Pro tips to help you make a pick

Choose standard dated admission when your visit date is fixed; choose Flexi admission when you want the same core park, Thomas Land, and zoo access without pre-booking a date.

Use the Adult & Toddler off-peak ticket only for weekday off-peak visits with one adult and a child aged 4 and under.

Add Fast Pass only as a queue-reduction extra: it is sold in Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers and does not include park entry.

Plan a stop at Guest Services if you buy Fast Pass, because the pass must be collected there before use.

Fast Pass inventory is first come, first served, so the available tier can depend on what remains on your visit date.

If you need queue accommodations for accessibility reasons, use the Easy Access Service eligibility route rather than treating Fast Pass as a substitute.

Book group admission only when you are traveling as 20 or more guests.

Choose Stay & Play when you want a qualifying hotel package with park tickets; Bed & Breakfast does not include park tickets.

Did you know?

Drayton Manor opened in 1950 on the former estate of the Peel family, whose Victorian mansion once stood on the site. Today, the estate's original clock tower still remains.

The resort's 15-acre zoo opened in 1954, making it one of the UK's longest-established zoos within a theme park.

Thomas Land is Europe's only Thomas & Friends-themed land, with more than 25 rides and attractions inspired by the Island of Sodor.

The 15-acre zoo is home to more than 500 animals, including several endangered species, making wildlife a core part of the Drayton Manor experience.

Long before it became a theme park, the Drayton Manor estate welcomed Queen Victoria and Prince Albert during a royal visit in 1843.

Why visit Drayton Manor Resort Tickets?

Get rides, Thomas Land, and the zoo on one ticket

General admission covers the theme park, Thomas Land, and the zoo. That gives the day more range than a single-format park, with time for rides, child-focused attractions, and animal exhibits under the same entry structure.

Spend real time in Thomas Land

Thomas Land is a major part of the resort rather than a small branded corner. It has over 25 rides and attractions and sits by the main entrance, making it a core draw for younger children and a substantial part of a family visit.

Use the zoo as more than a side attraction

The included zoo covers 15 acres and has over 500 animals. It adds a quieter change of pace between ride zones and gives the resort a second experience style beyond queue-heavy attractions.

Split the day across separate themed ride zones

Frontier Falls, Vikings, and Adventure Cove give the park distinct ride areas instead of one continuous lineup. This helps mixed-age groups divide time between different attraction styles and priorities.

Add small-capacity premium experiences

Separate extras include keeper-led animal encounters and The Wave Track Walk. The Track Walk runs at 6pm on selected Saturdays and is capped at 8 participants, making it a more specialized add-on than standard park admission.

Plan your visit

Main entrance

The main entrance is by Thomas Land and leads to Fairfield car park, including disabled parking, and Longwood car park. This is the default arrival point for general visitors and families planning to start in Thomas Land. Wheelchair hire is available here on a first-come, first-served basis.

Entrance 2

Entrance 2 is at the end of the lake and leads to the Leys and coach parks. It is the documented arrival point for coach or group visitors and for guests parking on that side of the resort.
