- Coastal349363167501 contributionI visited Brighton with my school on september 26th . and we were there for a couple hours.
After an hour bus rit we arrived at Brighton. We needed to do some online exercises in the city such as taking a picture with the upside down house, the kiss wall and many more. The upside down house was very entertaining to look at and me and my friends took a funny picture in front of the house.
We lunched at a taco-restaurant. I ordered a taco with guacamole. It was delicious and the wait time was not that long so for me the restaurant was approved!
Me and my friends walked trough the city and visited a mall, we loved strolling around and looking at shop windows.
The last and maybe the most fun thing we visited was The Palace pier commonly known as 'Brighton pier'. On the pier there are a bunch of attractions. Its like a little amusement park. The Brighton pier is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is a must visit when your in Brighton.
I really enjoyed my time in this wonderful city. If you like the beach, but also want to experience the city life, Brighton is definitely something for you. When in the UK Brighton is a must visit city!Written 12 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - AnselmColomGrays Thurrock, UK3,192 contributionsNo longer 5 stars due to £1 entry fee. Happy to pay it but really cannot see what difference it makes. Usual mix of arcade, over priced donuts and other sweet snacks, a quite pricey pleasure part for kids at the end and some great views of the sea and sea front. Mind the seagulls as they will steal your food. Gets super busy with teens in the evening. They do make an effort but it won’t be for everyone. I enjoyed my £3 of 2p slots. May have been £4 but £1 to get inWritten 26 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gemma BGreat Wyrley, UK37 contributionsWhilst we were in Brighton we thought why not! Great views, staff were nice and friendly. Only gripe was a few of the panes of glass in the pod had cracks in them which had me a little worried. Nice to have a couch to sit on to enjoy the journey into the sky. Drinks are pricey as you'd expect but snack prices were ok.Written 11 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- zuvBucharest, Romania37,779 contributionsA kind of bazaar. An area full of life, full of color. There are a lot of small shops that sell all kinds of products, generally artisanal or small series. Antiques, vintage products and much more. Buildings full of graffiti, cafes, small bars and indescribable crowds. An area with a good vibe.Written 19 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AnnieOlomouc, Czech Republic16 contributionsDefenetely a great experience! I love aquariums and such, and Sea life is always a safe choice. I must say that i have been to better aquariums tho. Loved this, but didn't suprise me. As said alwwys a safe choice :)Written 8 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stay329819887431 contributionI never imagined that we might get glared at by a marsupial for not cuddling it hard enough.
Our guide did his best to answer even our most unusual questions, which included: What is their glide ratio? What percentage of their volume is eyeball? What could a sugar glider beat in a fight?
Such a lot of work and care goes into keeping these creatures happy and healthy, it was eye-opening to learn about their needs and the neglect they can receive when kept as pets.
Before the experience I knew very little about sugar gliders, I walked away with a wealth of facts and a newfound appreciation for these adorable and delicate animals.Written 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The views are spectacular but also a fantastic place to have a walk and blow the cobwebs awayWritten 29 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sa1gonLondon, UK1,100 contributionsWe had visited the Brighton Stadium before, and the American Express Lounge, but it has been over 8 months ago and we knew they had new management.
We were a bit concerned that things would have changed, but the team were excellent and, Maisie in particular, provided a five star service.
The staff here are really good and disabed friendly, nothing was too much trouble.Written 2 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Within Brighton there are different paths some on the same level as the beach and some are a bit higher.
The ones next to the seafront are well maintained however when I visited in January 2024 one of the paths higher up the cliff was closed.
You get some lovely views of the beach and the surrounding area including the piers and the marina.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - janetbottFaversham, UK11 contributionsThe seafront towards the marina is full of things to do - swimming, playground areas and a little train to take you to the pier with its traditional rides. Great day out.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
