The cheerful and brightly-coloured bears are set to spread their fun across Drayton Manor – just in time for the Easter holidays.
A brand new Care Bears event at the Staffordshire-based theme park will launch on March 28 and run until April 19.
Fans of the wholesome characters can even meet the beloved bears – including Cheer Bear and Funshine Bear.
There will be multiple opportunities for meet-and-greets during the day at Drayton Manor and the bears will take to the stage for performances too.
In true Care Bear style, visitors will be able to spread kindness at the Share Your Care Pledge Wall and leave a positive heart shaped note.
Guests can also get creative at the Colours of Caring painting sessions and artwork made during the events will be displayed on the Care Bears mural in the park.
At the end of the day, a brand new Care Bear themed spectacular will take place on the lake.
Drayton Manor has announced its brand new Care Bears event that will take place over Easter
The popular characters will be brought to life through an impressive display of lights, colour, water and music.
If all the fun leaves you peckish, Drayton Manor will also be offering new food such as a Funshine Bubble Waffle – inspired by the cheerful yellow bear – and Share Bears Family Fundae, themed around the beloved purple character.
The well-known bears became immensely popular in the 1980s – with stuffed toys, a television show and other merchandise being released over the years.
Some of the original Care Bears include Bedtime Bear, Cheer Bear and Funshine Bear, but more characters have been added since.
Aside from the range of Care Bears activities, visitors will be able to get their fix of thrills on the park’s full selection of attractions including Gold Rush, The Wave, Maelstrom and Accelerator.
Family favourites including Thor, Loki and Jormungandr should also be operating.
Tickets are priced from £27.50 per person and visitors heading to Drayton Manor on March 28 and 29 can bag discounted entry from £24.90 to celebrate the reopening of the full park for the main season.
Drayton Manor was named the UK’s best value theme park by Premier Inn last year.
Victoria Lynn, managing director of Drayton Manor, said: ‘Following the huge success of our K-Pop Takeover during February half-term, we’re delighted to announce a brand-new Care Bears event for Easter, giving visitors even more ways to enjoy the park.

‘The event also marks the official reopening of the full theme park, with all rides and attractions open for the first time this year.
‘We’re excited to welcome families back once again and hope the additional experiences included in the ticket price offer even greater value throughout the Easter break.’
Katie Wilkinson, licensing lead – UK, publishing and promotions at Cloudco Entertainment, said: ‘We’re thrilled to see the Care Bears bring their message of sharing and caring to families at Drayton Manor this Easter.
‘Live experiences like this are a wonderful way to connect with fans, creating meaningful moments and memories that celebrate kindness, creativity and togetherness.’
