I come here with my friend often, everytime we come in one single employee stands out to us. a very tall young guy every time we come in, if we walk past him or he walks past us we are hit with a strong foul smell. Clearly doesnt know personal hygiene. Also, not once have i ever seen him work, he sits at the desk all day, not lifting a finger, just sat on his phone letting everyone else do all the work. I honestly dont see how hes still employed. He takes off 2/5 stars.

My freind went to this arcade and got 10 squishys and lots of prizes and spent £30! I went the next day to see it was extremely crowded and people hogging the 2p machines! I spent £30 in this arcade and got a bag of skittles and a small pot of gooey slime the size of my pinky finger! It wasn’t even slime it was wet slop!

I love this place. 2p machines are great fun and I also won a Seagull family. Steve, Steph, little Steve and little Steph. Brings out the inner child in you and I also pass on the yellow tickets to young kids to make their day too.

Small in comparison to other sea side amusements, but still has some good games such as mario kart. You can win tokens for prizes and there’s an over 18s gambling area, so it will fit the needs for all the family. Some of the prizes are pretty cool sailor/tattoo related which is nice to see.
