Flamingo Land is the creation of Edwin Pentland, an entrepreneur who sold his cinema chain to build what is now a huge amusement park in North Yorkshire. It ws originally a zoo, and flamingos were the first animals Edwin bought, hence the name. Stay in one of our hotels near Flamingo Land and see how the zoo has evolved. Enjoy the Lost River Ride, a boat safari which meanders along the river, giving you the views of African game. Or if you prefer your rides a bit more white-knuckle, try Pterodactyl inspired by the pre-historic predator.
