We went to Flamingo Land with approx 80 school children. Some of the children DID pay to fast track, but only got on 2 rides due to the large amount of people fast tracking. The children who didn’t pay extra, never got on any rides at all.

Purchase your ‘Q’ Buster tickets …for just £2.00 per person, per ride from the the Zanzi Bazaar, the ‘Q’ Buster booth Plaza Square (next to Pitcher’s Sports Bar), beside Kumali or at the Lost River Ride.

It is estimated to have cost around GB£7 million.

Flamingo Land is somewhere to be enjoyed over 2 days, if not more.

The entrance fee was £85 (2 adults and 1 child) and it was a complete waste of money. Two of the main rides were out of order which meant long queues at the others. The park was unkempt and dirty, especially around the eating areas and the toilets were disgusting.

Take your own drinks and snacks Bringing a selection of drinks and snacks (or even a packed lunch) is advisable, and there are plenty of pleasant spots around the park where you can consume them.

Yes there is a shop on site.

Parking is free. Parking is free and although the rides close at a certain time the restaurants do not as they cater for the holiday resort.

The last polar bear born in captivity in the UK was at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire in 1992. Some wildlife advocates have battled against polar bears in captivity, arguing that it is impossible to provide their complex and particular needs in a zoo.

Flamingo Land Ltd is the operating company of Flamingo Land Resort. It was begun by Gordon Gibb’s father, Robert Gibb, who was a director of Scotia Leisure, owners of the Yorkshire attraction. He purchased it from the company to develop it under his sole direction.

Ernie was born here at the zoo as his mother Betty came to Flamingo Land pregnant over a decade ago. With only 4 zoos in the country housing Common Hippopotamus they are a fairly rare species to see in captivity.

While they are listed at being exhibited at 30 AZA zoos, there are only 79 hippos listed at AZA zoos (according to the antelope TAG). Unless American zoos move to breed in larger groups-absent imports- hippos may well die out in American zoos, Click to expand…

Edinburgh Zoo currently has two pygmy hippos, an adult male, called Otto and an adult female called Gloria.

Hippos once roamed freely across ancient Britain, and now they’ve returned to London after 125,000 years as a giant hippo sculpture is erected on the Thames.

Many people think that hippos eat meat because they’re so large in size. However, hippos are actually herbivores, meaning they only feed on plants. The majority of their diet consists of short grasses, but they will eat fruit if it’s available.
