3. Visit the new Southport Pleasureland –

At Southport Pleasureland there’s a fun mix of rides and amusements set around a park that’s family friendly, clean as a whistle and blooming with hanging baskets. It offers families a mix of big thrill rollercoasters, flumes and waltzers plus rides designed for younger visitors. The park has a fully refurbished indoor amusement and play centre and a brand new outdoor events arena too. Free entry for all means you pay only for the rides you choose – making the family budget go that little bit further

4. Take a boat out on the Marine Lake

At Marine Lake you’ll find a choice of water based activities to keep the whole family entertained. Marine Lake also has pedalos and motor boats for hire as well as offering high speed rides on a power boat.
