As you have to pay to get in AND pay for the rides i`d say not............There are a few small rides in Coral Island that will suit kiddies under for and they are only £1 a go...............

will go the same way as Pleasureland at southport given time.

I agree re coral island, there are tea cups, a car track pirate boat monorail and a ghost train. Siobhan enjoys all of them and she is 5. across teh road you can also have a donkey ride on teh beach (£2.50 IIRC) Much cheaper than the pleasure beach and just as enjoyable for them at that age

We passed through there yesterday, it was like a place where fairground rides go to die..............

Cleveleys have put the kids rides back, much quieter, all the rides are suitable, and no drunks, there are a few coffin dodgers though, maybe this is why it is known as gods waiting room, Lol.

South and central piers have superb rides and things going on for families these days.
My son is a childrens entertainer down in the central pier family bar and they been getting full houses every weekend for last few weeks. Theres also rides and it works out a lot cheaper than BPB.
