What should I wear to your theme park?

A: Our park is set in 80 acres of Pembrokeshire open countryside so flat footwear and all-weather gear is advisable. On some rides you may get wet or muddy so please don’t wear your favourite items of clothing. Make sure you dress for comfort.

A: While we look after the safety and the general wellbeing of our visitors throughout the day, we cannot provide parental supervision. We do not recommend children visit the park unaccompanied under 13 years of age.

Why is there a charge for Vertigo?

A: We have to charge for Vertigo because we can only fly a limited number of visitors each day. If we increased the admission charge to include Vertigo we would not be able to satisfy demand for the ride and visitors would leave disappointed.

Do I need to book Vertigo in advance?

A: You can take advantage of an online saving by booking Vertigo at the same time as purchasing your online day pass tickets. Alternatively, we advise booking a timed slot for Vertigo as soon as you enter the park, to ensure that you are able to fly should you so wish.

Do I have to pay even if I don’t want to go on the big rides?

A: Oakwood charges an admission fee to the park rather than a wristband/pay per ride system. However, there are plenty of gentle family rides if you don’t like white knuckle rides and lots of viewing places to watch your family and friends enjoying themselves.
