Flamingo Land
Thrills, Wildlife, and Adventure at Flamingo Land
Flamingo Land is known for its exhilarating rides and diverse wildlife. Adrenaline-seekers can brave record-breaking roller coasters like Sik, Mumbo Jumbo, and Kumali, while families can enjoy themed zones such as Dino-Stone Park and Muddy Duck Farm. The park’s commitment to conservation is reflected in its extensive collection of exotic species, from giraffes and rhinos to tigers and sea lions, actively participating in international breeding programmes. A blend of adventure and nature, Flamingo Land continues to captivate visitors with its thrilling attractions and remarkable animal encounters.
Flamingo Land’s story began in 1959 when a former cinema mogul transformed a bankrupt country club into a zoological park. Initially named The Yorkshire Zoological Gardens, the park introduced flamingos among its first residents. By the 1960s, it became home to the UK’s first captive bottlenose dolphins, and a small funfair began to take shape alongside the animal enclosures. Over the years, the site evolved, combining a zoo with amusement rides to create a unique destination, a concept that was groundbreaking in Europe at the time.
