Which strong parks are around the place you are going?

A short list, not a directory: only theme parks worth a full day. For each one: what it is, who it suits and how far it is from the centre.

How do we choose?

Parks are rated on several independent open-data signals: how well known they are, visitor numbers, physical scale and ecosystem. Small fairgrounds, mall play areas and hotel water parks are not listed.
