It has all the typical things you'd find in an amusements such as fruit machines, etc etc. They have a small kiosk which sells fish and chips which are very nice, and also sells other typically fairground snacks like candyfloss. I believe they are currently working on installing a new bowling alley in fact it may already be finished which should attract a wider audience to the area.

The Fair is also attached to the Pier if you fancy a nice stroll, the beach is also quite clean here. Over the road from Ocean Beach Pleasure Park is a lovely park with large boating lake.

Inside there is a big soft play with some really big slides that they even let the adults go down...if you're brave enough!! There is also a large cafe / restaurant serving everything from hot food to picnic sandwich boxes for the kids that include a few healthy choices. Outside there is lots and lots to do! Loads of activities centre around the animals from sheep racing, rabbit meet and greet, pony grooming, pig feeding, ferret shows etc. there's plenty of animals to interact with. There is also a large outdoor play park with obstacles and a zip line swing, a sand pit area with diggers etc, trampolines, water balloon 'fight area', crazy golf, self powered go karts etc., all included in the price. The only ride we spotted that you had to pay extra for was a barrel ride, which at £1 each was okay and the kids loved it! All in all a great day out and the cakes and coffee from the cafe get the thumbs up from the adults :)

It is based right on the sea front and has a number of gamblers as well as arcade machines. The main attraction when i was a kid was that they had decent pool tables and the sonic blastman game, there always seemed to be a queue for this game so you could punch the bag to see how hard your punches were. I have not been to pier amusements for a while now and would not be suprised if it had not changed a bit so the rating it gets from me is based on nostalgic memories i have of the place : )

A quirky, creepy, corner, hidden away in deepest darkest Yorkshire? I'm sure you're wondering what…read morethis is all about? The Forbidden Corner takes twisted imagination, and turns it into genuine childlike wonder. It's a take on traditional country gardens, walled around the outside, with some interesting things on the inside. Within the twists and turns, there's lots to see, including bears playing cards, frogs on a fountain, a talking crow, and so much more. I'm not going to go into more detail there at risk of spoiling the surprise. So, why should you go? You should go if you want to rekindle your childhood sense of whimsy, of discovering hidden things, of exploring, of secret passageways and concealed paths. You're bound to find something here that makes you smile! There's both a café and a restaurant on site. The café serves the usual sandwiches, pies and pasties, wholes the restaurant has a more extensive menu. You can also take picnic, but can't eat it inside - there is a picnic area outside, and your ticket let's you go in and out as many times as you want. To go, you have to book in advance and pick a time slot. There isn't a limit on how long you can stay in, just when you can enter. I'd suggest booking as soon as you can, and picking out an early time. We spent about five hours, and that felt like a good length of time to be there. I'll be going back in the future - it was great fun, and well worth the trip.

As soon as you walk in the door this place screams character, the friendly staff are all decked out in braces and traditional 50's gear and the basic warehouse décor gives lane7 a real charm. Unfortunately we couldn't get booked in for bowling as Christmas parties dominated the lanes so we opted for an hour of pool on the slick American tables. For one hour we paid £12 which I feel is pretty reasonable. Lane7 offer a table service which means that you can focus on your sport of choice and not waste time queuing at the bar. The bar serves cocktails, spirits and draught beer including hipster drink of choice Brooklyn. They also do food with the restaurant set up like a dining hall. There's a really nice fun atmosphere in lane7, laughter is coupled with crashing ten pins and the back and forth of the ping pong balls. Don't be a turkey, strike the right chord with your mates by directing them to Lane7!

We then moved over to the dining area and we're split into two tables of 6. For starter I had the popcorn squid which was served with pico de gallo and garlic mayo. For mains I went for the Lobster roll served with fries (sweet potato fries also available) and ordered the halloumi salad as an extra side. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Decided to go for a liquid dessert which was the espresso martini. Quite strong but just what I needed to perk me up. One of the girls ordered an Irish coffee...bad move! I think lane 7 need to research their coffees a bit more as their version included baileys and milk. There were a few cock ups with sides arriving late and one of the dishes was more batter than squid but Amy our server sorted the problems quickly. Very friendly and bubbly girl. Bowling was a great way to get the weekend started as we all had a great laugh and some stupid bowling moves pulled. Definitely recommend booking beforehand.
