The 22 best things to do with kids in Worthing

What a beautiful well preserved Victorian pier. Well worth a walk along and to view the lovely art work. We walked on their when the sun began to go down - the sun shone through the art.

The pier is delightful, full of charm & nostalgia. I'm not sure if it mixes into the modern-day equation? Victorians used to " take in the air" in seaside resorts with piers. For me it's beautiful.

Very agreeable place for breakfast, not been later in the day, but the the breakfast set up is good, fast and tasty. Took my parents and sister, friendly staff, cool view out the windows (you're at the end of the pier) and free parking on a Sunday. Nothing super special but worth the trip

We were staying in Worthing for a few days in July and this was walking distance from our house rental. It’s a beautiful pier with restaurants and art decorations. We lucked out that was a beautiful clear day and we had a glimpse of the sunset.

Great fun in the arcade, some good 2p machines and ticket machines. Massive shout out to staff member Lewis, he was brilliant, gave us great advice and help with the ticket gifts.

Nice and clean beach with less crowded than other Beach 🏖️, it got some sand on some part of the beach. We will get lot of free parking spaces, and good restaurants near by. Overall highly recommended for a day our or a weekend relaxation.

Nice sunny day to visit worthing pier . Didn't know you can go fishing off the pier , had lunch at the restaurant at the pier end . Nice food worth a visit

Beautiful gardens. Free parking (must be under 2.1m as there's a barrier. We went on a busy bank holiday and whilst we had to park in the overflow car park there was plenty of room still. Lovely walk around the gardens, took us around 1-2 hours with adult children including stopping for a short sit down. There's a pond there, quite shallow but watch young children. It has an enormous fish in it which even my adult kids loved spotting and in May loads of tadpoles which younger kids would enjoy spotting. There are plenty of shaded as well as open spots to walk around and what seems to be a small visitor centre at the start (it wasn't open when we went so can't comment on it). Not somewhere to spend the day but certainly somewhere to stop for a short walk if you have time. The toilets are not pleasant and it could have done with a map of the place at the start so you didn't miss any of it and I understand why they don't want dogs but it's also frustrating when there is a wide open hill next door to walk your dog but you can't then take them into the gardens. All in all however definitely worth stopping off. There's also no right turn into there so you have to do to the roundabout and back to turn into it if heading from east to west.

What a find , free parking , free entry to this stunning little oasis of a garden. Really worth a visit , hope to go another day when plants are for sale . Great for a quiet picnic lots of benches and accessible too . No dogs .

Lovely gardens. So much shade which is cool to stop and rest under. All the trees are labelled so you can learn as you go around. Toilets are available at the start of the gardens but there is also a cafe and pub.

Amazing place. 100% worth visiting, you can see beautiful plants and chill out. Plenty of space n benches. Perfect place to relax 😊

A beautiful place. Recommended to me by a dendrologist I know. This place was set up by a gentleman and his wife who created a garden on chalk!!! Not very large, but there is a nursery nearby for coffee and Highdown Hill which can be walked from Highdown Gardens car park. Has a very gradual incline so is quite easy. Very popular with dog walkers. We sat at the top on a beautiful, hot, sunny late afternoon in June and saw skylarks 😊 hovering above

Really worth a visit. The gardens are magical and there are trees covered in silk and silk worms. Fascinating to see. It is such a peaceful and wonderful place.

Beautiful Garden! Highly recommended for a family walk or picnic. Peaceful, clean with loads of different trees and flowers. There are a lot of spots to sit down and relax.

This is a really charming multi level museum / art gallery for those who like history, design, contemporary art, photography and sculptures. It's extremely family friendly with children's areas, educational activities and exhibits with fashion & costumes, old artefacts and various local and household items throughout time. If you're The best part is it's spacious, quiet, and FREE to enter. If you're looking for an activity to do on a budget, it's worth supporting this local gem. Each room has a different theme with large open plan spacing, even on a weekend you feel like you're in you're own little art world. There's a beautiful gift shop in the reception / entry with small items, books, children's gifts and small pieces from local artists and creators that are perfect for giving as a present for someone special or treating yourself. The cards are a highlight, with so many designs for every occasion!

