“overpriced, tatty and half open”
★☆☆☆☆
written by GloriaGraves on 02/07/2014
Visited here 1st July, half the park was closed, very tatty and needing updated. Gift shops all closed and the animals didn't exactly look the picture of health. Would defo not recommend or re visit. The staff all looked lacklustre and there was no sense of any of them wanting to be there. Food court was a pleasant surprise however, nice tasty pizza

“Not a fun day out for the family”
★☆☆☆☆
written by dmwright02055 on 07/06/2011
We visited the theme park and paid £18 per person. there were 7 paying guest in our party so a total we had 2 3- for 2 tickets so all in all we paid £108. The park is advertised as a brilliant family day out but we struggled to fill 3 hours. The rides are old, many of them didn't work and those that did were a dissapointment. Some also still had the stickers from other theme parks (flamingo land )on them. Health and safety did not seem to be a priority as there were a lot of sharp edges on some of the rides suitable for children. The train around the park is slower than walking and the monorail leaves a lot to be desired. The go kart track only had 2 working karts, the water slide only had 1 working slide. The new ghost train was about as scary as mickey mouse and the matts for the slides were so worn away they were pointless. We took my 2 year old niece to the childrens indoor play area to be met by a dingy, dirty play area which had nails sticking out of some apparatus and very little lighting. We decided not to let her play on the items so there was nothing for her to do all day. The sea lion show was poor, the only tricks the sea lions did were a lot of waving and jumping to hit a ball. This is harly surprising though as the facilities for the animals were no better than the facilities for the humans. I would never go here again, i would not recommend it to anyone. It is very poor value for money.

“Park Health and safety is a little to be desired. My...”
★☆☆☆☆

Park Health and safety is a little to be desired. My wife had her hand trapped in the safety equipment on a ride called the oblitorator. The ride attendant pushed the apparatus in to positon to secure it.
1st aid took ten mins to arrive at the scene "on foot" with nothing but a radio to hand. I told him and the ride attendant that this was very poor, to which the 1st aider and ride attenant replied what do you know mate!!
I ask the 1st aider did the caller over the radio tell you that a woman had her hand trapped in safety apparatus, no he replied I was told that I was needed at the ride. What if my wife fainted and went into convultions, worse still, what if there was a heart attack victim on the park? Put simply they are under resourced and badly trained.
Poor and inadequate safety signage on the ride to warm passengers of the danger, which was A4 sized in the wrong colour and it obscured by the ride barrier as it faced forward but the bars obscured most of the intended warning.
The accident report was left form was left to one side and the first aider said that they would complete it later!! H/S regulations breach.
We had to ask for a refund which they gave very reluctantly and we were kept waiting for 20 minutes for it in the area where entrance pay before entering the park. To top it off we were escorted off the park by security.
In short, if you want a good day out do not go to Pleasure Island Cleethorpes the health and safety is extremely poor. How do I know this? I am a chartered member of IOSH.
For a fun local day out try Fantasy Island Skegness instead...

written by rollercoastermad on 08/07/2006
You have to travel miles from the main beach to get to Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes if you're walking! It was very very cold there too, even this time of year. The people working there were not polite at all, and they seemed to just want to take our money. The kids were bored after 30 minutes and wanted to come home. Not good at all!
