The Carnival opening times vary from day to day, so please check the times, which will be stated on your tickets, before visiting
Please note you can arrive at any time during your booked session - you do not need to arrive at the start of your session
Please allow plenty of time for entry to the Carnival, as unfortunately queues are unavoidable when a large number of visitors arrive at the same time
You can collect your ride vouchers and purchase tickets on the door before Carnival opens. Please see below opening times for the Admissions Hall and Carnival.
