THE school holidays are three weeks away – and your kids will be demanding that to amuse them every day for six solid weeks.
For them and older teens, an afternoon at Southport Pleasureland is hard to beat.
Free to get in, pay only for the rides you choose, visit the food and drink outlets – or bring your own picnic – the park is a great family day out.
With plenty of new rides for the 2013 season, for little ones and older thrill-seekers, the park is brimming with energy and colour.
If you’ve got enough nerve, we recommend trying the new OMG! ride, it’s big and challenging and – if you can keep your eyes open – will give you a great view of the park - and the sky.
Check out the website for opening times and more info.
To get your summer off to a flying start, how about entering our competition to win a family VIP ticket for a family of four to ride free for an afternoon at the park. Apparently that's worth up to £400 if you really get organised and hammer it.