Lots to see and covers a large range of different parts of history. Nice tidy and well presented rooms and displays. The gift shop also has nice cute gifts such as gemstones (shown in images) The small garden area is peaceful and looks stunning in the summer.

Very interesting, particularly the areas of local interest and archaeology. I went with my granddaughter and we both really loved the Trevor Scobie exhibition and hope to meet him on Saturday 20th July. For anybody wanting to know more about the West Sussex area and what's on, Worthing Museum is a great place to start. Just wish I'd visited years ago. It's quite eclectic and next time I would like to concentrate more on the clothes and fabrics. You can simply pop in and spend a short time or take longer, it really doesn't matter and is a great way to introduce young people to a museum.

Such a beautiful gallery - small but a really nice space and the two exhibitions I've been to were well curated. The museum is also very interesting and a great size - not so big you feel overwhelmed, but big enough to make it worth the visit. Free entry but they take donations.

Wonderful building with a great mix of exhibits and art. If you are interested in early Britain, then is definitely for you. Ideal for families. Easy access. Free.

This is an excellent local museum. There is an archaeological section with info on the geology of the area as well as artefacts. Fashion is the speciality of the museum, with many outfits that are hundreds of years old as well as some modern replicas made from paper. When we visited there was an exhibition of work from "invisible people" that was very moving. Taking the Japanese idea of kintsugi, when items are repaired visibly, so that the broken parts become beautiful, people reflect on their broken lives in works of art. This is a well-curated museum which good exhibitions that interact with the local community.

How lucky are we to have this incredible museum on our doorstep and free entry. Unfortunately the costume gallery was having a change over but they had incredibly moving exhibitions on autism and homelessness. Well worth a visit

Beautiful spot, nice walk up the Ring with an outlook on Portsmouth and the offshore wind farm, plus the surrounding countryside. I thought the iron age history could be better documented as there was no info at the site. Perhaps locals don't want the site over visited. Narrow single-lane access with hedge rows so watch the scrapes on your car. Parking is tight if busy.

Take great care on car park deep holes or park in village and walk up hill. Steep climb to the top but beautiful views when you get there. Not much else to see only chalk path and iron age mounds . No facilities.

We were staying in Worthing for a few days and found this place close by for hiking. We walked up the hill which had panoramic views of the pasture and Worthing. There were sheeps grazing in the pasture. It is worth visiting and hiking the area.

Lovely walks along the ring at different levels. Views to the sea and to the downs. Nice circulars from Findon with good coffee available with a minor detour by the A24.

Nice place with easy parking and good views. Ideal for a picnic or casual walk.

Free parking, bit of a hike to the top, but the views more than make up for it! So beautiful. Few fact " cards" scattered around. Beautiful site

Superb views. Walking to the top yesterday I saw the Isle of Wight, Seven Sisters and Chanctonbury Ring looking in various directions. As well as the ponies plenty of other wildlife to see. I saw a nightingale yesterday and often you see birds of prey in the air very near Cissbury Ring

Lovely sunny day to share with Alan. The smell of the seaweed, the sound of the waves. We had a delicious meal at the Perch on the pier. It was relaxing. Great to go to a place which is disable and wheelchair friendly.

It’s been 30 years since I last visited Worthing beach, have to say it’s 30 times better than 30 years ago. I remember it struggling and quite run down, bit it’s now fairly vibrant and looking really clean and definitely a beach worth visiting definitely an upgrade on Bognor and a lot cleaner than Brighton. Also plenty to do as you have the pier and all the Victorian architecture that’s goes with this period definitely a thumbs up. Parking fairly cheap as well, either £7 for 5 hrs or £13 for the day

Nice seaside experience in Worthing. Stoney beach, nice pier. Great place to walk.

Worthing Beach is one of those places that balances natural beauty with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The long stretch of shingle and sand has an open, uncluttered feel, giving you wide views of the horizon where the sea seems to melt into the sky. On clear days, the water sparkles with a soft, silvery light, and when the tide is out, you can walk far out across smooth, rippled sand. The promenade adds to the charm—lined with cafés, gardens, and gentle activity—yet it never feels overwhelming or crowded. Sunsets at Worthing Beach are particularly striking, painting the coastline in warm golds and pinks, creating a serene and almost meditative scene. It’s not dramatic like some cliff-lined coasts, but that’s part of its beauty: it’s peaceful, understated, and easy to lose yourself in, whether you’re strolling, sitting with a book, or just listening to the waves.

