A lesser-known theme park in the UK that costs just £13.95 to enter has been hailed one of the best in the world – and you can even bring your pooch along for the ride.
The Milky Way Adventure Park, located in North Devon, offers a mix of indoor and outdoor rides, shows, activities and play areas at a fraction of the cost of its big-name competitors.
The amusement park was first launched as a farm attraction in July 1984 by the Stanbury family, but it has since grown in size and popularity with around £2 million invested in new attractions and upgrades over recent years.
And with entry tickets costing as little as £2, it’s no wonder the park has been awarded the coveted TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award Best of the Best for the past nine years.
The attraction aims to provide affordable fun for visitors of all ages, with standard adult entry tickets starting from £13.95, child (3-17) admission from £13.95, child (1-2) admission from £7.95, and admission for children under one costing just £2.
Disabled and carer entry tickets are available from £10.95, while seniors 65+ and concession tickets are priced from £11.95. Both require proof of eligibility on arrival.
What’s more, pet parents can even bring ‘calm and well-behaved’ dogs along for day, subject to an additional £1 per pooch, and owners are required to sign a form on entry explaining their responsibilities.
So, what can visitors expect? From the Cosmic Typhoon rollercoaster to the Droid Destroyer dodgems, there is plenty of indoor fun and acres of outdoor activities spread across the 110,000 square-foot park.

Daredevils in the family can race the Droid Destroyer dodgems, bounce on the Jumping Jupiters, take on the huge death slide, or tackle the Cosmic Typhoon roller coaster, which offers a stunning view of the North Devon coastline at 40 mph.
The Ninja Stars games arena with Tag Active scoring is the park’s latest addition, where visitors aged six and above are tasked with taking on a series of events and obstacles to reach the top of the leaderboard.
Thrill-seekers can also swish down the 30ft Gravity Rider donut slide, while space-fanatics can help save Planet Earth in the interactive Ziggy’s Blast Quest experience by piloting Cyber Scooters and shooting at the space rocks with Blasteroid Lasers.
Outside of hair-raising rides, the park offers a wide variety of alternative activities, including soft play, laser target shooting, family shows, a mind-bending maze, pottery painting, mini golf, an adventure play area complete with slides, and more.
There’s even a Milky Way railway experience, a sci-fi memorabilia display, and Fairway simulation golf for those wanting a more relaxed experience during their visit.
There’s plenty on offer for smaller adventurers, including the Cosmic Caterpillar, Milky Way Train and the Little Stars play centre, designed especially for babies to those of nursery age.
A sensory room is also available exclusively for under threes accompanied by an adult, which features mesmerising light displays, UV reactive toys, a sensory smell panel and tactile toys guaranteed to captivate.
For footie fans, the park challenges visitors to try out its Penalty Shoot Out game, which rewards strikers with a printed certificate of achievement if they manage to score five penalties and join the 300 points score leaderboard.
