Do I need to wear a face mask/face covering at the theme park?

Should you wish to visit, we kindly ask that you respect the safety measures we have put in place. Based on the current government guidance and advice, you won’t be required to wear a face mask when visiting the theme park, but it is advised. Similarly, our team will not be required to wear any form of face mask unless their role requires it due to hygiene practices in place, for example, ride operators or first aid teams. Our team members are also given the option and access to PPE to wear including masks/face covering should they wish to wear one for their personal comfort.

What are your opening hours?

Currently we are open 10am – 5pm. Times are subject to change; however, our website will be updated. Please check website for the days we are closed (off-peak mid-week dates outside of the holidays).

Toilet facilities

Increased cleaning regimes are in place. Guests will be asked not enter whilst cleaning takes place. Please ensure you use toilet facilities as promptly as possible and leave them in a clean manner as you’d expect to find them yourselves. Do not allow children to use facilities on their own. Some cubicles may be closed to maintain distancing; these will be clearly marked. Ensure that you maintain 2m from people whilst using facilities.

Do you have sanitiser stations?

We have a large number of hand sanitiser stations around the Theme Park, and would also recommend you bring your own so you can use whilst walking around the Park. Although sanitiser is handy, it does not replace a good hand washing hygiene regime. Please follow the advice of the UK Government, NHS and PHE by washing hands for a minimum of 20 secs before eating, drinking and after visiting our farm and toilet facilities.

How long can I stay at the park?

We have no restriction on the length of time you can stay with us, but we please ask you to comply with the rules.

Please call us once safely in your car (whilst not driving) to tell us about your visit so we can log, track, trace and implement any additional hygiene requirements.

When should I not visit?

We respectfully ask that people take responsibility for their own health and the health of the community before visiting us. Please do not choose to visit the theme parks if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or have any underlying health conditions that may put you or others at risk. If you are vulnerable in any way, it is your responsibility to make the right choice for yourself and others around you. Please follow the advice given by the UK Government, PHE and NHS. We can only operate when everyone works together.

Are your cafes open?

Yes – but with limited availability. Please click the Food, Drink & Shop tab for more.

Can your farm animals contract the virus? What are you doing to protect them?

We check daily with experts on the effects COVID-19 has on animals. At present you cannot touch any of our animals to avoid the potential effects on them and to stop the transmission from customer to customer. Any animals that we know can definitely be affected will be moved further away from the public and/or taken off display. Our dedicated farm team have been working hard to ensure our animals are taken care of and will continue to put animal welfare first.

We understand and realise Combined Annual Pass Holders and Twinlakes Park only Annual Pass Holders will be concerned that Twinlakes Park closes Jan to Feb annually. Our standard winter closure is being reviewed to ensure you can use your Annual Passes during this time.

Why do I have to book?

The number of visitors being welcomed to theme park has been limited to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable day with us, while fully adhering to the government’s social distancing and safety guidelines. Initially the reduced capacity is set low and will increase incrementally.  This means that our Annual Pass Holders will need to book, in advance, by using our online booking system. You’ll need to bring your booking confirmation and your Annual Pass card with you on the day as you’ll need to scan both when you arrive. Remember to book a place for everyone in your group. Thank you for your understanding. We would like to thank you for your continued support and look forward to welcoming you safely.

I’m an Annual Pass Holder, why am I being charged?

You are paying a small fee to reserve your space for the theme park due to the daily restricted capacity. This guarantees your entry for that day. Sadly, in the past when we have done free reservation tickets this has been abused resulting in wasted tickets that could be used by other guests and Annual Pass Holders. The equivalent fee you pay online to reserve your space will be presented in a monetary value voucher that can be spent inside the theme park on food, drink and retail purchased on the day of your visit (they cannot be used on future dates). On arrival please remember to bring your reservation ticket and valid Annual Pass.

• We take all instances of abusing our reservation seriously, we want everyone who is an annual pass holder to be able to visit, we can only do this by trusting that no one will book excessive tickets and resell them for financial gain
• For avoidance of doubt, Ticket Touting is not acceptable. The sale of tickets by any person other than The Park or an authorised agent is prohibited. Tickets are non-transferable and cannot be resold. Any such transfer resale will render such tickets void
• Maximum purchase of 8 tickets per transaction, email addresses that make consecutive and numerous bookings will be blocked from future bookings
• Our terms and conditions of entry can be found here with full information regarding the resale of tickets: https://www.twinlakespark.co.uk/terms-and-conditions-of-entry/

Any other changes?

Apart from pre-booking and extensions to your Annual Pass (for the number of days we were closed) we have no other changes. Your terms and conditions remain in place, unchanged and can be found here: https://www.twinlakespark.co.uk/annual-pass-terms-conditions/

Are your cafes open?

Yes, however we have a limited amount of catering facilities open and a limited menu offering takeaway only.

• Please follow social distancing whilst queueing for your order.
• Reusable takeaway cups cannot be accepted at this time
• Takeaway packaging must be disposed of in the allocated bins
• Outdoor tables will be 2 meters apart and cannot be moved to create larger tables or you may eat on our large picnic lawns
• Sauces, salt, pepper, milk sachets etc. will be given instead of being freely available from servery stations.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Always ensure you tell our team about any dietary requirements before placing your order! We would always advise that you bring a picnic with you if have a severe dietary requirement.
