We visited here when we were on holiday. It is a fantastic place to take your children. We have a 1 and 3 year old and they had the best time. The indoor soft play was fantastic and clean. As it was a hot day there was plenty of things to do while keeping out of the sun. Especially the shaded picnic area which was outside. My toddler loved the go karts and the inflatable obstacle course. Lots to do and see. Would totally recommend coming here!

If you’re a lover of history this beautiful landmark is situated right next door to the Gossip Cafe on the edge of the sea. It’s not a huge place but it’s packed with great views and wonderful stories. A ticket is around £8.00 and the tour lasts for about 30 min. I really enjoyed the whole experience. 😊

Steve took us on the 2 hour mackerel fishing and needles tour as a family! We had an amazing time seeing the coastline to and from the fishing sites. We even saw a jellyfish and the Red Arrows fly over on training! We also saw kayakers reach Scratchell's Bay! Very cool to see the caves and Needles stacks from this perspective. We caught seabass and mackerel but even if we had not caught a thing we would have enjoyed seeing the Island with Black Rock! Steve is super knowledgeable too! I enjoyed learning about the different fishing rod approaches - four hooks for mackerel and single deeper line for seabass. The time went super quickly so you may wanna go longer if you think you will be into it? But if your first time and with kiddos, 2 hours is perfect! Has given me a newfound appreciation for where our fish comes from and makes me want to eat fish sustainably now. We BBQed them the same night and they were the best fish I have ever had. The fish 'meat' is much more tastier and thicker (I guess the fish are stronger from swimming in the tidal ranges?!). Would recommend.

A great 'little' set-up and a real shame if it is closing at the end of October as stated on the website. It's the kind of 'poor weather' attraction that unfortunately is fast disappearing. Our children really enjoyed themselves here finding all the features on their checklists. The entrance fee is very modest in the scheme of things as someone has to pay the electricity bill. This and the nearby reptilarium are well worth a visit.

Wow what a fantastic family experience. I took my two teenagers on this ride and it made their trip! Highly recommend and reasonable price too! Great fun and and amazing views.

Wow what a place well worth a day trip to the old & new Battery's the views for the needles are amazing so much to see & breathe taking. The area has shops and restaurants with plenty to do rides golf etc. car park was excellent value at £6 for the whole day. The ride up & down on the chair lift was a great experience. If you love walking scenery then you will love this place. The Battery is very interesting and a coffee and cake looking out to sea with views of the needles was worth the walk!

I had seen adverts for their August Sky at Night evenings in August and was intrigued. In the event the 14 of us (ages 5-78) had a totally brilliant evening! Thanks to the Planetarium team for an inspirational, hugely informative and fun evening. It really is the Island’s best kept secret. Spread the word, something for everyone!

It's a small place with quite a lot of animals to see. It wasn't easy to find where each one was in its tank, but enjoyable nonetheless. There were lizards, snakes, terrapins, cockroaches and other creatures to see. It's worth coming back to a tank if you can't find anything in it first time. A visit is likely to take 30-45 minutes. It is situated within Fort Victoria and there is a cafe and shop nearby. It is also next to the sea. There's loads of free parking.

Would highly recommend. Very helpful service, allowed us to change our bike selection so that everyone was happy. Well maintained bikes and in a great location. The surrounding area gives easy access to lots of different locations. Great venue to spend a bit of time too, there was a small cafe (not sure if it was open) and a lovely stream running past with beautiful views. We did half a day which was enough time to get to freshwater Bay and the needles.

We dined at ‘Saltys’ just before boarding the ferry today & had the best pizza I think I’ve ever eaten. A great welcome from the guy behind the bar, got us seated, gave us water & the food was quick to come out. Very attentive & friendly staff. The atmosphere was great & the kids loved it. Perfect spot for a bite before heading home. Couldn’t ask for more from a restaurant. We will definitely be returning!

We wanted to see the Needles from the sea and decided the best way was to experience them by taking a boat trip from Yarmouth. After looking at a few boat operators we opted for the Coral Star. We had booked a week in advance and was rewarded by a sunny and calm day for our trip. Leaving Yarmouth harbour the tour took us directly to the Needles via Hurst Casle (a costal artillery fortress) On the way the captain gave a commentary pointing out things of interest. The boat luckily was not too crowded with an option to move around. Not far out of Yarmouth we all noticed a pod of dolphins and the captain kindly stopped the boat so we could watch them jumping and diving in the water. Then we continued off to the Needles, which looks even more majestic by sea going just past the lighthouse and then travelling back to Yarmouth via Alum Bay and other places of interest along the shoreline. Apart from the ferry it's the first time our boys have been on a boat and they loved it!!! The trip was very informative with the captain sharing his knowledge to the local area. There are drinks and snacks available on board. Highly recommend and well worth the money. The extra star was given for the dolphins..

Attractive church in a small churchyard, situated close to the centre of Yarmouth. Construction of the building began in 1614, and it underwent significant updates in the 1830s. Notable features include the stained glass windows, organ and memorial statue to Sir Robert Holmes. The church and yard are nicely maintained, and at the time of my visit, significant repair work was taking place inside the church to preserve it for future generations.

I had an absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and the team was professional and friendly. Being taken up into the sky was an unforgettable adventure—so much fun! The views were breathtaking, and the entire experience was thrilling yet comfortable.

Great base. West bay club use to have recreational and sporting facilities for guests that are now permanently closed. You are just renting the accomodation now. Such a shame as the pool and spa were a family favourite.
