We didn’t know what to expect when we visited as it’s a small place and a great price. We loved it. The enclosure’s are clean, the entire place is clean and the staff were very informative. Our favourite section was the butterfly house. We could of stayed in there for ages watching them and having them settle on us. We highly recommend and will go back again the next time we are on holiday.

Great place that runs on your donations. We weren't sure what to expect, but we loved every minute. The seals at feeding time are funny & it's fun to watch. The staff worked very hard to make sure the animals get fed & everyone has fun. There are goats & one is especially cheeky & you can't forget the lamas & all the other animals. We had a fantastic afternoon. If you get a chance to go, please do & remember to donate if you can.

Amazing day out! Me and my girlfriend loved this place. There was so much to Sea ;). The seals feeding is definitely worth a watch, all the seals have personalities, and it's a blast to see them all chasing after the fish! Great facilities gor food and shopping and a great variety of farm animals, reptiles and much more!

Fantastic place to visit. Lots more than just seals but the main focus is the seals and especially rescues. Do a lot of good work and should be supported. Well worth popping into if in Skegness. Reasonable prices for admission too

Delightful place, the seals were lovely and the Henry the goat was very entertaining. Also the cakes in the restaurant were fantastic and very difficult to choose between. It was a cold February day in term time, so it may be more busy at other times of the year, but there were no queues and while not empty, it was quiet enough see everything.

We had a fun visit during the school holidays. It was interesting to see the seals being rescued and how they are looked after. All the animals appeared to be in good condition and well taken care of. Staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. Only reason not a 5 star is we were only thee for an hour and saw everything twice so it seems a little expensive compared to other venues of similar price

I called in here with 2 friends, we are all on the wrong side of 60! It was about 2pm and we looked around at the various delightful animals. We went into the gift shop to buy something to support this wonderful place. At 3pm we watched the seals being fed, it is well worth a visit to find out exactly how much it costs to care for each seal and how they rely on customers income.

A great place to visit whilst in Skegness. They rescue and treat the seals then release them back into the wild. They have interactive shows at feeding times where the children get to find out more about baby seals. The range of animals don’t stop there though. They also have crocodiles, reptiles, llamas, chickens, Guinea pigs, a tropical garden with huge beautiful butterflies inside. Tickets are reasonable priced and the proceeds go to a brilliant cause. A must visit if you are in the area.

Lovely place, lots of animals to see not only the seals. Went with my family, we all had great time. Not sure what to expect, pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful sanctuary and a wonderful demonstration on feeding the seals. Only complaint was the penguins barely had any water in their section due to something not working and it was an extremely hot day and they were just left hiding in their little box with no water to cool them down. I think they should have been moved while their little area was broken :(

Really nice little place, we really enjoyed it. My 4 year old loved it too. We timed it well and saw both the adult and baby seals getting fed so that was cool too. Very clean, lovely staff, and a really nice cafe which was cheap and tasty. Highly recommend, can't fault it at all.

Few things were shut due to the time of tue year, but that's okay. There's was still a good amount open. Wasn't too expensive so can't complain. The animals enclosures were clean and tidy. Lots of seals to see and others animals too.

Our second visit and we shall be back. We love to know our entrance fees are going to help care for injured seals and is really making a difference. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and I really recommend listening to the seal talks. Our latest visit did fall on a rainy day and a few of the animals were hiding, include the beautiful goats but who doesn't want to hide in the rain?! This visit takes around 2 hours and is great value for money in addition to knowing the money goes direct to the sanctuary. £30 odd pounds for a family ticket for 4 of us just can't be beaten. Thanks to all involved in running Natureland - you are doing a marvellous Job especially when funds are limited.

A lovely place to learn about seals and the good work the sanctuary does! Loads more than just seals..... aquarium, penguins, goats, reptiles, rabbits etc. Well kept, clean and tidy and excellent value for money

Really nice few hours spent looking around. Alot smaller than I was expecting but great all the same. Had 2 kids lunch boxes and some other bits from the on site cafe..really good value and nice knowing that all profits go to help the seals and other animal guests.. We stayed for around 3 hours but 2 is about all you would need.

