Amity Cove

Amity Cove sits just outside Chertsey in Surrey, offering fair-weather fun for families after a day of outdoor exploring. It's a proper theme park setup with rides and attractions scaled for younger kids rather than thrill-seekers - think bumper cars, log flumes, and the sort of rides that keep under-twelves entertained for a solid couple of hours.

The appeal is straightforward: it's close to several caravan parks in the area, particularly Penton Park and Laleham Camping Club, both within walking distance or a quick drive. If you're based at one of the Chertsey parks and the weather turns decent, it's a reasonable half-day outing without needing to trek halfway across the country.

That said, don't expect anything revolutionary. It's the sort of place that works best as a bonus activity rather than your main event. Families with young children will get the most value, though older kids who've done the bigger parks might find it a bit thin on the ground. Allow two to three hours maximum, including queue time and food breaks.

Worth noting: opening hours and admission fees aren't readily available online, so ring ahead before you plan around it. Surrey's not short of parks and green spaces, so if you're staying at Chertsey Caravan Park or Weybridge Park Estates, you've got plenty of backup options if weather or crowds make Amity Cove feel like a miss on the day.
