Plan your visit
The planner predicts how busy Thorpe Park will be on every day for the next 8 weeks, using school holidays across all four UK nations, bank holidays and the queue history we collect every day.
| Prices | Adult £32 · Child £32 · Family £128 |
|---|---|
| Opening | Season 27 March-1 November 2026; closed in winter. |
| Best time to go | Term-time weekdays in April-May and the first two weeks of September. Avoid sunny bank holiday weekends and the Fright Nights period if you have young children. |
| School holiday tip | Early July is the sweet spot for Scottish families: English schools are still in session so weekday queues are modest. Late August is the opposite, with English holidays at their peak, so go midweek only and arrive at opening. |
| Best ages | Best for teens and confident 10+; limited choice for under-8s |
| Top tips | Ride the big headline coasters first in the opening hour, then work back toward the family areas. Eat early or late to dodge peak catering queues, and use the free car-park-to-gate walk to avoid paid shuttles. |
| Money saver | Midweek and term-time dates are cheapest online; the Merlin Annual Pass pays back fast if you visit other Merlin parks |
How we measure busyness
Every 10 minutes we record the posted wait for every ride at Thorpe Park. The busyness score is the average wait across the busiest half of the rides that are open, so one broken-down ride or a quiet kids' area doesn't skew it. "Quiet" to "Packed" compares today's score with the park's usual range, so busy means busy for Thorpe Park.
