- combat_wombat86Woodley, United Kingdom381 contributionsLovelyWhat an excessively twee and ‘quintessentially English’ morning out. This is where the British go out for the day on their hols - there’s candy floss, waffles and cheap but entertaining rides for the little ones. Arcades full of ‘2p’ machines. Worth stopping by and would recommend! Loved it and so did my toddler. Dogs allowed to hang out too which is a nice touch.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 23 March 2024
- Christopher D2 contributionsGreat StaffMy daughter was a novice on the dodgems. She quickly became adept, and, to my surprise, exhibited some aggression I had never seen before. And out flew her tooth. The young man (swept back hair, middle parting) was amazing. What a gentleman. Found my daughter's tooth in the car. He made my 7 year old very happy. A splendid young man and an inspiration.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 30 March 2024

- ThomasGMCanterbury, United Kingdom1 contributionFantastic family day outDymchurch amusements is fun for all the family! I take my children of varying ages here for a day out and there’s something for everyone in the family! Today we have spent all day here with friends and it didn’t disappoint! Apart from there being a great selection of fun rides to suit all ages, the arcades have just the right selection of games/machines and the food kiosk sells great quality treats and snacks. Dymchurch amusements is well worth a visit, situated right on top the most glorious beach.Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 21 August 2024

Music and tannoy far too loud and inappropriate from the dodgems for a small children’s fair. It was just overwhelming with constant reggae playing driving base that was rattling everything all for small children no more than ten feet in front of it. It drowned out any chance of any nice ambiance of a traditional fair and any chance of talking. Other than that a lovely small funfair with loads to do. Newer rides and covid secure. Had a lovely day. On site food and ice cream was a lovely touch. Just a shame about the music it was a real put off.highly recommend ear protection if you want to go on the dodgems, great if you only like reggae music and someone shouting at you over a tannoy

Good selection of rides and we didn't have to queue long either. Some of the rides like the elephant ride seemed over priced for what it was as you needed 2 tokens per person. The dodgems were very good value for 1 token per person. There was an unfortunate smell of vomit while we were there but I think someone had been sick on one of the rides. The toilets weren't the cleanest either with no soap.

Dymchurch amusements rides were pretty good, but it seemed quite unsafe and depressing there. Firstly, we were going on the twister when someone's child pushed in front of us and all the person running the ride did was shrug his shoulders and had the audacity to hold his hand out as to say gimme the discs, he totally ignored the fact the child pushed in front of us. Furthermore, the staff on the family coaster didn't check if I was in properly, so the first time I went on it, I kept being flung around, and it hurt. I also went on the galleon ride, and it seemed depressing because I was expecting water to be under the boats, and there wasn't... There was more water under the dumbo ride than a pirate ride! Anyways, the rides were pretty fun. Enough to fill my thrill-seeking tooth anyway. Also, the only really friendly staff was on the wave swinger and the ghost train, and it was overpriced, £4 for rides, which weren't really worth it, I wouldn't really recommend this amusement park.

Visited today and had to leave almost immediately - absolutely no social distancing and only saw one person with a mask on.
Some efforts were being made to clean rides, but there were far too many people pushing together (and some very very aggressive when asked to stand back) - I did not feel safe with my toddler and mother so we left.
A shame, as it could be a real credit to the area!

Absolutely love it there. Perfect for children under 12. We have taken my 2 granddaughters a few times now who are 3 and 6 and they love it. You buy tokens for the rides which can work out a little expensive but it's worth it. Plenty places to park too. Would highly recommend

Lovely place to visit , as another reviewer mentioned though the music was not fitting for a children’s fair. Too loud and two different types playing at the same time, it was a real put off that seemed to be more for the employees than the kids. Prices are good with nice clean modern rides. The kids really enjoyed it and will definitely visit again,

Had a fantastic day today with my daughter, great deals on tokens...we brought 26 for £20 to which my daughter got on most of the rides! She enjoyed the ghost train so much, she rode it 3 times!!
Thankyou ever so much to Dave in the arcades who patiently waited for my daughter to chose a prize and thanks to the other staff in the park itself, especially the one who was spinning my daughter on the teacups as she screamed faster!!
Great Day!!

A very sweet, family run amusement park! Tokens are quite expensive, but that is to be expected. Very old fashioned style seaside fun.
The ride operators were friendly, although safety checks were not made on every ride (checking that seatbelts were secure etc). Also, whilst queuing for the family coaster, the supports physically collapsed and riders had to be evacuated.
There were a lot of people admitted into the park at one time, which made it very crowded. There were also very few social distancing markers. If that is something you are concerned about, I would recommend leaving your visit until after Covid 19.
However, the rides were good fun and despite the torrential rain, we had a lovely time here.

We visit the amusements quite regularly , it’s so much fun for all the family . All the staff are very kind and I love that they give random goodies away throughout the day too .
There’s a family coaster, dodgems , ghost train, smaller kids rides and the big twister . The arcades are always full of people having fun too.
Plus it’s a stones throw form a Sandy beach so we can spend the whole there going back to rides as we please.
We will definitely be visiting again!

There is public car park about 100 metres away towards St Mary’s Bay + there is another car park in the town centre. Both public and both pay and display. They get busy so get there early

Hi
It’s a small fair. Ideal for little ones with some rides for older kids. (We did go this year with my 8year old and he had fun).
Ghost train, small roller coaster, twister, dodgems, crooked house etc.
Tokens £20 for 26 tokens. Good value for money....
We often go on the train then go to amusements, then of course on to the beach....lovely day out....;0)
