Lightwater Valley theme park tickets

Lightwater Valley - Home to 3 Great Attractions

Set in 175 acres of gorgeous North Yorkshire Parkland - just North of Ripon - Lightwater Valley Theme Park, Shopping Village and Birds of Prey Centre is renowned for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The thrilling theme park line-up comprises some amazing rides, including Europe’s longest rollercoaster -The Ultimate, as well as the stomach churning, mighty Eagle’s Claw and The Hornet’s Nest - the ride with a sting in its tail!

However, if you prefer to take things at a more leisurely pace, you can take a gentle stroll around the picturesque lake, enjoy a relaxing game of crazy golf or just climb aboard the Lightwater Express for a round-the-park train ride. Plus, new for the 2009 season, visitors can now shoot the wet ‘n’ wild river rapids!

Located in the grounds of Lightwater Valley Theme Park, you'll also find an awe-inspiring Birds of Prey Centre. Established to raise awareness of a wide selection of breath-taking birds, this purpose built raptor complex offers a truly unique experience. As well as having possibly the largest Golden Eagle in England, you can go along and learn about every aspect of the birds' life and care.

Visitors also have the opportunity to see how these amazing birds are trained and handled, as well as being treated to dramatic flying shows at 14.00 and 16.00 every day. Why not volunteer to pull on a gauntlet and allow their trained raptors to land on your arm or even have your photo taken whilst holding Gizmo, the little owl who can fit in the palm of your hand?

If you have time, don’t forget that Lightwater shopping village is open all year round and is home to an oasis of retail therapy that appeals to all ages and tastes. Boasting over 30,000 square feet of inspired undercover shopping, it really is the perfect place to indulge yourself with a relaxing stroll through the charming indoor village as you browse their fabulous range of outlets.