We had a lovely 4 hours with our grandchildren (2 and 5) at the sanctuary. I enjoyed it as much as them. A really good cause too - seeing the new patients looking weak and poorly and those who are due to be released looking lively was a joy. The resident seals (due to their condition) actually seem happy and enjoy meeting visitors. I highly recommend to you if you love animals (whatever your age!!). Debra

Great sanctuary with friendly staff. My boys love it here and I have a lot of family memories visiting here when I was a child. Reasonably priced and plenty to see. You can feed the farm animals for 50p a bag and see the seals get fed at 11:30am. Well worth a visit if your in the area.

Fun place to visit, you can easily spend over an hour even though it's not big. There are a few different animals there, there's a reptile den, aquariums, greenhouse with birds flying around and of course seals. When we visited there was an albino baby seal and if you visit at 3pm (theres one in the morning too, can't remember when) you can witness seals being fed and do tricks. There are also animals like goats and lamas that you can feed. And if you need there's a little cafe where you can get some food and coffee.

Cute seal sanctuary even in February we saw baby seals who had just been rescued ... They also have a small indoor building with fish and another with reptiles. Much better than expected worth a visit. The staff were very friendly and happy to answer any questions

Such a lovely place to visit at the seaside. The rescue seals are adorable but there are other animals to see....penguins, goats, meerkats, bird house, reptile house. And you know the entry fee is going to a good cause. The gift shop is good too

This small but amazing place is a real must have to see in skegness. In February prices were really reasonable and you can also buy goat food for 50p to feed the sheep and goats. The talks they do about the seals and rescued seal pups is great in February the talks are at 11:30am and 3pm. Really sad to know this place does not get any government funding and each seal they recuse and rehabilitate costs them a average of £2,000 and they rely on tickets sales. We definitely will be back 🦭

We arrived here around 11am, quite busy due to the Easter holidays. The lady at reception was very friendly and approachable. It was £27 for 1 adult and 2 children. We got there just as the seals were being fed, with a member of staff giving out information over a mic which was hard to hear. There is a little hut to get hot drinks and ice cream, and a café which serves hot food and lots of seating. We didn't eat in, but it looked nice enough. We walked around to see penguins and sheep (watch out for Henry the sheep, very friendly and liked taking a good chunk out of my coat and bag!) I bought some animal 'feed' which turned out to be just grass! So I was a bit annoyed by that, as it was 50p each. The lady in the gift shop was lovely and helpful though. There were plenty of wash stations after handling the animals. There was a butterfly section, along with a garden of birds. There were alpacas too. A very small aquarium , where my kids said it was probably the smallest in the world! It probably took us around 50 mins to walk around the sanctuary. Some parts were closed off and some things where there was nothing to see. For the price, I personally thought it wasn't worth it. Especially, as we drove over an hour to get there. It's okay if you were passing, or in the area as it is close to the arcades etc. all the money goes to continuing the work for the seals.

We had a great time getting to know more about Seals, Goats and loads more. You must please support these guys as they rescue on average 60 Seals each year which costs around £2,000 per Seal to then return to the sea. It's not Sealife Centre, Ocean world, it's much better

A great little theme park with a good variety of rides for all the family. Brilliant indoor amusements too with some really good rides. All operated by an i- card that you top up as you want, no queueing for rides( weather was a hit hit and miss though so that probably had an impact) a good few hours out and doesn't have to cost a fortune.

Fantastic theme park multiple attractions rides shops cafes etc no long queuing brilluant atmosphere fantastic day out for all the family. Wide range of stalls shops etc something for everyone. Would highly recommend a visit for a great day out!

Fantasyland was very spectacular for only one day , you also have to book the attraction beforehand but it's all good and joyful as well in Skegness , you can also get a blue wristband so it can track the monitors of which place you have been to. And have a map and pen to tick it off the whole day

We have been to fantasy Island a number of times over the years, and it's always interesting to see what changes have been made from one visit to the next. On most recent trip the market seemed a little quiet, but there was far more using the rides and things. If you go at the right time of year etc. they have some shows on which can be good for the little people. In places, particularly outside of main building there can be a bit of rubbish about although not overly surprising considering volume of outside takeaway type places there is in the area. Worth a visit if your in the area on holiday, it's certainly a bit different!!

