About Theme Park Height Guide
Helping families feel confident before they reach the gates
Theme Park Height Guide is a curated directory of UK, France, and UAE parks that focuses on the information parents actually need: ride accessibility, pricing, facilities, and practical planning tips.

Jon Su
I started Theme Park Height Guide after one too many trips spent tabbing between nine park websites trying to work out what my kids could actually go on. The answer was always somewhere — in a PDF, on an individual ride page, in the small print under a chart — but never in one place, and never in the same format twice.
I maintain the ride records myself. Every height here is taken from the park's own published information and stored with the date it was checked, and a correction is made by going back to that source rather than from memory. Where a park publishes nothing, the site says so instead of guessing. If you spot something wrong, tell me — it gets checked and dated like everything else.
What this guide covers
We maintain ride-level height data for theme parks, amusement parks and family attractions across the United Kingdom, France and the United Arab Emirates — from the parks everyone has heard of to seaside and regional parks that publish very little online. Each park has its own profile with a full ride list, a breakdown of what is rideable at each height, prices, parking, location and a written guide.
Why it exists
Height requirements are scattered across park websites in charts, PDFs, individual ride pages and small print, and they are the single thing most likely to derail a family day out. A child who is 3cm short of a threshold has a completely different day from one who clears it. This site puts those numbers in one place, in one format, so a parent can answer “what can my child actually go on?” before booking rather than at the gate.
Who it is for
Parents and carers planning a first visit, families with children at different heights trying to find a park that works for everyone, and anyone deciding between two parks for the same weekend. The planner is built around the awkward reality that most families arrive with more than one child, at more than one height.
Editorial independence
The guide is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any park or operator. It is funded by advertising and, in places, affiliate links to ticket sellers. No park can pay to be listed, ranked higher, or to have its data presented differently.
How we build the guide
Listings originate from official park resources, press kits, and direct confirmation via visitor support teams. We re-run audits any time a park announces policy changes and note the exact revision date inside every profile.
The rides database stores individual restrictions—minimum and maximum heights, adult-accompanied rules, and accessibility notes—so the planner can respond to real families with different needs.
What guides our decisions
Family-first research
We collect ride requirements directly from park operators and cross-check them before they reach the site.
Transparent data
Every listing highlights when it was last updated so you always know how fresh a guide is.
Actionable planning
Tools like the unified height planner turn static ride data into real-world decisions.
How we verify
Every height on this site is taken from a park's own published information and dated, and every park page shows when it was last checked. Our full method — including how we classify rides and what we do when a park publishes nothing — is written up in detail.
