Adventure Coast Southport

Adventure Coast Southport, or Southport Pleasureland as some of us still call it, is right in the middle of town. It's got a good mix of stuff, especially if you've got kids to entertain. The Google reviews are pretty solid, 4.1 stars from over 4,000 folks, so most people seem to have a decent time.

You're looking at your classic seaside amusement park. They reckon around 100 rides, plus a go-kart track which is always a laugh, and an indoor play area which is handy if the weather turns (and let's be honest, it probably will). There are restaurants and a bar there too, so you won't go hungry or thirsty.

It's definitely geared towards families, and it's mostly outdoors, so pick a good day if you can. Check out their website (adventurecoastsouthport.co.uk) for opening times as it's not always year-round, especially the outdoor stuff.

Worth knowing: parking in town can be a pain, especially during peak season, so give yourself extra time to find a spot.
