Adventureland

You'll find this old-school amusement arcade right on New Brighton's seafront, where the smell of chips mingles with the electronic bleeps and whirs of classic gaming machines. It's the kind of place that hasn't changed much over the years – and that's exactly why locals keep coming back with their kids in tow. Open only at weekends, Adventureland feels like stepping into a proper British seaside experience. The machines might be showing their age, but there's something brilliantly nostalgic about feeding 2p coins into the penny falls while the kids get overexcited about claw machines. It's not trying to be anything fancy – just honest, unpretentious fun that pairs perfectly with a stroll along the prom afterwards.
