What's on the park

The park's main entertainment venue. Daytime is family — Seaside Squad shows, kids' dance-alongs, that sort of thing. Evenings shift to singers, tribute acts, the occasional comedy night. Big screens for the football too.

Bright, modern bar inside the venue — somewhere to grab a drink before the show or sit out on the terrace looking over the Thames Estuary. Food is served all day.

The pool complex is brand new. There's the Atlantis Falls waterslide, an outdoor heated pool, and the Lost Lagoon splash area for the smaller ones. Good for a rainy day or a sunny one.

A drinks spot next to the activity area. Handy for parents while the kids burn off energy on the karts or climbing wall.

Smaller, more relaxed bar with an outdoor terrace looking over the estuary. Good spot for a quiet drink and the view.

Inside the Yacht Club: bar, sit-down tables and a pool table.

Ice cream stand. The ice cream comes from Bertie's of Stroud — a small Cotswold artisan producer with a row of Great Taste awards. Sea-salted caramel, mint choc chip, and the rest, all hand-made.

Yes — a walk-up Burger King on the park, full menu, Whoppers and all. Handy for a quick lunch between activities, or as a peace offering between the pool and bath time.

Proper fish and chips. The clue's in the name. Easy enough to take back to the deck for tea on a tired evening.

Pizza, delivered to the holiday home via the My Haven app. Useful for the night you can't face cooking.

Sweets, ice cream, waffles, and decent coffee. In the Adventure Village.

Picnic-bench seating outside Seaside Treats. Decent spot for a takeaway coffee while the kids stay in the Adventure Village.

FunWorks arcade — recently refurbished. The usual mix: two-pence pushers, claw grabbers, racing machines.

Two outdoor play areas dotted around the park. Handy spots to wear the kids out before bath time. Free, no booking needed.

The main play area in the Adventure Village, opposite the outdoor stage. The biggest of the play areas on the park.
