This place was a not a dissapointment, It was overpriced, dark and quite dingy. The cashier was the…read moreexpected grumpy type that looked like he could'nt be bothered. A limited group of video games and slot machines are available to play also a pool table. A small cafe is attached, which is'nt bad to be honest. Theres an outside seating area which is serviceable and clean. Its got the usual menu, burgers, hotdogs etc. Cans of juice are expensive tho. On a positive note, the ice cream was good and reasonably priced. To be honest its a shame about the amusements as its right next door to one of the best beach parks i've ever been in.

Who cannot love a good old seaside amusement hall. I love these places, and this one is great, it…read morehas everything you would expect it to have. There's the dance machines, the motorbike arcade games, the slot machines, the frustrating 1p and 2p machine where the coins some how defy gravity and never fall off, air hockey machines and loads of other little games that keeps you entertained for hours, let alone any kids! The amusement hall is on the beach front and when it's warm an ice cream van parks up by it, offering lots of tempting treats. If you want to go for the full on traditional seaside experience, then about 5 minutes along the promenade, there's a whole series of fish and chips shops.
This is the last beach front arcade in Portabello and it is great. Such a throwback to being a kid…read moreand playing the penny falls machine and your hands being so grubby afterwards after handling all the coins! For me this is a fun, wet weather wee day out with my husband for a laugh. Yes the carpets are a little worn around the edges and yes it is a bit old fashioned, but plenty fun and you can get an ice cream too. Many of the machines give tickets rather than monetary prises and you then swap the tickets at their shop. Everything from toys to sweets.

M & D's. There are…read moreworse places to spend your time, but it's not worth raving about. The actual rides are on a small scale and too few. The staff are also on the wrong side of 18 working for pennies and are as enthusiastic as you would expect. You also have to go over 11,000 speedbumps to get there. On a warm day, there is also a 70% chance of being robbed. The indoor complex is decent, with good bowling, a pool hall and loads of arcade games. They also have a really good crazy golf. It's in Strathclyde Country Park which, on a good day, helps alot. Worth going to, but it's nothing worth taking your camera for.

East Links is a nice farm/theme park/petting zoo just outside Dunbar. You just can't miss it…read morebecause there is a large brown castle with 4 towers sporting the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish flags. They have various animals that I have never seen before like lamas, rheas, wallabies and even a highland cow! A newborn baby donkey was born on Monday and it was so cute when I saw it while we whizzed past on the train. You even get to feed baby lambs in the petting area which is the cutest thing ever! The fortress is good and has large freefall chutes going to the bottom which are really fast and I actually had to hold onto the sides to slow me down a bit! There are rat tunnels (which are very dark and scary), nets, bridges, ropes and a ramp to the top if you feel lazy. On the 4 towers, there are cannons which you can shoot tennis balls out of. There are 3 go-kart tracks, 2 of which are for small children but the one behind the fortress is for hardcore teenage drivers, like me! There is also mini golf (tokens are required to hire balls) and an indoor ball shooting arena. The prices are a bit ridiculous for the size of the place. It is about £15 per head and you will need to pay even more once you get inside (the tearoom, shops, animal feeding dispensers and golf ball dispensers charge you.) The tearoom was actually quite nice for a theme park café but the prices were quite steep! I was charged £4 for a bottle of Irn Bru and a honeycomb traybake. Ridiculous prices. The food was good though and it was the first time I had ever tasted Irn Bru. It doesn't taste as orangey as it looks. It's like Fanta with a weird vanilla twist to it. The toilets are straight ahead as you enter and they were clean with no bad smells, plenty of soap and hot water that was actually hot. The Dyson Airblade dryers worked fine too. I will be back at East Links in the summer because I didn't actually get to see everything in one day! The sweet shop on the way out is not to be missed too.
East Links farm is a brilliant, well priced day out for all the family…read more At first glance it seems quite small, but further investigation proves differently! There are animals to see, horses to feed, a train ride to be taken, trampolines to be jumped on, a hay barn to be hidden in and much, much more. You can buy animal feed and bird feed to use at your discretion I believe it was only around 25p a portion which was great. The onsite shop is small but lovely with a small range of reasonably priced items. There is a huge barn with tables for picnic consuming which is a blessing with Scotland's weather! We really enjoyed our visit and would go back any time. Highly recommended!