Came today with the family, you can get a bracelet or a card to pay for your rides. The bracelets are around £20-£30 each and allow you to go on all the rides which if you plan on going on a few it definitely works out cheaper for you but if you can only go on one or two then you can get the card and just put a few quid on it. Plenty of shops and places to eat. Only problem is this place is understandable incredibly busy but other then that it’s an amazing place.

I recently visited Fantasy Island and was impressed by the variety of rides and activities available. The park was clean and well-maintained, and it was always a good experience to walk around the park. Fantasy Island is an amazing place and it's worth a visit. However, I found the park to be quite expensive, both for the individual rides and for the wristbands. Additionally, the queues for the bigger rides were quite long and it took a while to get on them. Overall, Fantasy Island is a great destination for a day trip or vacation, but be prepared for the costs and long queues for the bigger rides.

I went to fantasy island to take the kids out for the day and it was wonderful. There was so many things to do not just outdoors on the rides, go karting, bumper cars etc etc but so many things in doors. There was water slides and rides. The amusement was huge with a great range of games. There was places to eat and drink. Not just for adults but children as well. If you are looking for a family based time this is great. They also have a huge market selling many things. Fantasy island is not something that can be completed in one day but with free entry and pay as you play your can visit as many times as you want. There was plenty of parking and at £8 for 24 hours it was also reasonably priced

Quite expensive for 2 adults and 2 3 year olds but compared to other theme parks catered for similar ages it was good value for money. Lots of rides for the kids to go on and the decoration inside the pyramid was great.

Some great rides, activities like face painting, arcades and even shops here! There are all sorts of rides, including roller coasters for older kids, dodgems and waltzes for mid age and tea cups for the smallest! You can either pay for a wrist band or load up credit on an e-card then use these for the rides and some of your arcade machines. Activities like face painting are separate and can be paid for in cash or by debit card. There are lots of food shops serving burgers, hot dogs and waffles plus a dedicated slush store! I've taken a point off as the staff at the bar that has a Costa machine seemed more interested in finishing early than letting us finish our drinks, but we didn't let their rudeness spoil what was an otherwise enjoyable experience!

Good place to take Children of all ages. Lots more rides and attractions than I expected. 1.4m tall children can go on any ride, 1.2m tall will get on all but 3 rides. Recommend getting a wristband for £27 each and spending the whole day there, you will easily save money. If anyone is only likely to do a few rides get an 'i-card' and put say £10-£20 on it. The click & climb was a long wait in a queue (over an hour) The Guardian wasn't really worth queuing for & I wouldn't do it again. Staff were all very friendly and good with the kids. Parking on-site was easy (in October) and we were only charged £2 for the day even though we expected £6 ...EDIT ... It turns out we should've paid the £6 parking after all. We've had a £60 parking fine. It won't affect my review of Fantasy Island but Smart Parking are a bit of a con. Yes, there may be signage there but when the system reads your number plate on entry you expect it you give you the correct price when you leave. There are alternative car parks off site for £3. I will avoid Smart Parking in future as a matter of principle.

Very disappointed to be honest. Not many rides available to children under 1m (not many rides at all really) and they're insanely priced. It's only slightly more expensive to go to Alton Towers! Market was okay - sold typical market stuff like fake brand clothes, sweets and toys. Ate at somewhere called Ranch, it was about £5 for a burger which was okay, like a truckstop burger. I'm definitely not going to return to the fair/arcade side but might do for the market.

Great family day out with a good mix of rides for ages small to tall. The day pass is worth buying and the photo capture for each ride is linked to your ticket so you can scan the code and view/download your ride photos when you get home (or print them on-site). Plenty of food and drink dotted around, although the staff running the Fantasy Spice booth seemed to prefer turning customers away for trivial excuses rather than service them! (Hence dropping 1 star). There is a very large carpark on-site and if you want a break from the rides, you can wander around the sizable outdoor marker.

We recently visited Fantasy Island, and what a absolutely treat! There was so much to see, all staff were friendly and chatty. Captain Jack's is a treat serving warm drinks with comfy chairs. Unfortunately there are some site rules when using rides, we had tiny shoulder bads and were instructed to just leave them on a chair as there wasn't allowed on even tho the ride was a "kiddies ride" but you need a adult to go on it, so be aware. Market is full of cheap and cheerful items but there are quality nice items too. Toilets were clean and well maintained. No refunds on site cards would be nice to see a charity tapping area for remaining unused funds.

