My 7 year daughter and her 9 year old friend were treated to a day out at Southend a few days ago. My wife had visited adventure island a number of times as a child but I never had and being completely honest, for some reason always though Southend and adventure island would be a run down typical English seas side town. I was very very wrong!!! Adventure island was brilliant, so much to do and good value too having purchased tickets online in advance. Parking was simple on the sea front and cost £6.60 for 7 hours. The staff on every ride were so interactive and more like entertainment staff than your usual theme park ride assistants, cracking jokes, having sing songs with the kids and spending time with every guest even during busy times. I really am pleased to say I loved it and we will be back again shortly!!!
