Top Tips To Beat The Heatwave At UK Theme Parks

Over the coming week, temperatures across the UK are set to reach an all time record, which makes visiting theme parks quite difficult in the heat! But don't worry, we have you covered! Below we have put together a range of different top tips and tricks to keep you as cool as possible during your visit to the parks.


Drink Plenty of Water

Make sure you stay hydrated as you explore the theme parks. Most of the parks offer free water refills at numerous locations, including: Coca-Cola Freestyle machines (Merlin Entertainments Parks), restaurants, drinks stands and water fountains. If you can’t find anywhere to refill your water bottle, just ask a staff member and they would be more than happy to help you find one.

Bring Sun Cream

It is very important that you bring your sun cream with you to protect yourself from the sun, as whilst most parks have a large amount of shade, some areas of the parks are directly in sunlight, especially whilst queuing for rides & attractions. All of the Merlin theme parks offer free sun cream at dispensers around the theme park.

Enjoy The Air-Conditioning

Take a break from the outdoors and enjoy the air conditioned rides & attractions! From taking flight on the UK’s first flying theatre ride, Flight of the Sky Lion in LEGO MYTHICA at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, to exploring the wide selections of merchandise in the resort shops. Be sure to soak up the air-conditioning frequently to keep cool.
