Kids Big Carnival is back from 3rd to 6th April 2026 and this year we are giving families even more time to enjoy the magic.
Every session is now a full 2 hours of unlimited rides and excitement, making 2026 our biggest and best carnival yet.
All your favourite rides are returning plus our exciting brand new Flying Jumbo ride from Europe is making its Kids Big Carnival debut.
Your ticket includes unlimited access to all rides during your selected two hour session, including:
• All your favourite returning carnival rides
• Our exciting new Flying Jumbo ride where kids can soar up to 7 metres
• Classic carnival attractions and games
• Family friendly entertainment
• A fun and welcoming atmosphere for all ages
There is something for every little thrill seeker to enjoy.
Soak up the full carnival experience with our delicious food trucks and exciting showbag stalls packed with fun surprises for the kids.
Whether you are grabbing a bite before your session, enjoying a treat afterwards, or just satisfying a sweet tooth, there is something for everyone.
Food trucks and showbag stalls are open all day from 8:30am to 5:00pm, with plenty of large outdoor sheltered areas available for families to relax and enjoy.
To make sure every family has the best possible experience, each session is capped at a limited number of tickets.
This means less crowding, shorter wait times and more opportunities for the kids to enjoy their favourite rides.
Our smaller session sizes help create a relaxed, safe and enjoyable carnival atmosphere so families can focus on having fun without long lines.
We know that waiting in long lines can put a damper on the fun, so we’ve introduced smaller, capped sessions to keep the excitement high and the wait times low. Each session is designed to ensure every child has ample time to enjoy their favourite rides without the hassle of long queues.
