Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO GULLIVER’S RESORT BREAKS

The following terms & conditions are valid for all Gulliver’s breaks booked directly through the Gulliver’s website, hotline or on Park and any Gulliver’s breaks that are sold through approved third parties. Gulliver’s breaks sold through third parties may have additional terms & conditions imposed by the relevant third party and you should make sure you have read and understood all applicable terms & conditions prior to your booking. There are two types of break available to book;

Accommodation Only Breaks

These breaks do not include entry into the main Gulliver’s theme parks or any additional Gulliver’s attraction which must be purchased separately and will be subject to separate terms and conditions.

Stay and Play Breaks

These breaks will include entry into either, the main Gulliver’s theme parks, or any additional Gulliver’s attraction or a combination of these attractions. Your confirmation will specify which Gulliver’s attractions may be accessed within the purchase price of your Stay and Play break. Please note that the availability of the main Gulliver’s theme parks, any additional Gulliver’s attraction and specific rides, restaurants, attractions and facilities within each Gulliver’s attraction, differs throughout the year. It is your responsibility to check the website www.gulliversfun.co.uk before booking to ascertain what will be open and available to you during your break. Other than in accordance with clause 5.4 below, Gulliver’s will not be responsible for rides and attractions being closed during your break where this is a planned closure and was published on our website at the time of your booking. No refund or compensation will be given in these circumstances as the price of the break already reflects what rides, restaurants, attractions and facilities are due to be available.

Our Contract with You

When we receive the required payment and you have received a confirmation, a contract is formed. Your receipt of a confirmation will be deemed to have taken place 24 hours after booking if sent electronically and within 10 days if sent by post.
