Wow! Myself and my friend have just got back from a 2 hour beach ride with Jamie and Chrissy who were fantastic and made the whole experience one to remember! We are both experienced riders and it takes a lot to impress me and I was not disappointed! Fantastic gallops across the beach and being able to go into the sea with the horses was just an unforgettable experience! The horses were so well behaved and we swam out up to our waists and even saw a seal! The beach is beautiful and the horses were fun and safe and well looked after, clearly enjoying their jobs! This is definitely the best beach riding experience around and run by a lovely family team who are friendly and make you feel welcome straight away. I can’t wait to come back... it is so worth the 2 hour trip there and back and I will recommend to everyone! Thank you for an unforgettable ride!

Stunning visitor centre overlooking The Wash which has a cafe providing a great range of snacks and great food. There is also an information centre which runs various events throughout the year. Opening hours are restricted during the winter months and you will need to pay for parking.

Overall Ratings

Hardys Animal Farm is a great day out in over 7 acres of Lincolnshire countryside yet just 10 minutes walk from the beach, with loads of things to do and animals for you to meet feed and make friends with. It's a great day out, whatever the weather! You can see pigs being born in our specially glazed breeding unit, feed the goats and many other animals, allowing the children to learn about modern farming in a safe and fun environment. We also have baby Lambs, Goats, Cows and Chicks being born throughout the year. There is plenty of space for the kids to run around in our 3 Adventure Playgrounds catering to all ages, while you relax with a hot drink or a bite to eat. Go on a relaxing Cart Ride around the Farm with Fergie the Tractor and then decamp to Haystacks Indoor Playbarn, there are loads of things to do come rain or shine. The Number 3 Bus stops at the end of the farm road, running every 8-10 minutes from Skegness, Ingoldmells, Butlins & Fantasy Island

This is a wonderful family venue to have fun and relax, situated on the pier this is an indoor venue with lots to do and keep you occupied. There are arcade games here, soft toy grabbing machines, ball pit, slides etc. There are toilets on site should you need them. The toilets are clean but the hand dryers are a bit naff. There is also two very good cafes on site should you require refreshments they are excellent for food and drink choices, the cake selection is wonderful! You can have an all day breakfast to which is delicious. You can easily spent hours here in a safe environment and have great fun, the staff are helpful here to.
