How Baby-Friendly is Rainbow's End?

What makes it 58% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free and have Tot Spot, change room and stroller hire, but nearly all rides ban under-2s, so parents mostly supervise rather than ride and may struggle during queues.

Definitely worth getting there early to make the most of your ticket. A super pass is worth the money as it covers all the side rides like dogems, boat bumpers, laser tag and the 4d laser ride. It worth making sure your children are the appropriate height to ride as the staff have measures and will turn you away. It may seem mean as you know your child may enjoy the ride but health and safety here...

Great day out, first time for the kids. They loved the Invader and everything bumper car/boat. Glad I could still do the stratosfear on last ride - enough recovery time in the traffic jam on the way home

We have been to Rainbows End a couple of times and have loved our time. An iconic place that was easy to go into no waiting we went straight in. The rides especially for the kids were amazing. Absolutely enjoyed the experience. Food and drink was great. Unfortunately the weather started to pack in but there was also undercover options as well. Great place to go to.

Staff were friendly and available to help when needed too. Ice cream choices were hectic to choose from and a...
