Advantages: Sealife centre

Disadvantages: fair rides

A few months ago , me and a friend from uni decided to visit Skegness for a day randomly. We got a bus from Lincoln station and I think it was something like £7 for a return which I thought was quite reasonable. It took about 2 hours to get there and we went through a lot of villages on the way and to be honest I felt quite ill.

Once there, it wasn't the best day and was quite cold so it wasn't the perfect day, but there was still lots to do. First of all we stopped for a bite to eat as we were starving. We went to a chippy on the main strip and got a meal. It was pretty expensive for sausage and chips, something like £4.50 which I thought was a rip off. I would defiantly recommend shopping around or going to a pub or something instead.

With having only half a day there really we tryed to do as much as possible, this involved going on various games in the arcades (which now have guitar hero as a game?). There were so many arcades around we were spoilt for choice. We also visited Skegness pier, which doesn't really have anything on it anymore except a massive arcade and a couple of rides for babies.

The pleasure beach seriously needs updating; the rides there have been there for years and look it. There's a small rollercoaster, a ghost train, various kiddy rides and that's about it.

Whilst there we visited the sea life centre. I have never been before and was pleasantly surprised. They had seals, penguins, fish, goats, allsorts really. I think it cost £6.50 to go in and was a pleasant trip, I would go again.

We didn't really have time to do much else except buy some sticks of rock of course. I wouldn't recommend that you visit asap, but maybe on a hot summers day its better.

Summary: average
