Every Friday in July, Playland is hosting exciting evenings dedicated to adults-only* (19+) amusement, complete with food, drinks, midway games, and of course, exhilarating rides. The grounds will be fully licensed, so guests can enjoy their favourite beverage throughout the park while experiencing the entertainment.
