Holywell Bay Fun Park near Newquay is the fun family day out with FREE entry and FREE parking. You pay as you play and so only those playing need to pay. In addition to that there are some free things like sandpits at no charge at all! It also means you haven’t paid loads to get in to find that there’s nothing there of interest, or because the weather has changed. Bring a picnic or eat in The Diner, or why not visit Daisy’s Ice Cream Parlour?
We enjoyed an afternoon at Holywell Bay Fun Park as part of our Cornwall Adventures. The Cornwall App has a deal on the Star Deals until the end of October 2016. There are a great variety of attractions which I would say mostly appeal to those up to the age of 10, but there were things that kept my 13 year old (and husband) entertained too.
Attractions at Holywell Bay Fun Park
There are 27 attractions listed on the map, unfortunately the Water Walkers were not in use when we visited. I liked that there is a height chart on display – so it is clear which rides are accessible to who. 
Our Favourites
- Merlin’s Magical Maze – we had a great time finding our way to the castle.
- Blaster Boats – omg we have never had so much fun absolutely covering everyone in water! Be warned you get wet! May be an idea to bring spare clothing with you!
- Crazy Croquet – such a lovely course, and some of it was tricky.
- Panning for Gold – and there was even a certificate at the end.
- Pedalos – the younger two boys had a lot of fun in these hand propelled pedalos.
- F1 Go Karts – petrol powered junior racing karts (although I think some extra supervision may be required to keep some of the other drivers in order on this one!)
- Star Cars – 2 seater cars with famous designs.

My family and I were invited to a Smartphone Photography Press Trip to Seaview Holiday Resort. This included some free and some discounted attractions. All words and opinions are honest and my own. No financial compensation has been given.
This is a good idea. It makes a lot of sense to just pay for the bits you’ll actually use. I love that parking is free too, sounds perfect.

Panning for gold. Sounds good. I like the idea of paying for the parts you want to rather than being disappointed. #CountryKids
I wish a lot more family attractions had the same charging policy! It would make family trips out far more affordable. I’ve generally found it’s very important that whatever is on offer entertains the husband as well as the children 🙂
Free entry and free parking-my kind of day out! We’ve had to avoid so many places this summer because they’re just so expensive for the 5 of us. Looks like you had a great time.

A couple of my kids have been here on birthday parties. I’ve still not visited but it’s quite a good idea have no entry free and then see how you go. I’m guessing things mount up if you do quite a lot but a good one to just pop into for one or two rides on the way back from the beach. I’m loving seeing all the things you managed to do here in Crnwall, no wonder you had no spare time, you did so many fab things.
Thank you for sharing another favourite with me on #CountryKids
This is the kind of place N would love. Anything where he can chop and change from one activity to the other is a great place! #countrykids
Wow what a generous place! Not a lot of family attraction are like this now. And looks like there are so many things to do there. I can already imagine how excited my son be if we visit =) #countrykids
Thats brilliant that its a pay as you play place. I imagine that it could work both ways if you had lots of kids of a similar age that wanted on everything. Great that they have free sand pits etc. Fun day out! #countrykids
I like the sound of the pay as you play and only paying for those attractions you use. The height chart sounds like a great idea too. Lovely photos – looks like you had a fun day out. #countrykids
I so love Cornwall Joy.It’s somewhere where you want to go back year after year as there’s so many great family attractions.
