We had an afternoon there and it was enough. The rides at the end ofthe pier is a little confusing... there are 5 or 6 rides and signs about getting tokens. I got £10 worth, but only the helter-skelter and the tea cups were on that system... in the end we gave the other tokens away The soft play area "Magic Island' was very good the the young girl running it today was lovely Worth a visit but an afternoon is plenty
