SUMMER HOLIDAYS: DONE.

Stick a fork in that one.

The schools are back, summer has officially packed its bags, and we’re back to our more conventional opening hours.

WE’RE OPEN TODAY FROM 3PM.

And while things might be getting a little more normal here at Barry Island, two of our biggest beasts have been getting the full social media VIP treatment over the weekend.

Aerospace and Top Scan have been treated like absolute royalty ahead of their trip to Nottingham Goose Fair.

Before they head off on their travels, there’s still time to come and see them here at Barry Island Pleasure Park.

Open today from 3pm, weather permitting.

Free entry. Buy your tokens. Pick your rides. Get stuck in.

Not every ride has to be the biggest or the fastest to become a family favourite.

The Caterpillar Coaster is one of those proper classic rides that brings out smiles from the very first lap. A little twisty, a little speedy and full of that old-school funfair feeling, it’s the kind of ride that people come off wanting to go straight back on again.

Perfect for families, ideal for younger thrill-seekers and a brilliant part of a day out at Barry Island.

If you know, you know... the Caterpillar Coaster always delivers for our younger riders.

NOM NOM NOM...

All that spinning, screaming and seaside air is hungry work, so make sure you leave room for the food.

Across Barry Island Pleasure Park you’ll find plenty to get stuck into, including gyros, hot dogs, burgers, fries, pizza, noodles, ice cream, sweet treats, drinks and a whole range of USA treats when you fancy something a little different.

Grab something quick between rides, sit down for a proper refuel, or just work your way around the park one snack at a time.

Come hungry.

BUMP, BASH, SPIN, REPEAT.

There’s something about the Dodgems that never gets old (apart from our track!... yeah we know... when is the new one coming)

Pick your car, grab the wheel and decide whether you’re going for a smooth lap around the track... or spending the entire ride hunting down your friends and family.

A proper funfair classic, perfect for a bit of friendly rivalry at Barry Island Pleasure Park.

Who are you aiming for first?

Time to raise a little Hell.

You can hear it.
You can see it.
You can watch everybody else getting thrown around on it.

But eventually there comes a point when you’ve just got to stop standing there and GET ON.

HELL RAISER is waiting.

Who’s riding this weekend?
