TripAdvisor names Sundown Adventureland 'one of the best' theme parks in Europe

Popular Nottinghamshire theme park Sundown Adventureland has been named as one of the best amusements and water parks in Europe by Tripadvisor. The travel guidance platform recently announced its Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards 2022, which analyses the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings over the past year from travellers using the review site.

It marks the second year running that Sundown Adventureland, located in Rampton, near Retford, has received the accolade. Debora Griffin, park director at Sundown Adventureland said: “Winning an award is always brilliant, but it feels even more special when our visitors and loyal fanbase make it happen – especially for the second year running.

"We can’t thank our visitors enough for continuing to leave us glowing reviews and highlighting what they love about our family-owned park.”

“The award is a testament to our loyal fan base that we’ve built up over 50 years, with my grandparents remaining passionate about consistent and high-quality customer service throughout their careers. We love seeing generations of families returning time after time and feel privileged that they choose Sundown as a location to make memories,” added Debora.

The achievement builds on what has been an eventful year so far for the park after the opening of its new overnight accommodation, Wild Acre Village. The 30-acre park has been recognised by its customers for rides including Rocky Mountain Railroad and Jolly Pirate Boat Ride, as well as a selection of play areas for children.

Kanika Soni, chief commercial officer at Tripadvisor, said: “Congratulations to the 2022 Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Winners. The Travellers’ Choice Awards recognise the best in tourism and hospitality, according to those who matter most: your guests.

“Ranking among the Travellers' Choice winners is always tough — but never more so than this year as we emerge from the pandemic. Whether it's using new technology, implementing safety measures, or hiring outstanding staff, I’m impressed by the steps taken to meet travellers' new demands. You've adapted brilliantly in the face of adversity."

Open from 10am to 5:30pm through summer, you can visit the website to book tickets www.sundownadventureland.co.uk.
