Three words for this; OH MY GOD! what a brilliant, brilliant experience. A little nerve racking and…read moreslightly breathtaking what a perfect way to head down a mountain! This was the most fun I've had in ages, suddenly I felt ten years old again, whilst the wind blew my hair and my bladder threatened to give in to my giggling. Seriously, so much fun and such a simple idea. Rubber rings + slide + reasonable prices = Fun, fun, FUN! OK, so Ebbw Vale is off the beaten track from Cardiff but because the super Tubing is right next door to the Festival shopping Outlet so there's shops and cafe's a plenty right on the tubing's doorstep. Perfecto. There's also a massive wooden play area with a castle which is great for under ten's. Prices for the Super tubing vary from off peak to on peak. Peak £5.00 for 5 runs - Weekends and Holidays Off peak £5.00 7 runs - Out of holidays, before 3.30 pm midweek Additional runs available at discount on most days The slide is open seven days a week; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday open from 10.00am to 5.30pm. Sunday open from 11.00am to 5.00pm. Late finish on Thursdays 10.00am to 7.00pm! This is an activity guaranteed to get smiles all round, the over-cautious should take spare pants

A reasonably good day out as long as the sun shines!!! A little overpriced I thought - but then I…read moream a skinflint. Possibly would have awarded this four stars if with younger children as it was aimed more at them. It was a little tame for the tastes of both hubby and my six year old son. I thought it was kind of charming - but perhaps not worth paying £12.00 a head for. The actual building is stunning from the outside and you cannot fault the views over the cove below. Inside the castle its been kitted out like a museum and is mostly home to toys, puppets, dolls and pier type animatronics and slot machines from yesteryear. Very interesting - but only enough to keep you occupied for an hour or so unles you are a fanatic. One whole room devoted to a large model railway- if you like that kind of thing. Also some grisly dungeons, and displays of old tools and farming appliances with some fairly educational information. Inside, and in fact then all the way around the park are amusement games and interactive displays which are made up from reconditioned old pier attractions. These are fascinating - but do be prepared with a ton of 1p- 10p coins to get them going - none of it is free! Outside there are a selection of childrens rides, again fairly traditional and slow paced - so more for the very young. Also there is gnome land which is bizarre, cute and disturbing in equal measures. There is a whole village of houses, pubs, etc,. where these gnomes live, and you can peer through the windows and observe them in their daily lives. Set in Woodland its very picturesque and mildly entertaining for adults - I am guessing young girls would enjoy this most. Hubby insists the gnomes were all models - but I am not sure!! Lots of traditional fun to be had also with crazy golf, a huge slide, and water fountains/ interactive displays. Not sure how you would fair in bad weather as most of the action was outside. If you prefer genteel and thought provoking rather than action-packed you may enjoy it here.

I took my daughters to Watermouth castle last year and they had a great time. There were plenty of…read moreactivities for them to get involved with. I found the prices fairly expensive as for a child over 14 years it is 12 pound so straight away that's 24 pound gone. My daughters got in for free so I suppose that was a good thing. My daughters favourite thing was when they were walking around part of the site where they had these little boxes where they had to press the button and when they did there favourite nursery rhymes played and little puppets inside moved. They were both racing to press the next one. They also enjoyed the water/light show I remember seeing this when I was younger. My favourite bit was watching them trying to find the golden nuggets amongst the sand. Other things that are at the site are: rides, tilting house for you to try and walk around in, old slot machines for you to play on, walk around the grounds, go through the gnome land and lots more, mini golf. Overall I would say this is a great place to go but I probably would only go there once a year.

In the 20+ acres you have all the reg farm animals to feed. Theres a couple of rides , bouncy castle and toy tractors to skoot around on. All this could be done in drizzly weather with wellys on but if its really bad theres a massive indoor play area. they have a small area for babys and toddlers thats well padded and keeps them entertained for ages. The older kids have lots to climb and the tallest slides i have ever seen. my heart was in my mouth watching the kids come down it , but they thought it was wicked. The farms very easy to find as burnham-on -sea isnt a big place to get lost in. well worth a visit :)

