Top UK Theme Parks 2022
Theme parks transport us to a world where white knuckle rides shake us to our core, teacups twist the tot’s to a happy place, cotton candy and sugar donuts become part of a balanced diet and of course, screaming is all part of the fun!
Dwell on those theme park memories for just a moment, the sights, smell, and sounds….
Now answer this, is any summer complete without a trip to at least one theme park?
If you are of the same mind as us and love theme parks just as much as we do, then why not take advantage of Kids Pass’s great theme park discounts and build some memories?
