Flamingo Park is the amusement arcade next to the outdoor rides at the Stade. It's exactly the same…read moreas the numerous other practically identical amusement arcades dotted along the seafront but there is one big difference you actaully come away with winnings ! Not money, otherwise they wouldn't survive !! But they've had the brilliant idea of filling up the shove penny 2p machines with little toys and ornaments and you really can and do win them. So you'll still spend a fortune but you'll come home with a few souvenirs ! If they get stuckon the way down, don't hesitate to call over one of the workers going round filling them up - they give them to you with no hassle and are also happy enough to swap them over if the little china ornaments get chipped on the way down the chute !

Hiding under the A40 flyover, Bramley's Big Adventure is an indoor playground for kids aged 0-11…read more The centrepiece is a giant three-level play frame with slides, ball pits, swings, dens and separate areas for under-fives and babies. The really cool thing about this place is that there is no time limit during the week, so your kid can play there all day ( well, from 10:00 - 18.00). During the weekend its super busy and the kids can only play for max 2 hours- thats why we like to go during week days. There is also a Cafe area for the adults with free Wi-Fi, toy shops, organic food, drinks, coffee etc. The staff is nice but they have a couple of ladies that remind me of witches and they look very bored with their lives. One of them can be quite rude sometimes. They organise birthday parties ( with different themes-dinosaurs, hello kitty etc) and they have all kinds of deals. The parties include meals and party bags. Other facilities include separate children's toilets, disabled toilets, baby changing room and pram park. They provide baby bouncers and high chairs. A great place for local families with young children and a great place for kids to burn off their energy when the weather outside is sucky.

This place is a dream for parents, you can take your little ones along and let them play in the…read moreindoor play areas. I recently took my 11 month old son here for a birthday party. He loved playing in the under 5's ball filled play area and probably would have liked to been there all day if he had the choice. Parents can get in too and it is a lot of fun- just remember to wear your clean socks as you have to remove your shoes! It's is the ideal place for a birthday party as you dont have to think about the entertainment! After 45 minutes in the play area (more than enough for me!) the kids were taken upstairs for food and cake. The downstairs cafe sells organic drinks and snacks which is good if you dont fancy your kids going wild on a sugar rush. Bramleys is the perfect way to release your inner child and let your child play in a safe envirinment.

The only issue I saw was the lack of cleanliness at some of the places we ate at, especially the KFC. If you go here, try the Walking Dead ride, very unique.

We had a very nice day here overall!…read more The roller coasters were fun, but the rides are quite short overall, compared to other theme parks. Many snack bars were closed, but that was not a bad thing. Still, there were no long lines. There is hardly any good/healthy food. The themes are randomly thrown together and the park has no guideline (more). It seems like they have lost their concept. The theme was Oktoberfest and it was poorly executed. The employees who drove around in cheap costumes in a kind of rickshaw and played (Romanian) music, rather made fun of the other nationality (German). Apart from the fact that this is not ethical and discriminatory, it was in bad taste.

Plenty of things to do for kids of all ages from coasters, sk8board ride, arcades, small kiddie rides, gokarts, souvenirs.

Overall, I was very happy with my visit, and will most definitely visit there again! I absolutely loved the whole day, and there are lots of things for small children and adults to do!

This amazing roller coaster is in my top 3 rides in the UK. It's an exact replica of the layout of…read moreKingda Ka, currently the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, to be found in Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey, USA. Unlike most coasters which are gravity driven (the car is lifted to the top of the first hill and gravity takes it round), Stealth is one of the few cable launched coasters (like the catapult on an aircraft carrier) in the country - it wasn't the first; that honour belongs to RITA:Queen of Speed in Alton Towers. Stealth is however the fastest coaster in the UK. You are launched from 0 to 80mph in under 2 seconds along a straight track. Then the car goes up vertically 205 feet, back down 205 feet, then over little bunny hill before coming to an abrupt stop. After what can be a long wait, the ride is over in around 10 seconds but let me assure you that 10 seconds is an amazing compressed adrenaline rush. The feeling of acceleration along the track is like having a wind powered face lift. In the vertical phase, you feel like you're in the space shuttle as it is launched. The drop sensation on the downward section is surprisingly muted and the abrupt stop brings hysterical laughter to a lot of riders, the sign of a good ride. It's one of the few rides I prefer to ride at the front but it's worthwile having that unobstructed view of the launch and rising phases. Also a top tip - use the single rider queue!! I'm not sure why they call it Stealth - the superstructure is visible from all around the park and the launch is nothing short of sensational!

This is my favourite ride at Thorpe park along with saw. Me and my friends went at fright nights…read morewhere they had a special Halloween recorded audio to seem spooky which was a nice effect. Me and my friends were so scared to go on stealth the first time even though I have been on it before. We ended up going on it 6 times in one day. It was really nice when we could go in the pitch dark which was really scary as you couldn't see where you were going but then when you got to the top the whole park was lit up and the line of 20 minutes was totally worth the wait. Stealth will satisfy any thrill seeker and if you are scared of rollercoaster this is a great one to get rid of your fear of them as it does not go upside down!

We went to play mini golf on a Saturday afternoon. It was a fantastic pirate themed course and as I…read morehavent been mini golfing in ages, such a laugh. There are 18 holes and a great water feature, caves, and pirate ship decoration throughout the course. For £5 it was a bargain because it took over an hour to complete with our group. Glad we arrived early as it did get quite busy behind us. There were a few holes that were a bit run down, one in particular had no fake grass but others were brand new. I am thinking that they may be in the process of redoing them for summer. It didnt effect my terrible golf game one way or the other though. There was a cafe outside with ice cream and drinks, so I had a post golf Magnum and diet pepsi. There is an inside play area which would be great if you had kids for parties. Had a great day out and as it was cheap, will definitely be back.

I saw a few kids having a lot of fun in the ball pit; so soft play must be great! Personally, I went in the pool outside. It was a lovely day (they had the squirting animal on) and just really enjoyed the visit. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a family day trip. Overall, a great day out!
