Adventure Island, Southend-on-Sea

For my cousin's 10th birthday last weekend, she decided she wanted all the family to take a trip to Adventure Island which is on the seafront in Southend, in South-East England. I'd been there last year but only went on a couple of rides and, even a year later, I didn't remember it being so ... Read review

Full of family fun

Advantages: Free admission, no queues, fun for whole family
Disadvantages: A little pricey with no offers, too many rides can make you feel sick!

...to take a trip to Adventure Island which is on the seafront in Southend, in South-East England. I'd been there last year but only went on a couple of rides and, even a year later, I didn't remember it being so big and having so many rides.

The park isn't very big but there are so many rides crammed into it. It is a mixture of both theme park and fun fair containing rides and amusements from both. Although the place was just as busy ...

~ Big Adventure rides ~

Archelon - named after a giant turtle, the Archelon is made up of lots of individual swings which take you up and spin you round high in the air. These have always been one of my favourite rides and this one's even better as it goes higher and faster.

Dragon's Claw - a circular ride where all the riders face each other inwards which throws you upside down, sideways and all over the ... more

Take a trip to Sunny Southend! (Adventure Island)

Advantages: Free admission, no long queues, fun, good rides
Disadvantages: Not massive and no Alton Towers

==Adventure Island== Adventure Island is a theme park on Southend seafront and is next to the world famous pier which is the longest pleasure pier in the world. Adventure Island used to be called Peter Pans and is the biggest free admission park in Britain. This is really good and means that if you don`t want to go on the rides you don`t have to pay a rip-off fee like £30 if you don`t want to go on the rides. If you want to go on the rides you buy ...
...are expensive. Adventure Island is no Alton Towers but is still a great day out! The wristbands let you use the rides as much as you want all day. The wristbands vary and some let you go on more rides than others. Mini bands cost £10 off peak and £10 peak and are slightly cheaper online. These bands are for children smaller than a metre. Junior bands cost £12 off peak and £15 peak and are cheaper online. These bands are for children between 1 and ...

An Island Adventure For All The Family

Advantages: Free entry
Disadvantages: limited supply of rides

...has been renamed Peter Pans Adventure Island or simply Adventure Island. A Little History: Adventure Island started out life in the 1920s as public gardens situated on reclaimed land. Over the years a number of childrens rides were added and the area soon became known as Peter Pan's Playground. More recently (in 1995) the park has expanded even more, so now it is not only situated on the west side of the pier (which just happens to be the longest ...

Review of Adventure Island, Southend-on-Sea

Three cheers for Adventure Island

Advantages: Fun for all, a good day out, free admission
Disadvantages: Wristband a little pricey, not like the big theme parks

...to Southend-on-Sea so have visited Adventure Island a fair few times. Adventure Island (formerly Peter Pans Playground) is situated on Southend sea front. You do not have to pay a fee to enter Adventure Island but you do have to pay for all the rides and attractions. This is a really good idea, although you can get some riff raff that hang around inside because they haven't got anything better to do! You can purchase wristbands which enable you to ...
...online at the Adventure Island website you get them cheaper. The prices are as follows: Mini bands (for children under 1 metre tall) - £7.00 off peak and £10.00 peak - which run through the summer holidays. Online price: £6.50 off peak and £8.50 peak. Junior bands (between 1 - 1.2 metres) - £12.00 off peak and £15 peak - which run through the summer holidays. Online price: £10 off peak and £12 peak.
