Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach - Great Yarmouth

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had an amazing day at Great Yarmouth Beach – perfect for a fun family outing! The soft sand and lovely sea made it such a relaxing experience. It wasn’t too busy, which was a nice surprise, and the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed some fresh fish and chips by the sea – absolutely delicious and full of flavour! The only downside was the number of seagulls (they really love the chips!), but it didn’t spoil the day. All in all, a fantastic spot for some seaside fun. Highly recommended!

We visited here on a Wednesday evening, for the late opening hours, in late July and arrived at half five, meaning we could take advantage of the late evening wristband pricing (£17 for 5 until 9:30). There are also fun cards at £5 or £10 which offer 5 or 10 ride credits and can be topped up inside the park. However suspect the latter are a false economy if you have more than 2 or 3 rides - especially in the evening, as most main rides are 4 or 5 credits. There was a fair size of queue to the ticket booth but it moved quickly and probably only took 5 to 10 minutes to get to the entrance.

There is a good range of flat rides and four coasters, with all costers being aimed at family-friendly. The wooden roller coaster is the oldest in the UK and has a brake man riding on the train. While not the smoothest or comfiest ride, it is good to ride a bit of history. The remaining three are Family Star, a short spinning wild mouse and two small kiddy coasters. The flat rides are good variety, with spinning and drops and also a gyro swing.

What struck us was that the park was relatively quiet for school holiday season and queues were short. The ride throughput would be increased further if the very slow wristband scanning was not performed - not really sure why this is needed as takes a got 10 seconds to read each one, based on our experience.

Food offerings are OK - there is a large hot food stall that does hotdogs (not so good), burgers (better) and loaded fries (decent) amongst other offerings.

All in all, worth a visit even in peak summer as really never felt busy and plenty of ride opportunities.

A Fantastic Day Out at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach!

We had an amazing time at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach! There’s a perfect mix of classic rides, family-friendly attractions, and thrill-seeking roller coasters. The historic wooden roller coaster is an absolute must-try – a true blast from the past!

The park was clean, well-organised, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the day. Entry with the wristband is great value for money, especially if you’re planning to go on lots of rides.

It’s also right by the beach, so we could enjoy the rides and then relax with some fish and chips on the seafront. Plenty of food options, clean toilets, and seating areas made it comfortable for families.

Whether you’re visiting with kids, friends, or as a couple, it’s a great spot for some good old-fashioned fun. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be back next summer!

My new favourite Amusement Park not in Staffordshire or Lancashire!
No ride queues and I went on a Saturday in summer! Granted i was with the group which got an extra 2 hours, but still...

Came today. we paid for a card on entry. Easy to use, and you can top up/check balance in lots of places in the park. Most rides are for young kids, nothing too extreme. The wooden roller coaster and monorail were good. Staff seemed friendly, especially the lady at the entrance. Excellent customer service 👍

Me and my family always go to Great Yarmouth pleasure beach every year. Our most recent visits were last Wednesday and last Saturday. Great selection of rides love the rollercoaster managed to get on it 4 times all together. Queues limited managed to get on everything we wanted some more than once. My oldest daughter loves the monorail and dumbos. I got stuck on the twister as the bars wouldn’t open when the ride stopped but that was sorted quickly by the maintenance team. Staff are friendly. It’s good that you can get a £5 fun card to enter as my mum can’t go on rides would like to see other parks do this instead of having to pay full price. The fun cards are great and the wristbands are good vaule at £23. We will be coming back again. 🙂

Visited this place last weekend and it was very good. The rides were pretty much a walk on every time and although they are a bit expensive they are very good. I also got a silly creature from the arcade and named him Simon.
