Grandparents go free at Gulliver's World this October

Children can treat their grandparents to a fun-packed visit to Gulliver’s World during a special weekend in October.

Grandparents Weekend at the Warrington theme park takes place on October 4-5, with free entry for two grandparents with each full-paying person.

Resort mascots Gully and Gilly Mouse have lots of excitement in store for families, including some new attractions and rides, such as the magical Land of Oz themed area, featuring the Upside Down House, which defies gravity by turning everything on its head!

There are two new rides at the theme park – the Winged Monkeys Wicked-inspired adventure, and the Munchkin Motors, where families can drive through the Land of Oz whilst looking for its much-loved characters.

All the other 50+ rides, attractions, shows and activities are there to enjoy, including The Pirate Ship, Desperado Drop, The Antelope Wooden Coaster, Togo Tower, and the amazing animatronic dinosaurs.

There’s also the Gulliver’s Gears car-themed area, home to the Grand Prix Racer rollercoaster and Overdrive – a 360-degree thrill and one of Gulliver’s most daring rides.

Craig Clews, resort director at Gulliver’s World, said:

“We love seeing families having a wonderful time at the resort and it’s always that little bit extra special seeing grandparents joining in the fun. While our rides are aimed primarily at children, there is plenty to entertain grandparents – and parents – of all ages!”

Day tickets to Gulliver’s World for Grandparents Weekend cost £25 per person, with free entry for children under 90cms tall.

If you want to make it an extra special treat for nan and grandad, why not book the family in for an overnight stay. Gulliver’s World has a variety of family accommodation options to choose from, including the onsite hotel, which houses Unicorn, Cowboy, Sweetie and Pirate-themed rooms, and themed dens, lodges, and tipis in the Wilderness Wharf.
