There are quite a few rides outside, although as someone else mentioned beware of the road and kids. Im not sure of the opening times, but it opens quite late in the summer.

This is bowling, which is not listed, although 'mini golf' is a sport! Apparently…read more I took my daughter and her friend in here, after a lunch (please remember this was post a heavy lunch!). We met my daughter's friend's Dad and little brother, and they asked if they could join us. The more the merrier! Now, I haven't been bowling for years. But what fun we had. Needless to say, the Dad won and little brither lost and I'm not telling you who was where in between, but is so satisfying to watch your ball rumble down the middle of the lane! This place serves food - fast food, which is fairly inexpensive. Bowling for two children and one adult was £13.05. Try working that one out! I thought it was a bit steep. The staff seem a bit bored and the shock of the noisey music makes you unable to hear them or be heard. However, at the lanes the music is less noisey and most heard is laughter and shouts of pleasure or disappointment. Mostly my shouts were pleasure or encouragement, but I beganto flag very slightly at the end as this is a real workout if you've eaten lunch! All in all, I recommend this, and I'm going back for sure.

The old Penny Arcades of Barry Island are a much-loved part of its history. Though they have…read morecertainly moved on into becoming the amusement arcades we'd recognise today with driving and shooting games, there is still a part of the history present in the arcades around the area. Fun Harbour is home to some of the more bewildering games along the sea front, including the one where you side swipe at some ducklings, or the one where you attempt to guide a small car around some other oncoming small cars on a conveyor belt. It is also the place where you will find the largest Chupa Chup lolly known to humankind. In line with nearly all arcades, you can expect to pay £1 or more for a drive around a virtual track. In the summer season these arcades can be buzzing with kids spending their pocket money and competitive adults hoping for glory on one of the many racing games. But as with much of Barry Island if you venture in the winter months then you may be only person there. More games for you!

At last! A bar for the nerdy!…read more I've been here twice so far, the first was more of a tentative visit (I heard rumours of a place with old school arcade machines and needed to see this for myself) on a beer fuelled Saturday night, it was a full house so I didn't really get to play on any of the machines, but did nod in approval that they did indeed have them. The second time however, I did get to play the machines. Yes, it did mean that I ignored my friends, but the important thing was that I had fun and got to drink beer (Sierra Nevada beer on tap, bravo) whilst playing double dragon and Woo'ing like some kind of man-child. I think it is about time that pubs, bars and clubs around here stopped treating retro cabinets as taboo and applaud Kongs for breaking it, but I will have to deduct points for using emulators (booo). On top of cabinets, Kongs also has a foosball table and ping pong (which you can hire out for about 30 mins). I didn't have food on any of my visits, but the menu boasts a healthy amount of pizza and bar snack food. Basically everything you need for trying to get a high score on Donkey Kong. Feedback? More retro cabinets, less emulators. Would love to see Ms Pacman, Galaga,TMNT Turtles in Time, centipede, punch out, Marvel vs Capcom and metal slug... To name a few. Summary; Kongs is basically the Big Chill with Arcade Cabinets.

Kongs is a new super cool bar on the recently named 'Beermuda Triangle' of King Street…read more While Kongs is similar in way to its neighbours, The Beer Emporium and Small Bar, in that it sells an array of craft and imported beers, the look, feel and playfulness of it really sets it apart. As you walk in, one of the first things you'll notice is an arcade machine table that you can play donkey kong and other classic video games on. And that sets the tone throughout he rest of the bar. They have table tennis, foosball and around 8 other brand new arcade games at the other end of the bar. Now, if someone were to tell me about it, I probably wouldn't be that impressed, because to be honest I'm not a gamer and it all sounds a bit gimmicky - but it really works! The games aren't 'in your face' and there isn't lots of flashing lights everywhere. It's a really nice, stylish bar that has a kind of student union hang out feel to it, but without the students (I've not seen any in the couple of time I've been there, anyway) As I mentioned before, they sell a good amount of craft and imported (mainly European) beers and have a nice looking food menu. I've not eaten here yet but I definitely will be back to sample some of the food soon. I love how the top end of King Street has turned into a beer drinkers heaven, without becoming rowdy and/or busy. And I think it's new name of the 'Beermuda Triangle' sums it up perfectly and it may just be my new favourite part of town. Kongs, with its playful interior is the perfect new addition - kind of like Small Bars younger, naughtier brother.

