Took my soon and nephew here yesterday, both under the age of 5. It cost £25 in total for two wrist bands for 3 hours of unlimited rides and time in the soft play which is really reasonable considering how many times they went on the rides and how long they had in the soft play. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly considering they were incredibly short staffed, they handled the day really well. Mark was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble for the kids. Considering it was a busy summer holiday and there were staff shortages I can’t fault the staff at all, I can only image how stressful the day was for them and they didn’t show it at all.

I can't comment on the rides as it was closed when I visited but walking through you get a sense of lots of screaming and laughter with rides for all ages. Loads of eateries and ice cream scattered around the complex and lots of parking at £1 an hour in September. With the beach right there too easy choice to entertain the kids.

We had a good time here today, but was some disappointment with my children. They are aged 7-12 and had a limited number of rides each because the rides were height limited, so the older ones were too tall for some and the youngest was too small for others! He was gutted that he's just got tall enough to drive bumper cars elsewhere, but here the minimum height was 10cm more than everywhere else, so he couldn't do it.
Price is reasonable, we paid £16 each for three hours unlimited, but they only went on a few rides each due to the height restrictions and just repeated those.
I was also a bit disappointed that I had paid £16 each for three children and then still had to pay extra to park too. I get that there's parking for the beach too, but it would be nice if there was some concession for those paying in the funfair

We visited on a wet Sunday and had a great time! Paid the £15.99 for the three hour wristband so my eight year old could just go on whichever ride she fancied! Although she spent most of her time in the soft play centre which she said was amazing! It was indoors and had seats so I could sit down out of the rain whilst she had fun. She rode the teacups plenty of times and the carousel. I think the tokens equate to roughly £1 per token so she definitely got the money’s worth for the £15.99 wristband!
Lots of machines in the arcades to play on (not included in the wristband). There was a restaurant there, and also a cafe and gift shop just next to the car park. So plenty of things to buy.
The funfair was a decent size, a fair amount of rides, all in good condition and everything looked clean and well working. My little girl can’t wait to come back next year.
We walked from a local caravan site we were staying on so I can’t comment on the car park.

This used to be Fantasy island. It's so much better now and amusement centre fully refurbished. Kids had fun on the rides, soft play and arcades. Average price for rides at the seaside.

We bought 25 tokens for £20 and lasted ages as rides were 1 or 2 tokens. Dodgems were 3 tokens per dodgem. Our little 3 year old was well amused by it all, no queues rides seemed to last for ages. Well worth it.

I used to come here nearly every weekend as a child/teenager, but this time I took my daughter - aged 12. My friend also met us there with her little boy - aged 4. It has improved so much since I visited years ago, so many more rides, soft play, cafe/eating area, more games and machines in the arcade area. Lots of rides available for all ages for example, flying elephants, trampolines, mini drop tower, bumper cars and loads more! You can buy individual tokens for rides or pay £15.99 for a wristband which gives you 3 hours unlimited goes on whatever you like - minus the ghost train 😁
The staff there are wonderful and friendly. My daughter and my friend's son had a brilliant few hours and it was a fun day out.
In our group that we went with 1 was in a motorised disability scooter and another in a normal wheelchair and there was plenty of room to manoeuvre around, it's a very flat area. Will make sure to come back when I'm next in Weymouth 🙌🏼