Went for a weeks holiday and booked the fantasy island caravan park, price was excellent we went for the bronze 6 berth and you got 4 wristbands for all the rides we needed 5 so paid an extra £40 but this gives you unlimited rides on most rides. The caravan was nice with only a couple issues which are not the fault of the park but could have been handled better. A couple of seat buttons were pulled off exposing sharp metal that could have cut one of our three children, when I went and told the staff I was told they knew about it but hadn't bothered to sort it before we arrived, I then noticed six screws that had gone through the wall where they had used longer than needed screws to hang the radiator, I was told they would fix this and it would be done when we were out. After going to the theme park we arrived to the seats having been fixed but 1 left for me to fix and all the screws sticking through still. I then had to call security as the reception was now closed, luckily he was really nice and came to look but he had to call to get permission to remove the dangerous screws. When he called they were on speaker phone and I heard the sarcastic comments of the staff, I thought these were inappropriate as it was their incompetence to check the homes for danger properly, and when this is a place for kids this could have had serious consequences slicing themselves open. However these were the only issues. The caravan was nice and big and well laid out beds are really cheap and not nice to sleep on but it's not a major issue for the price you pay. The park itself is excellent there are loads of rides the people and staff are friendly and the market is amazing. Just remember to barter on prices. Food was pretty decent in most places and the kids will have an excellent time here. Would have got 5 stars if the staff at the caravan park had been more attentive. There is a lot to do there and the fireworks show is a nice touch.

Absolutely fantastic! Kids loved it, both me and my husband loved it! Lots of things to do inside and out, even has a market! We visited on a Wednesday when they do a firework display too. I would advise to book in advance. We purchased wristbands for all of us so in the summer holidays it was more pricey (we visited September time last year so was a bit cheaper) but definitely worth the money! Was the best day but also most exhausting 😅

Awesome rides bungee balls lots of people really good designer shop on strip , cheap alcohol family friendly

Halloween fear island - Amazing scare houses were well worth the wait had so much fun here and was absolutely terrified, the actors were incredible and never broke character I highly recommend going here next year for the fear island I know I will definitely be going again.

Thoroughly enjoyed coming to fantasy Island, it's definitely improved over the years and we definitely a well worth trip. I would highly recommend purchasing a wrist band as the rides are pretty expensive without this. The Odyssey was £6 per ride per person and the wristband was £29.99 and this is for all rides.

Nice little pier, but it's a shame the old pier hasn't stood the test of time. The remaining pier does have sooner of the old metalwork running around the bottom of the railings. Even though this is shorter than the original pier there are some lovely views back to the town. At the end, if you look out towards the sea, you can still see some of the foundations to the old pier.

If you have Kids very nice place where to go. For adults is bar 🍻 with music 🎶 Lots ,lots off parking 🅿️ places around . Food , 🍨 bars . Enjoy 😁

Very dog friendly, the bar at the end of the pier even had a dog treat for kaiser. £4.95 for a coffee and a cake £2.50 for jelly and ice-cream. Staff in the Cafe very friendly. I would of given 5 stars however the toilet facilities could do with a bit of an update.

Can't wait for the new owners to extend the pier. Just a shame they are so adept at leaving rubbish out on both sides. Looks awful for such a good company.

