Advantages: entertaining

Disadvantages: expensive if you go on the day

This ageing dinosaur of theme parks still has a lot to offer for families if you pay the right amount to get in!!
We currently use Merlin entertainment passes that we got using clubcard vouchers,much,much cheaper.
Also means that i dont feel like i have been mugged every time i walk through the gate!!
Have never been keen on the arcade/funfair hard sell tactics of the sideshow boys (lobster pots/darts etc) avoid these at all costs!! they are a con and have witnessed many people lose a lot of money.

Summer is a busy time and expect to queue for at least an hour for even the most basic rides,the more adult rides vampire,rameses revenge can get queues of almost three hours!!

The whole park needs a make over,but were else can you see tigers and gorillas so close up??
New sealife centre is well worth a visit with some really nice displays,kids more interested in queueing for rides!! plenty of places to sit and relax and always feel safe with the kids.

Summary: a classic but needs updating
