About Dreamland Margate
Dreamland is Margate's historic seafront amusement park, reopened in 2015 with vintage rides, a roller disco and a concert venue. Entry is free and you pay for rides. Through October 2026 ride wristbands are half price, which makes this the cheapest month to go.

Little ways to save
Go on an October weekend or half-term day for half-price wristbands.
If a child only wants three or four rides, tokens at £3 each beat a wristband.
Rides open at 11am, half an hour after the park, and stop at 3pm on 1 Nov.
The Scenic Railway was retired in January 2026, so don't promise it to the kids.
