Theme Parks that Offer a Rainy Day Guarantee

A trip to a theme park is usually something that is planned in advance, rather than on the spur of the moment. This does sometimes mean that the weather is not always as good as you would have hoped.

Luckily, this is something that some parks do understand. Many of them have a rainy day guarantee which offers free tickets if the day you visit is particularly wet. These tickets can be used on another day when the weather is hopefully a bit better. More details about the attractions that offer this guarantee and how you can take advantage of it can be found below.

Alton Towers…

Alton Towers is a theme park in Staffordshire that is known for thrill rides such Nemesis and Oblivion. If the weather is too wet, then certain rides may have to close. Alton Towers offers a rainy day guarantee if it rains continuously for more than an hour on the day of your visit. You will find a list of days where the guarantee has come into effect on the official website. If you had a ticket for any day on the list that was booked in advance, then you will be entitled to claim another ticket for free. You can reserve this ticket online and you also need to retain your original ticket as this will need to be shown in order to receive your free ticket, which can be collected on the day of your second visit.

Chessington World of Adventures…

When you are planning your second visit, you will need to reserve your tickets online. When you go to the ticket office on the day of your visit, you will be able to exchange this reservation and your original ticket for a free ticket.
