It offers a mix of modern thrill rides and classic family attractions, including a wooden roller coaster, the 'Roller Coaster' (one of the oldest in the UK), and a dedicated children's area with gentle rides. The park is free to enter, with pay-as-you-go or wristband options available. Highlights for families: Kiddie rides (ages 2–8) like the teacups and mini coaster, alongside high-thrill rides for older kids and adults. Facilities: On-site refreshment kiosks, picnic areas, and nearby beach access. Baby changing and toilets are available. Practical tips: Arrive early to avoid queues; buy wristbands online for best value. Open March–October, weather-dependent. Rain may close some rides, so check forecast.