During my recent visit to Skegness, I couldn't resist the temptation to explore the iconic Skegness Pier. This historic landmark has been a hub of entertainment for locals and tourists alike for over a century. From classic arcade games to thrilling rides and breathtaking views, Skegness Pier offers a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. As soon as you step foot onto the pier, you're greeted with a lively buzz of excitement. The vibrant colors, the sound of laughter, and the tantalizing aroma of traditional seaside treats create an irresistible allure. The staff members were friendly and helpful, ready to assist with any queries or directions we needed. One of the highlights of the pier is the wide range of thrilling rides on offer. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or prefer a more relaxed experience, Skegness Pier has it all. The roller coasters were exhilarating, providing a rush of adrenaline as they zoomed through loops and twists. For those seeking a more laid-back adventure, there were carousels and gentle rides that offered panoramic views of the sea. The rides were well-maintained, and safety measures were clearly prioritized. Another standout feature of Skegness Pier is the breathtaking views it offers. Walking along the pier, you're treated to stunning vistas of the sandy beaches, the sparkling sea, and the charming coastline. The pier's location provides a perfect spot for capturing memorable photographs or simply immersing yourself in the beauty of nature. Taking a moment to soak in the serene atmosphere was a definite highlight of my visit. In terms of facilities, Skegness Pier doesn't disappoint. Clean restrooms, ample seating areas, and a variety of food and beverage options are available to ensure a comfortable experience for visitors. There are also souvenir shops where you can pick up mementos to commemorate your visit. The only slight downside to my experience was the occasional overcrowding, especially during peak times. While it's understandable that such a popular attraction would draw large crowds, it can make navigating through the pier a bit challenging. However, this didn't significantly dampen my overall enjoyment. In conclusion, Skegness Pier offers an entertaining and nostalgic experience that captures the essence of a traditional seaside getaway. From classic arcade games to thrilling rides and stunning views, there's no shortage of fun-filled activities to indulge in. While the occasional crowds can be a minor inconvenience, the overall atmosphere, friendly staff, and well-maintained facilities make Skegness Pier a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this charming coastal town. Highly recommended Parking: yes, available outside pier and roadside parking also available Toiles: Yes, available at pier

Fantastic pier with so much to do like arcades bowling and soft play only went on the end bit and took pictures of the scenery and the North sea the views were stunning and a tranquil coastline loads of wind turbines

The pier is quite small, but it’s nice to walk on. Loads of restaurants and arcades in the surrounding areas, lovely sandy beach also.

Not for me. The pier was closed. Theme parks not in operation as it's still not the season. However, the town resembles a mini gold coastish set up. Not for my liking as I'm more of a natural history fan. If anyone fancy a busy, casino, coastal atmosmosphere, you can have a miniature experience in Skegness. Only thing I admired was the view from the small Central park. Few decent fish and chips outlets with value for money. Parking is really cheap with £2 for 6 hours.

Been a while since visiting 'Skeggy' and was pleasantly surprised. Sensible priced food vendors, clean with regular bin empties. Enjoyed our day.

Lovely place to sit and watch the ocean. Romantic spot, lovers come to the end of the pier to affix padlocks as a sign of their commitment and love. If you're into that sort of thing.

Nice pier in the midlands of uk , also great outing for family’s or solo nice bar on the pier great music all you need is good weather then it’s perfect . Prices for drinks are not too bad at the bar .

Popped to Skegness for a couple of days away. Skegness Pier was really good, lots of amusements and games for the little man and a nice bar at the end of the pier. All very clean and tidy.

Overnight stay at the premier inn which was next door. Was disappointed that they closed before 6pm on Sunday and wasn't open during the week but it is the off season and apparently only open at weekends on restricted hours at moments. Very good inside though with lots to do.

The weather can make the day but the place helps two deckchairs on the beach for a few hours perfect good seaside visit very busy but get there early

The pier is a lovely place to visit - a nice little walk to the end and you can look down and across. The views are lovely and there are bars and gaming if you feel like a game of 2p pushes. I stopped to have a pint and look out over the water. Well worth a visit

Best lot of arcades in the UK in my opinion. Loads to choose from and packed to the roof with different games, roulette, ball and aim games air hockey, crazy golf etc etc! Great fish n chips and wonderful sandy beaches.

Yeah well it's not great. It's a pier in Skegness. In Spring when I went it was far too windy and showery to enjoy it. It might be nice in the summer but it's nothing special. Much nicer piers and much nicer places in general to go on a UK seaside break.

Certainly bracing when I went (45+mph winds and showers!). Great views along the coastline and the town behind and a nice focal point. Parking right up to the pier if you are lucky.

We had the most amazing time visiting Skegness Aquarium. From start to finish every member of staff we came into contact with made the experience more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend snorkelling with sharks, my 9 year old loved it. We can’t wait to go back and try a diving experience. I even left my swim bag and the aquarium went above and beyond to post it back to us, the manager Kerry also phoned to check it had arrived safely. Thank you.

