shane was very friendly and welcoming. went on the ride that he was on a few times and from the first to the last he made us feel very welcome. always had a smile on his face and made the first holiday we had fun and memorable. have recommended to friends while we have been there.
So sad to see? All the rides gone ? Especially Joe abd wife at the 5 pound wristband fantasy island, I am 59 now with a grandchild, and 4 grown up kids now ! And I have been taking my family since the first generation? In my children, my grandson got the last go on the fair ground! Thanks to a super couple Joe & wonderful wife ? Which run the fairground? We're such loving and caring owners ever? Who have had the pleasure of seeing 👀 them over the past 20 years? Such a shame 🫠 😞
Lovely little amusement park, staff are always so nice and kids have a great time in the few rides that are now big enough for their age. I hope once the improvements are done they add some other rides for older kids as we live coming to canvey beach and crabbing and finish off with some rides.
During my visit to Fantasy Island in Canvey Island, I was delighted to find that the rides were family-friendly and catered to younger children. It was wonderful to see the little ones having a great time and enjoying the attractions designed just for them. From the moment I stepped inside, I was engulfed in a vibrant and lively atmosphere. One of the standout aspects of Fantasy Island is the incredible staff. The friendly and welcoming demeanor of the employees truly enhanced the overall experience. Their smiles and helpfulness made me feel valued as a visitor, and their willingness to assist with any questions or concerns added a personal touch to my day at the park. The recently added Crazy Golf was an absolute blast! It seemed to be a huge hit, attracting a great number of people. The course was well-designed and provided a fun and challenging experience for players of all ages. However, I couldn't help but notice that the other rides in the park appeared rundown, tired, and in need of some attention. The paint was faded, and the structures seemed rusty. It would greatly improve the overall atmosphere if a fresh coat of vibrant colors was applied to rejuvenate the rides and surrounding areas. A little maintenance and refurbishment would go a long way in enhancing the overall experience for visitors. One aspect that caught my attention was the unique design of the bins in the park. They were shaped like ducks, adding a playful touch to the surroundings. I also appreciated the availability of picnic tables, which provided a convenient spot for families and friends to enjoy a meal or take a break. For those in need of restroom facilities, public toilets, including a RadarKey-enabled disabled toilet, were conveniently located at the Labworth Car Park. This accessibility feature ensures that everyone can enjoy their visit to Fantasy Island comfortably. In terms of parking, I found that there were large car parks available on both sides of Fantasy Island. The Labworth Car Park and Eastern Esplanade Car Park provided ample space for visitors, making it convenient to access the park without worrying about finding parking. Additionally, there were various food options nearby. Whether you were looking for a quick snack, a sit-down meal at a cafe; or restaurant, or a sweet treat like hot donuts or ice cream, there were kiosks and establishments in close proximity to cater to different cravings. To my surprise, I discovered that right next to Fantasy Island, there is another theme park called Leisure Island Fun Park. It was intriguing to learn that both parks are operated by different providers, offering visitors even more options for entertainment. Overall, while the family-friendly rides and the newly added Crazy Golf were enjoyable, it was apparent that some of the other attractions in Fantasy Island were in need of refurbishment. The park's unique duck-shaped bins, availability of picnic tables, and convenient parking options were appreciated. With some maintenance and revitalisation efforts, Fantasy Island has the potential to create an even more vibrant and exciting atmosphere for visitors to enjoy.
£7 wristband for some rides, £10 for all rides. You can ride all day, though I don't think you would stay all day. More suited for children under about 9 years. Lack of staff, so you have to wait to get on some rides.
