Adventure Island Group Visits

Just £15 per person!

A memorable, easy and great-value experience for your organisation

Adventure Island group visits are just £15 per person, minimum 20 people. It’s the perfect time to plan a fun and rewarding day out for your team, club or organisation, whether it’s a staff outing, team-building event or social gathering. Adventure Island offers something for everyone.

From thrilling rollercoasters to themed rides and classic seaside arcades, there’s so much to explore at Essex’s most popular theme park, set on the stunning Southend-on-Sea seafront. With on-site security, a dedicated team, excellent facilities and plenty of dining options, you can be confident your group will enjoy a safe, well organised and unforgettable day out.

Please note: Group bookings are only available to registered organisations, clubs and businesses.

Easy Online Booking

Our online booking system makes arranging your visit quick and simple. Just choose your date, enter your organisation name and group size (minimum 20), and your visit will be instantly confirmed once payment has been made.

If you have booked, and wish to add more people, you can do so by making another online booking.

However, if you are adding fewer than 20 people, this can be arranged on the day through our Customer Services Team, with payment taken on the day.

If you book, what next?

Every person receives a wristband giving them access to all rides (height restrictions apply). Guests must wear their wristbands on the right wrist.

Wristbands are posted to your chosen address ahead of your trip for a smooth arrival. However, if your booking is confirmed within 15 of your intended group visit, you will need to collect the wristbands from Customer Services at the point of your arrival.

Please note: Amendments to group visit booking dates are permitted up to 16 days prior to the visit. After this deadline, the booking date is non-transferable.

The Need-to-Knows

Adventure Island opens at 11:00am. Closing times vary throughout the year.

Yes. Guests with an active Annual Pass do not need to be included in your booking numbers. They must bring either their physical pass or a photo of the Annual Pass barcode to gain entry. Please ensure all passes are activated and in date so guests can receive their wristband and go on the rides. 

Leftover wristbands can be exchanged at Customer Services for a voucher valid until the end of the year. Please note: If this exchange is not completed on the day of your visit, any remaining wristbands will not be redeemable later.

  • If you need to add 20 or more guests, please repeat the online booking process and create a separate booking.
  • If you need to add fewer than 20 guests, please visit Customer Services on the day of your trip and they will assist you.

Customer Services is inside Adventure Island, next to the American Whip and Crooked House rides. If you need to visit upon arrival, the easiest entrance is the slope next to Sands by the Sea restaurant.

Coaches may drop off passengers directly outside Adventure Island (look for the Axis ride!). Coach parking is available in the Eastern Esplanade car park, approximately a 10-minute walk from the park.

Wristbands will grant you access to any of the rides in Adventure Island and Funtopia Indoor Amusement Park – as long as you reach each ride’s individual height requirements.

Absolutely! If you’re over 14 years of age (and mature enough to look after another person), you can accompany a child under 120cm in height on any of our rides for free. It’s part of our Go On Together promise.

Guests over 120cm in height will not be permitted to bring on an accompanying person free of charge. (Nice try!)

At the time of writing, Adventure Island has over 40 rides suitable for all ages and thrill levels. We also have a multi-storey soft-play area, which is suitable for children up to 10 years old and can be accessed using our standard wristband or the Playstack wristband.

Our site is packed full of amazing things to see and do, but unlike many other UK theme parks, it’s not huge – you can stroll from one end to the other in just a few minutes. Less walking equals more ride time!

We make every effort to ensure our guests don’t need to wait for hours to hop aboard the rides they enjoy. Our average queuing time, even during peak hours, is only 20 minutes.

If the weather takes a turn, we may need to close some of our rides and attractions temporarily. However, there are plenty of undercover rides and arcades to keep you entertained until things brighten up again. Our Funtopia Indoor Amusement Park is always open alongside Adventure Island, find out more here.

Adventure Island is easily accessible by train, bus, coach, car, and even by air! Click here for more information on how to reach us.

We do not have a designated car park for our guests, but there’s plenty of space in the council-led car parks nearby, not to mention lots of bays along the seafront and around the town centre.

At Adventure Island, we believe that everyone should be able to experience the highest level of happiness with us and so we have tried to accommodate to all of our visitors as much as possible.

The menus at Adventure Island’s food outlets are very accommodating to dietary requirements. We offer different options for guests who prefer Halal, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.

Please ask a member of staff at the restaurant or outlet for further information.

Jeni Meadows

We had an absolute blast , it was so nice seeing the kids excited and even the adults too. Thank you so much for your help regarding the wristbands and we will definitely be back next year.
Debbie
8th Leigh Guides
Hi Melissa, Thanks for the below. I was going to get in touch anyway, to say thank you for making our visit last Saturday so enjoyable. Although when we arrived the team hadn’t been made aware that we were bringing the group, they very quickly adjusted for this and everyone was so helpful and welcoming. We were really impressed, from the welcoming team, who even came outside to help us put the wristbands on the children, to the catering team who were able to reserve us a big table together and managed the large food and drink order very ably. Thank you so much. We’ll definitely recommend to other local groups and hope to visit again in the future.
ESDEG Saturday School
Our group had a lovely time during yesterday’s visit. All the young people really enjoyed the rides, and the staff appreciated the donuts and hot drinks that were kindly provided. The overall experience was positive and well-organized. The group had such a good time that they’ve decided to visit the park again during the summer holidays. Thank you once again for your hospitality and support.

We had such a fantastic time at Adventure Island on Saturday, all our young people thoroughly enjoyed themselves and had a smile on their faces for the whole day. It was such a delight to see them all get on so well with each and enjoy their time at the park. Although it was a really hot day, all the staff were brilliant with making sure their water bottles were topped up and ensuing they stayed hydrated all day. Thank you so much again for a brilliant experience.