What a day I have had!…read more I thought, the rain is pouring, wind is blowing like like an Indian Restaurant after vindaloo night, the perfect day for a trip to the beach! I arrived and parked in the car park behind Aldi's which reminded me I needed to hemeroid cream next Thursday. I called into "The Beachcomber" and I was a little disappointed it didn't sell combs. My hair had been blown all asunder in the wind (what a day to forget my seagul feather plumed hat!) The bar man was friendly and I enjoyed joking with him as I ordered a pint of Pinot Grigio. I drank the whole glass in one gulp my thirst was so severe. Very nice it was too. Hints of citrus, top notes of mint, dill and vine ripened grapes. And a wonderful overtone of cow pats and graveyard dirt. After finishing my pint, I walked down to the food vendors and came across Sinatra's. I ordered a bacon and cheese hotdog. Service was excellent except for the baboon who was doing unspeakable things with a banana (I saw his eyes, they had murder in them). They served me my hotdog and I filled a shotglass with mustard, before sitting down on the beach. This is where the real drama started. I was attacked by the SEAGULLS FROM HELL. MINIONS OF BEELZBUB. WINGED RAVEN OF THE DEVIL. TORIES!!! (Probably didn't help that I was wearing a coat made from bread and sing "Nom, nom, nom! Look at these buns!") Anyway, to cut a long story short, I was carried off by the seaguls and I believe as I'm writing this, I'm about 1 mile off the coast of Weston-super-Mare. Coney Beach 5/5

No, this amusement park is more like a permanent fairground, with all the slightly dodgy looking rides (the sort you can pack up in the back of a lorry and drive to the next destination) and the slightly dodgy looking operators. This being said, you can still have a good time at Coney Beach, it's just going to be the kind of fun you get from eating too much candyfloss. The location is quite nice, with a large and popular beach and seafront just a hop skip and a jump away. There are also donkey rides available if you're into that kind of thing. It's something a bit different anyway.

I came…read morehere on the 23rd and the atmosphere was fantastic. ~ Atmosphere: Really where the stars come from! Even though the place is super crowded, it wasn't dirty because there was constantly staff walking around ensuring that all the litter left by drunk people were cleaned up. There's music playing and be sure to snag a seat by huge German sausage BBQ pit, the smell is divine! The Christmas decor was top notch as well, with the traditional wood cabins for all the food stalls and shops. ~ Variety: The main reason why they don't get a full 5 stars from me. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of things to do if you have kids. A good 3/4 of the event space is composed of kid-friendly rides! Guaranteed that your children would be massively entertained for hours here. Unfortunately, my partner and I didn't have any kids and adult entertainment is limited. There's ice skating, a bar, ice sculpture viewing, and a ferris wheel. A small selection of things that doesn't really populate an entire evening (though I guess you can spend plenty of time at the bar). ~ Food: The food they had here was definitely amazing, though I'm slightly disappointed at the choices. They had plenty of drinks options, but only sausages for hot food. Desserts however include crepes; nutella crepes anybody?! They were absolutely delicious! --- Overall, Winter Wonderland gets a 4 stars from me. Lacking in entertainment for adults, but what I did get I was really happy with!

The Winter Wonderland is the most Christmasy thing to possibly do this side of the North Pole…read more Now be warned this make-shift park is only open from November and closes in the January, so try and plan your visit around these dates if you fancy a 'festive fancy'. With an ice-rink, fairground, tents filled to the brim with winter warmers and treats, if your not feeling festive by the time you've left your name must be Ebaneezer. Even me, the harshest Christmas critic left planning on putting a tree up. With so much to do and such a pretty, happy atmosphere this is a must for people who still believe in the guy with the red suit. The ice rink is a nice size and plays up to the date chart music mixed in with the odd carol. Staff have that friendly aura that usually only comes with Disney Land. The hot chocolate, although slightly pricey is seriously out of this world and if you feel like being really cheeky add a sneaky Baileys. I'm off now to play; 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!'

Barry Island Pleasure Park & Funfair is a must-visit if you're a huge Gavin & Stacey fan - which I…read moream. While visiting the U.K., I made sure we stopped at Barry Island so I could see all the filming locations in person, and I was not disappointed. I snapped photos of everything, played at the arcades, visited Marco's Café, and soaked in all things Gavin & Stacey. If you're not familiar with the show, you might wander through and wonder why there are photos everywhere, who "Nessa" is, and what "What's occurring?" means. But even without the TV connection, Barry Island is still a fun seaside spot. Think of it as Santa Cruz or Coney Island - arcades, deep-fried treats, ice cream cones, and a lively beachfront atmosphere. Bottom line - if you're a Gavin & Stacey fan, this is an absolute must. If not, it's still a pleasant place to spend a sunny afternoon, though I wouldn't travel far out of my way just for it!
