Pleasure Beach Resort has been recognised as one of the world’s top theme parks, according to Tripadvisor.
The seaside attraction has secured a place in Tripadvisor’s 2026 Travellers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things To Do, being ranked sixth in Europe and tenth globally in the Amusement & Water Parks category.
This, it said, makes Pleasure Beach Resort the top-rated theme park inside of the UK, well above Alton Towers in 14th place and Drayton Manor in 18th.
Decided by reviews submitted in the past year, the award celebrates the highest standard of excellence in travel, with the honour being held by fewer than 1% of listings on Tripadvisor.
Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort said: “The theme park industry is operating at an incredibly high standard, so to be recognised not just as one of Europe’s best but among the world’s finest is a real honour.
“Guest experience is at the heart of what we do, and these results are a wonderful reflection of that commitment. I’m really looking forward to taking that on-park experience to the next level with the opening of our ride, Aviktas, on May 21.”
