There are no rollercoasters or rides at an Amazement Park®, well not yet, but there are plenty of exciting twists and turns in our immersive art maze.
Wake The Tiger Amazement Park® is a self-guided walk through experience where visitors are transported to another world and encouraged to discover clues to the lives and challenges of the four Guild communities.
Meridia is a parallel world, fantastically different to our own, yet facing a similar crisis of environmental crisis.
The experience is self-guided so it really depends on each individual, however as a guide people have taken anywhere from 40 minutes to well over 2 hours.

Please note pushchairs must be left at the reception desk and we ask that babies be placed in carriers.
Unfortunately we don’t allow pushchairs into the experience due to some spaces being too small for them, however there is pushchair parking on entering so you can safely leave it until you’ve finished the experience.