They're all so happy and helpful and loved us! 3 even said they didn't want us to leave! The staff at the accommodation/reception, are awful, rude and vile. Discriminating against disabled/trans people for some unknown reason! And making up lies about us. Fully grown adults lying, smirking and making snide comments about us while we're staying with them.We hired two wheelchairs and one of them was broken. Staff at the park promptly changed it for us. It did keep breaking, sadly.The accommodation was nice and somewhat clean. One of the kitchen cupboards was full of sticky stuff, there were moths and spiders everywhere, cob webs behind all of the bed headboards (we only found this because a spider ran down behind there and we had to shine our torches down to find it and seen all the cob webs behind the headboard) and cob webs all over the ceilings, stained carpets, dirty windows, including hand prints. The accommodation was immaculate last year.We stay in the same one every year and were surprised to find toilets and a TV this year! (We called to book). That was a lovely surprise, as struggling all the way to the toilets, was a nightmare before, with being disabled. Although, the "paths" weren't equipped for wheelchairs at all. They're full of gravel/stones, which makes it impossible to use wheelchairs on it and there's no other hire options for disabled people. I.e electric wheelchair/mobility scooter, etc.The evening entertainment was brilliant! As always! Mostly the same as last year, but was great! We love joining in, in all the entertainment at The Adventure Zone. Although, the play area closes way too early, as the children are bored, while the adults are playing Bingo, etc. it should be open until The Adventure Zone closes, as the children don't have anything to do after 8pm, except the arcades, which are NOT cashless and you can NOT use the Crealy cards, as advised by staff. We were told we could use them "anywhere" then later found out there were many places, you could not use them. Look up the definition of cashless, before claiming you're cashless. Every time we wanted to use money, at the cashless places, we had to queue up in a massive queue outside of the park, to top up! If we wanted cash, for the "CASHLESS" places, which were NOT cashless, we had to top a card up, then get a full refund from the card and put the remainder on a new card. It was a whole nightmare! Not to mention the queues. To be told "they can be used anywhere" when they cannot, is ridiculous! You need to elaborate! Again, look up the definition of cashless, before claiming you've gone cashless. We didn't find out until the end of the holiday, that there was another place we could top the cards up - Reception. There were still queues, but nobody told us any information whatsoever about all of this, until the end.Not everything's made for everyone, sadly.. the Hideaways, for example. They're not wheelchair accessible. Stones covering all the paths and roads.. it's a nightmare for walking on, let alone wheelchairs. However, the park is built perfectly for wheelchairs and electric chairs.We hired bedding for £50, which says it includes towels and We received one Hand towel (6 of us).. we do this every year and last year, we all had a towel each, plus hand towels and others! Everyone else had towels, but us.We were forced to purchase toilet roll, as, apparently, it's not provided in the Hideaways, yet, even in the tents, you get toilet roll in the toilets. We had one the first day and none after that. The one we had, ran out after a couple of hours. We asked for some at Reception and was told "do they not have any in the shop?".. we said "no, we've just been and asked and we were told they don't sell it". So, even the shop, doesn't have what we require!! One lovely member of staff, went out to her car to get some for us, so that was lovely of her to do! (My son was on the toilet at the time)The Fish and Chip shop in The Adventure Zone.. closes at 3:00-3:30 and doesn't open again! It used to open for people staying, as well as those who come for the day, but apparently, we're now forgotten about. We needed to get tea, for the children and the only options we had, were the expensive options. "Plenty of places to eat" they say, yet, half of the places are closed! The Waffle Shack wasn't open once when we were there. 8 whole days.Not enough outside chairs at the accommodation, considering it's a 6 person accommodation. There was one small table and four chairs, so we couldn't eat together outside Comfort is a pain, as there's nowhere comfortable to sit, yet, in the cheaper one (Safari) you get a sofa! Even the beds were awful! We woke up in pain, from them, every single morning! You can feel the springs in the mattresses. review too long.

Plenty of picnic areas, indoors and out - that's important if you're taking a few kids. The food is a tad pricey - like all amusement parks. Entrance fees are steep for just one day - but for a whole day and taking your own food and drink it works out ok. Best deal is the yearly pass. I really like the safety. I just go and chill for a few hours, read or computer, drink coffee, people watch... and the kids rocket around with plenty of staff to check their safety.
