Coral island is one of my favourite places to visit when in Blackpool, so much too do from the 2 pence machines, to the horse racing & the claw machines, although some machines tend to not work by either getting clogged with 2 pence, the slot being broke or the tickets not being distributed, it is still an amazing place with a great atmosphere! Aswell as the little ride they have inside Aswell which is awesome, it is also rather unfortunate that they removed the “30, 75, 100” tickets from inside the machine that you could win, as they were really the only reason to be excited to play as most other prizes are key rings, alongside last years prizes being WWE mini figure stampers which were quite awesome to win! But in conclusion the place is great for a family day/night out, very cheap and affordable and I couldn’t recommend it more if I tried! (Food is also very affordable and amazing!)

Lovely place to relax and have fun. Clean, colourful, lots of different machines to play on. Staff around to help when needed. A great old school train ride which rides above the arcade room Good restaurants particularly Coral harbour.

I ate at The Buccaneer restaurant in Coral Island. The place buzzed with diners (mostly families) and pirate themed staff working like a well oiled machine. Ordering is slightly different in that you pick a seat, look at the menu and order at the bar. What is surprising, given how busy it is, is just how fast the staff bring the food. Very happy. I ordered a lasagne with chips and garlic bread while my partner ordered gammon and chips. The chips were slightly undercooked which was disappointing but the lasagne was layered, creamy and delicious. The gammon was tender, large and thankfully not over salted. We'd a great time but it wasn't a place for ambience, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but just a note for anyone who needs a quieter environment.

Likely the best arcade on the seafront of Blackpool, with a stunning outside pirate display and pirate theme throughout the building. Inside hosts mainly a lot of new machines including a lot of VR machines which isn’t to my taste to the kids love it as well as a lot of other great modern machines. There’s also the classic 18+ gambling area as well as everything to spend a good few hours there if you wanted to. There’s a credit card system or you can pay with real coins for most of the machines. There’s something for everyone here and you feel the joy as soon as you enter the building to when you leave.

The best arcade I’ve ever been to! This place is absolutely amazing from the decorations both inside and out, everything looks fantastic. It’s definitely the best arcade in Blackpool! One of my favorite parts was the Tom & Jerry air hockey table it was so much fun! I had never seen one like it before. It has special exits where the puck randomly comes out, and suddenly more pucks start appearing, so you have to be super fast. Such a fun and unique experience!
