The park is located 2.5 miles from the harbour town of Tenby in South Wales, a tourism hotspot and popular destination of choice for family breaks and days out.
Attracting over 60,000 visitors annually and with 650 families holding season tickets, The Dinosaur Park is a favourite among locals and holidaymakers alike, and also welcomes educational school trips throughout the year, supporting lessons about dinosaurs on the National Curriculum.
There is the opportunity for a new owner to buy the park and run it as a lifestyle business, or to employ an onsite General Manager to handle day-to-day operations of the park.
The 120 acres of additional land surrounding the park are also available by separate negotiation, as well as a three-bedroom bungalow, and the park offers scope for further expansion.
The attraction rates highly on Trip Advisor with one of the 644 five star customer reviews saying, 'Genuinely brilliant. We have been season pass holders for five years, this should tell you something about how great the dinosaur park is. There's so much to do, the park is always incredibly well kept and spotlessly clean. The staff are always really kind and helpful, allowing you to stay on rides if there is no queue'.
Another visitor commented, 'Perfect family day out, enjoyed by everyone in the family. I went with my 2 sons and daughter ages 13, 9 and 7. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with the cafeteria being particularly slick. I’d highly recommend it, all 3 of mine asked if they can go again'.
Gabriela Williams, business agent for leisure at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale, commented: “The Dinosaur Park is an outstanding visitor attraction, and this is a unique opportunity to own a very profitable, turn-key leisure business.
"Over the past 30 years the owners have built, grown and developed the park to the successful attraction it is today, and there is still further scope and potential for it to be expanded even further. We expect the park to appeal to a national buyer audience and are welcoming enquiries from prospective purchasers.”
The Dinosaur Park is on the market with a guide price of £4,500,000 with Christie & Co, call Gabriela Williams on 07764 241302 to find out more. For more property stories join our Amazing Welsh Homes Facebook group here.