We visited midweek during term time, I absolutely love going to aquariums so it was so nice that it was quiet and you could see all the fish and other little critters fully and stay as long as you wanted with each of them. Highly recommend this place to visit for an hour or two!

Great for little ones. The dig site in Jurassic Falls is such a good idea. The quiet side room next to the big tank in the aquarium is my favourite place. Really relaxing when its not too busy. I only wish they had more space as its a bit difficult to get around when its busy, especially if you have a pushchair, but it can't be helped. We've been quite a few times in the past 4 years and always enjoy it.

Today myself and my husband did the shark experience at the centre all I can say is absolutely wow absolutely fantastic loved every single minute, staff go above and beyond can't thank Nanny Shark enough for helping me into my wet suit, the two divers we had were also absolutely amazing talked us through everything and made the whole experience stress-less and out us at ease once you've been briefed you go down into the tank with a massive array of fish 🐠🐟🦈 it's a wonderful controlled way to see up close and personal some beautiful fish and experience the whole scuba 🤿 dive, the diver team also keep in touch with you the whole time with hand signals and you have a ear piece so they can also talk to you and advise you can't wait to do it all over again worth every penny it's a must!!

Again, it's a good place to visit when the weather's not too great. It's good for the family and kids, you can get involved with a quiz as you walk around. Plenty to see as well as the fish and sea life you also have dinosaurs! There's a soft play within the cafe so you can spend a fair amount of time entertaining the kids.

Was surprisingly good. Plenty of activities for kids it was a really enjoyable day. The dinosaur Park they had was brilliant. The cafe is reasonably priced, the food was really good. So much for the little ones to do.

Been 2 years in a row on holiday and loved it both times. Lovely little place, not massive but the price reflects that, very good value. Love the interactive sand table and fossil excavation activities for the kids (and secretly for me). Love the aqua theatre, can sit and watch the fish for ages.

A good way to spend the day, lots to do for kids... Watching the baby sharks doing laps of a pretty big pool is quite mesmerising. Loads of variety of fish, all seem well looked after. There's a decent cafe up top with good views of the coast.

For the price it's a fantastic day out! Loads of benches so you can just sit and watch the fish, so peaceful. The Jurassic area is a great addition too, my daughter and partner both loved it. The cafe food is great, and all the staff we spoke to were lovely.

Came here with a friend to do a shark diving experience. I was really impressed with the way the whole thing was run. Done all the briefing online before and got given clear instructions on the day. Was an absolutely amazing experience to be up close with such amazing sharks and fish. The walk around the rest of the aquarium was just as good with lots of information boards and plenty to see. There is a good cafe that has some delicious cakes. All the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable.

This was great, the main feature tank was awesome and there were plenty of spots for the kids to get close and see everything. The aquarium wasn't very big, but it had a small soft play by the cafe and an outside area with dinosaurs. All in all, well worth adding in to your trip

Not a great variety of fish for entrance price, but a nice laid out aquarium. Worth a visit and check website for discounts, signing up to newsletter can reduce cost

The aquarium was quite small but a lovely place to go around alot of times. Definitely recommend the location for children as they have alot of facts in the dinosaur area. The staff are very friendly and even offered us chocolate when we completed the riddles!!

Nice time out with family, conjoined Aquarium and Dinosaur Park. In the aquarium there is an option that you can go under the water in full equipment with a professional instructor. Even children can learn diving. Dinosaurs are very colorful and made with details. Some of them are moving slightly and making sounds. Attraction for children is collecting answers to get letters to earn some price at the entryway.

Popped in as was bad weather on day we visited. Was not expecting a great deal. But we really enjoyed it. Killed 2 hours easily.

