The ticket prices are based on height rather than age, meaning if you’re tall enough to ride everything then you’ll need a different ticket to those who aren’t. Those under 1.2 metres will be able to get a ‘Little Pumpkins’ ticket which is priced at £12 in advance, or £17 on the door. Anyone over 1.2m will need to buy a ‘Gross Grown-Up’ ticket which is priced at £15 in advance, or £20 on the door.

The Addams Family ticket, for two Gross Grown-Ups and two Little Pumpkins, are also available at £45 in advance, or £65 on the door.

Spooktacular has a limited number of Non-Rider tickets for each session - they will gain access to the event but will not be able to ride any of the rides without a valid wristband. These are prices at £3 in advance, or £4 on the door.

Payment plans will also be available for families wanting to split the ticket price over two payments.
