Advantages: Something for everyone - free entry

Disadvantages: A little expensive

Brighton Palace Pier is one of the most famous symbols of Brighton, in conjunction with the Pavilion.

It is a true pleasure pier and has some amazing fun fair rides for all the family.

It is free to enter the pier, so if all you want to do is have a wander and enjoy the cool breezes, its not going to cost you anything.

There are two family bars on the pier which allow children up until around 7.00 pm, so you can relax over a drink while your kids have fun on the rides.

To go on rides you need to purchase tokens which cost £1 each and rides vary in price from 3 tokens to 7, depending on what kind of ride you want to go on.

There are attractions for everyone, such as the Waltzers and the Carousel, others for smaller children and the true thrillseeker rides which are not for the faint hearted! If you go on the Booster, or Super Booster for example you will find yourself being hurled "out to sea" - definitely not something I would enjoy but it always seems busy!

There is also a large amusement arcade with lots of slot games for you to try out and they give out tickets which you can cash in for prizes if you get enough of them!

There is even a karaoke bar on the pier, although sadly this is for adults only - its my only complaint about the pier as I feel its a missed opportunity to add to the family fun by not being open during the day for everyone to enjoy.

A family day out at the pier isn't cheap, but then again whenever were attractions such as this, but it is guaranteed to be fun and have something to please everyone, especially on a rainy day.

Summary: Iconic icon of Brighton which aims to entertain and easily does
