The Milky Way Adventure Park

Please check the website when booking tickets but usual opening 10.30am to 4.30pm during term time and 10am to 5pm during school holidays.

Admission prices vary depending on the time of year. Please check the Milkyway website for latest details.

Whilst we don’t actively encourage dogs to come to the park, we do welcome calm, friendly, older dogs with responsible owners – but the park isn’t suitable for excitable puppies or dogs that may find busy, noisy environments stressful.

You must book a ticket for your dog, which covers a small charge for cleaning costs. They must be kept on a short lead by an adult 18 years+ and never be left alone in vehicles. You’ll need public liability insurance and must agree to our dog policy on arrival.

Our dog policy:

We’re happy to admit very calm, friendly and well-behaved older dogs with responsible owners – the park is not suitable for excitable puppies. Please note that you must have public liability insurance that covers your dog/dogs (normally included in standard dog insurance policies – annual membership to the Dogs Trust for £25 also provides this cover).

We want to continue to accept dogs and in order to do this we need to minimise ill feeling and complaints from other guests, we therefore ask you to think very carefully before bringing large or potentially intimidating dogs to the park. To help us continue allowing dogs into the park, please only bring them if you have no alternative (i.e., if you can’t leave them at home or with someone). Dogs must not be left in any vehicle parked at the park.

We charge a small fee per dog to cover admin and cleaning, and to limit numbers. During peak times, please book online in advance to ensure space for your dog. Dogs are not permitted on rides (except the train).

The management reserve the right to approach your dog / dogs to assess their temperament and any dog showing signs that they could cause potential upset or harm to other guests (especially younger children) will not be admitted or will be asked to leave. This includes excited behaviour, such as excessive barking and jumping up. Dogs that may upset or harm others (e.g., by barking, jumping) will not be admitted or may be asked to leave.

All dog owners will be required to sign a form on entry agreeing to the following:

– I am responsible for my dog at all times while on your premises, and I have public liability insurance.
– I’m confident my dog will remain calm in indoor areas with noise, children, and other dogs.
– My dog will be held on a short lead by an adult (18 years+) at all times. Retractable leads must be locked short.
– I won’t take my dog to the bird of prey shows, bird centre, carpeted play areas, or Little Stars.
– I will clean up after my dog (poo, wee or vomit – including indoors), asking staff for help if disinfection is needed.

Any breaches of this policy will result in being asked to leave the site.

Great for toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents – with rides, soft play, and shows for everyone.

Sorry we’ll be adding this shortly.

Yes! We’re an award-winning all-weather attraction with huge indoor areas, soft play, and shows.
