Thrill Rides at Thorpe Park

Octopus' Garden at Thorpe Park

This area is best suited for the very young visitors to Thorpe Park, featuring a small ferris wheel, and a number of carousel type rides just for children. Some of the attractions are so small the adults won't be able to fit - but you can always watch the kids having a great time!

All rides in this section have a maximum height restriction of 1.3m.
