“Pier preasure!”

Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

Be prepared to get rid of a lot of cash without any thing to show for it. Great fun for the kids on a wet day, you can get a good variety of food and drink there but i though it was a little over priced but if it's your thing go for it, it's still worth a visit.

“Just a glorified amusement arcade”

Reviewed 21 May 2012

Very noisy and busy. If you go upstairs you have to make you way all the way around as the only stairs are on the opposite side to the escalator to go up. Not enough lifts, had to wait for ages.