Good place to visit with kids. They loved it. A lot of knowledge was shared. And a magic show inside it, was good. My kid loved it. Expect to spend a minimum 3 hours in it. And better to get in early by 10am at least. Take time in doing activities they offer. That was cool and time passing. Jurassic Park was also good and had good time there too.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our visit to the aquarium in Skegness proved to be a delightful escape from the bad weather, as it was one of the few places open. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us warmly, and we were impressed by the well-maintained facility. For a group of four adults and two children, the entry fee of £50+ felt reasonable for the experience offered. Throughout the aquarium, we found ample spaces to pause and observe an array of fish species. The cleanliness of the glass tanks enhanced our viewing pleasure and facilitated easier photography, adding to the overall enjoyment. Halfway through our journey, we encountered a children's show, adding an interactive element to the visit. The opportunity for kids to participate, win sweets, and create balloon animals was a highlight. Additionally, the interactive fish coloring activity, where creations came to life on a screen, was a hit with the youngsters. Although we didn't explore the outdoor dinosaur section due to the rain, it seemed intriguing. Upstairs, we found a café offering reasonably priced food, including a satisfyingly large pizza for £9. The kids' play area provided a welcome break for them to burn off some energy. While we didn't inquire about the prices for snorkeling or diving with sharks, these options added an adventurous touch for those interested. The aquarium's diverse collection of fish, including jellyfish and eels, captivated our attention until the end. Exiting through the gift shop, we appreciated the token of two gold chocolate coins for completing a puzzle, even if the solution seemed a bit ambiguous. While the shop's prices were typical for such attractions, they leaned towards the expensive side. Overall, our experience at the Skegness aquarium was highly enjoyable, offering a mix of educational opportunities and interactive fun for visitors of all ages.

Busy bank holiday weekend at the Aquarium. My partner and I really enjoyed our trip and the variety of aquatic creatures to see. We found it lovely despite being so busy.

This was a fantastic few hours out with the family .The aquarium was absolutely beautiful to see especially the large one where you can have a diving experience .

The kids enjoyed it. There is no parking outside and I had to use nearby car parks. The dinosaur bit is an added bonus the kids loved that bit.

Had an amazing time following the trail at the aquarium. Will definitely undertake the diving experience when next I'm in. Fairly priced as well with a wide variety of sealife.

What a beautiful beach and dunes! No facilities directly near the beach, for this you are better off at Skegness. If you want peace and quiet, then this is perfect. We went on a nice warm bank holiday and there was a handful of people there. Dogs on leads as it's a nature reserve. Very clean.

Been going to this place for 50 years now but have not been since the visitor center and Cafe have been built. It's still a beautiful place to go for a walk and make sure you take your binoculars to catch sight of the basking seals if your are lucky. Very friendly staff at Cafe with lovely coffee and cakes. Parking is reasonable to at £2 for 2 hours , £5 for the day,!

Lovely nature reserve. Dog's must be kept on lead. Easy walk great for all ages. We walked a circular route past the visitors center. You can walk along the beach if you go over the sand dunes.

Fabulous walk and even got a walk on the beach. Lovely photos taken. Even spotted the seals way across the sea. Lovely day out for the whole of family. Concrete walkway most of the way. Did not visit cafe today but have done on previous time and that excellent too. Will definitely come again when in the area.

Absolutely loved the place, so peaceful and with thriving fauna and flora. Gibraltar Point is a dynamic stretch of unspoilt coastline running southwards from the edge of Skegness to the mouth of the Wash. Known for its impressive views and sheer scale and diversity of wildlife, Gibraltar Point is worth visiting in different seasons to fully appreciate its landscape.

Beautiful place to visit. May be more windy than anywhere else but well worth it. Nice walk along the seafront, seen unusual seashells. Bird watching places and many more adventures.

Great place to enjoy the views, observe nature,learn history, and take a nature trail hike

Lovely location, great walks, super empty beaches. Visitors centre is amazing, shop, cafe, lovely view. Cafe is very good but not much use if wet & you have a dog. Could easily allocate an area for well behaved dry dogs & attract more custom on dull wet days.

We cycled to the Visitor's Centre and had some refreshments. We didn't have a walk around the trails, but took some photos from the raised area, to take in some of the ambience. Now we know where it is and how to get to it, we will take the rest of the family for a day out, as it looks really beautiful and interesting.

The reserve is a great place for any bird and wildlife enthusiast. Open spaces, bird hides and viewing points make for a fantastic day. Wild flowers, butterflies damseflies are in plentiful supply. If you love the peace and quiet to gather your thoughts away from the rat race of Skegness then go here, fast. Parking is £5 for the whole day. The new visitor centre and cafe is clean and tidy, food is of good quality and the staff are helpful. You can take a picnic if you wanted to as their are benches dotted around. Just needed a bit more wildlife and bird staff on site, however no complaints here as I will be back hopefully in the Autumn. See you soon Gibraltar Point.

