions of the UK’s top 60 amusement parks to determine which offers the best value.

Flambards at Helston took sixth place in the list finishing ahead of Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures and Blackpool Pleasure Beach among others.

According to the survey Flambards’ visitors enjoy a below-average cost per ride at around £1.09.

Analysis of TripAdvisor reviews reveals park guests frequently compliment its cost-effectiveness, with over one in six mentioning the word “free” (17 per cent), followed by “value” (14 per cent).

Billed as Cornwall’s best value theme park, Flambards gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy seven days for the price of one with every full-price ticket valid for a further six consecutive days from the date of the first admission.

With a further 10% discount if you book online that works out at just £10.52 a day for a family of four (two adults and two children) for a whole week.

Factor in free parking and the free kids’ indoor soft play area Flambards really does offer a great day out at an unbeatable price, says Marco Farnararo, CEO and co-founder at Bravo Savings Network.

“With cost-of-living pressures hitting UK households and families feeling the squeeze during school holidays and weekends when kids want to go out, our research aims to help families decide which days out will help their money stretch the furthest," he said.

“By looking at multiple factors beyond the ticket price, we can better evaluate where guests of all ages are most likely to enjoy their time and feel the cost was worth it.

“While it’s true some of the UK’s best-loved parks like Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures rank among the ten best value, residents living near the more local parks can still enjoy a great day out. Some even have a much cheaper price per ride than some of the bigger parks," he added.

Flambards recently unveiled its newest attraction, the Wurlitzer-style Thunderdome rides. Located at the heart of the park, Thunderdome joins an impressive lineup of attractions, including theme park classics and family-friendly rides like the Hornet Rollercoaster and the Colorado River Log Flume.
