| Category | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Wigginton, York, North Yorkshire |
| Indoor area | 23,000 sq ft |
| Payment | Cashless only |
| Attractions | Indoor play, quad bikes, high ropes, water play, climbing, den building, animal petting |

| Peak adult ticket | £12.50 |
| Off-peak adult ticket | £3.95 |

The implication: families with toddlers pay a flat fee that unlocks the entire site — no per-ride upselling for the main attractions.
When did Web Adventure Park open?
Neither the official site nor the local tourism board lists an exact opening year in publicly available materials. The park was formerly known locally as Creepy Crawlies, according to Little Vikings (local family blog), suggesting it operated under a different name before rebranding to The Web Adventure Park. Recent expansions have added the outdoor quad bike track and high ropes course, but a firm founding date isn’t confirmed from the sources at hand.
History of the park
- The park changed name from Creepy Crawlies to The Web Adventure Park at some point, per Little Vikings (local family blog).
- It now operates as a combined indoor-outdoor attraction with rides and animals.
The catch: without a confirmed opening date, visitors relying on the park’s longevity as a quality signal should instead assess recent TripAdvisor reviews and the official website’s current offering.
Where is the Web Adventure Park in York?
The park sits in Wigginton, a village north of York city centre. Directions and parking are straightforward, but the cashless-only policy is the one thing most first-timers miss.
Directions
- Address: Wigginton, York, North Yorkshire, England (TripAdvisor (user reviews))
- Close to the A1237 outer ring road, about 15 minutes drive from York Minster.
Parking information
- Parking available on site (Official Web Adventure Park (park operator))
- Car park is free, based on user reviews.
What this means: the location is car-dependent but parking costs nothing, which saves families roughly £5-10 compared to city-centre attractions.
Is Web Adventure cashless?
Yes — the park operates a cashless system. No notes or coins are accepted for any on-site purchase including tickets, food, and additional attractions like hook-a-duck. This policy is stated on the Official Web Adventure Park (park operator) website as a FAQ point.
Accepted payment methods
- Debit and credit cards
- Contactless payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay)
- No cash accepted anywhere on site
How to pay without cash
- Top-up wristbands or direct card payments at food and game kiosks.
- Bring a backup card in case of technical issues.
Families who forget the cashless rule end up turning around at the gate. The simplest fix: save a digital card on your phone before you leave the house.
Why this matters: for elderly grandparents visiting with grandchildren, a cashless policy can be a genuine barrier. The park’s website doesn’t mention a card-to-wristband conversion desk, so anyone without a contactless card or phone needs to plan ahead.
What are the ticket prices and discounts?
Pricing splits cleanly into peak and off-peak. The gap between the two is wide enough to reward weekday visits.

Upsides
- One ticket covers indoor and outdoor — no split pricing
- Indoor zone large enough for rainy days (23,000 sq ft)
- Baby sensory area means siblings of different ages can all find something
- Off-peak pricing genuinely cheap for budget-conscious families
- Free parking saves £5-10 per trip vs city alternatives
Downsides
- Cashless only — excludes visitors without cards/phones
- Off-peak tickets exclude rides and laser tag
- Additional paid games (hook-a-duck £1.50-£4) add up
- Exact opening date unclear — harder to assess track record
- Outdoor activities weather-dependent despite indoor backup
The indoor centre gives you slides, climbs, a ninja course, and role play villages all under one roof.
Visit York (local tourism board)
One all-inclusive ticket covers indoor play, outdoor adventure, the animals, and the entertainment — no need to top up for each activity.
Day Out With The Kids (family activity guide)
Peak tickets include 10 funfair rides like King Sizzler and Super Trouper — the sort of midway rides that usually cost extra at other parks.
Visit York (local tourism board)
The park operates a completely cashless payment system. No cash is accepted anywhere on site.
Official Web Adventure Park (park operator)
For a family with two kids age 4 and 7 visiting on a peak Saturday, the arithmetic works like this: £17.95 child × 2 plus £12.50 adult × 2 equals £60.90 for unlimited rides, laser tag, indoor play, and animal petting. Additional hook-a-duck style games might add £5-10, but there’s no per-ride ticket. The only real risk is a downpour that closes the outdoor section — but the indoor 23,000 sq ft zone cushions that blow.
For food logistics during your visit, the park’s Play & Eat option pairs well with advance planning — similar to how families coordinate meal timing at attractions across the UK (Waitrose Food to Order – Delivery Guide and Costs).

For those planning a full day out, the park pairs well with other top York attractions like the Jorvik Viking Centre and York Minster.