An excellent Nature Reserve to the south of Skegness. Big car parks and reasonably priced parking. Nice visitor centre with good views and facilities. Excellent clean modern toilets. The trails are excellent. Lots of signposting and information all around the reserve with lots of hides and benches. Lots of bird species to spot. We saw several new to us.

Wow what a gem of a place. I've never seen or heard so much wildlife thriving. The place is tranquil. I didn't have time to walk the full 2.5 mile wild life trail, but the little I did was great. I can't wait to come again.

We came back in the summer and had such a lovely day out. So much to see and do for all the family. The tractor ride was fantastic and all the staff were willing to speak with us and interact with my little one. We had lots of close up encounters with the animals and they all seemed well kept with clean living areas. The cafe was lovely and plenty of choice.

Child friendly. Helpful and friendly staff. Able to touch the animals. Good clean facilities. Lovely reasonably priced cafe/restaurant. Indoor and outdoor play areas. Tractor rides. Just wonderful!

Came here with the children at the end of our easter holidays, the children 2 and 4 both absolutely loved it, all the staff were very friendly, there was so much to do and see and the play areas were fantastic.

Amazing for the kids lovely play area not that many animals got tractor ride 9 minute tractor ride bunny rabbits the lady was absolutely brilliant she even done a the Happy Birthday board for my daughter absolutely love it

Fabulous day out. Would also like to thank Janet and Lauren on the reception for their warm welcome and particularly Lauren for going above and beyond to help deal with a difficult situation. Would definitely visit again, I'll be better prepared aswell x

I went 2 days ago to here, amazing place for kids but unfortunately I have found some animal cruelty. There was barbed wire everywhere behind the fences, but the thing is we are meant to be feeding them anyways? The poor animals have cuts all over their heads and cut themselves when going under the barbed wire. They are all fresh cuts. The kids play area gave me children multiple bruises and grazes from how dangerous it is inside and cramped. Lots of the animals look starving, only thing they survive on is grass. Also the goats have tiny enclosures inside, so I thought they must have lots of grass land outside right? But no just a tiny patch smaller then the actual cage inside. Also pig pens are tiny poor things. It’s like the farm depends on the customers to feed them all the time.

Took grandson there and was not disappointed clean well managed animals cared for facilities ideal for disabled adults children alike the staff are a credit to this well run establishment cannot wait to visit again soon. As the play area and cafe a full five stars

Absolutely amazing experience! £36 for 2 adults and 1 child, including NHS discount, for a whole day packed with fun. Spacious parking, free of cost and very welcoming staff. Great outdoor and indoor playing frames. Pony cycle ride and tractor ride all included in the admission pack. Lovely interaction with the animals. Toilets were decent and tidy. There is also a 9-hole golf course which for me took our experience to a next level. No extra charges for the golf course! Food was absolutely fresh and flavorful. Can't fault anything to be honest. Only suggestion would be to keep more balls in the football pitch next to the playing frame. Probably one of the cleanest farm parks I have been to. Can easily spend a whole day here.

A really nice farm with lots of animals a great indoor soft play area, out door play park, pitch fork golf, ride on cars and horses and a tractor ride and more.. Really great day also offered a half price day on the Saturday we were there so was a very nice surprise.. My family had a great day there..

Nice farm plenty for the kids to do when visiting from out of area

We had a lovely day out at Hardys. Despite a previous review concerned over lack of space for the animals and animal cruelty we saw none of this. The animals were all well fed and had plenty of space to run around and graze. The goats in particular enjoyed escaping their pens and walking with the visitors and exploring the park. The tractor ride was fantastic, the food was great and the soft play perfect for my two toddlers. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice place lots to do, some really nice animals that are clearly well looked after. You get first hand experience with the animals, goats walking round with you. Plenty to do and lots of fun for the kids to keep them occupied while there. There's free tractor trailer rides round the farm which the little ones really enjoyed, there's petting sessions for some animals at certain times. Cheap prices, fantastic gift shop and cafes. The indoor and outdoor activities are well looked after too and fun. Can't reccomend it enough, if I could I'd put more stars.