It's the sea and its air let's you know. The old buildings were beautiful to take in and admire. However they do need some loving and up keep. It's was delightful to see so many fisherman on the peer enjoying the sun while fishing.

Beautiful, I can see that during the day it can be very busy. However, I am basing this review on the fact that we arrived at the beach at 9pm, and for that reason it was gorgeous. At that time of night, it was nice and peaceful, and being that it's summer it was still light. The view was lovely! It is a stone beach like Brighton, but it's not as bad, and a car park near the seafront is free after 6pm. I would highly recommend visiting if your not far, and visit late evening.

Worthing Beach is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a relaxed day out by the sea. It’s less commercialized than some other beaches along the Sussex coast, making it ideal for families, couples, and anyone looking to enjoy the sea without the hustle and bustle of busier tourist spots. Whether you’re strolling along the promenade, enjoying water sports, or simply soaking up the sun, Worthing offers a quintessential English seaside experience. Parking just £2.80 for full day

Came recently for Robin hood, friendly staff. Good seating. Just be cautious choosing much further out from main middle block of seating as stage is deep, so view is restricted.

A great place to attend performances and shows. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful. There is also an excellent ice cream shop right next to the theatre. However, the men’s toilets are horrible, they smell like a medieval dungeon!!!

Seating is slightly tiered. Toilets in theatre have steep steps so use ones at the bar entrance. Side door entry for bar. Serves hot & cold drinks, snacks( festive hot choc & mince pies) with alt/vegan milks. All staff helpful and happy. I'd go to this venue again..

staff were very helpful but no air-conditioning in main theatre which made it hot and uncomfortable seating excellent with plenty of legroom bar staff were very efficient and friendly maybe they could invest in some fresh air blowers

Beautiful building in a great location. Love all the original features.

Wouldn't ever return here when there is others theatres to choose from. I was actually shocked with how old and horrible the seats are! See my pictures. This place needs ripping out and some money spent on it quick! Show was good but my goodness everything this is shocking. Not tiered either. Leg room is tight and seats close with them all picked and falling apart. Is the sound system old too? The show was on the quiet side. Wack the volume up! Worth noting the staff were pleasant.

Recently saw 'Flawless' dance troupe here, couple of small points...the rows of seats are incredibly close to each other so when you try to make your way to your seat past people who are already seated it's a real tight squeeze! Plus it's a little dated but otherwise the staff were friendly & helpful, drinks at the bar are reasonably priced, the theatre was comfortable (although I got a little numb from the seat, but that might've just been me as my sister didn't have an issue) and the sound system was great. Definitely worth a visit, always a good variety of shows here.

Louisa on the upstairs front desk of the gym is extremely officious and authoritarian and makes it very clear that she is the boss, considering this is a tax payer funded facility and the members are paying her wages, I hope her attitude will change in the future! The light and space itself is great, although some of the facilities could be maintained better.

Went with two kids on an inflate session day, extremely crowded in both pools. Multiple people doing down the slide at once in incorrect positions and lifeguards spoke to them 1/5 of the time. Lifeguards in the inflatable section told off most of the kids (some of them not even in the wrong) but overall good experience for what it was worth but would go to larger splash parks in the future.

An excellent leisure centre. Choose your staff member carefully and you will get both freindly and professional service. Some of the Reception staff and trainers make it a joy to be there. Sadly, the equipment and staffing levels are showing signs of inevitable financial cutbacks - not the fault of the staff of course. SDL's investors might want to think of this when they receive their next dividend. However, if you are disabled and dependent on the lift, - beware. It frequently breaks down and takes weeks to repair. A management statement of outrage with the maintenance company would go a long way. Quibbles aside, Splashpoint enriches Worthing lives.

I went there today 11.6.25,a lovely blonde girl helped me about adding my licence no for 2 hours free parking. then went to pay for kids pool with my grandaughter, ( I had phone up twice no one told me the kids pool was closed) but the young lady went and spoke to someone in the office. was told we cols go in the kids pool, the life guards were great too, my grandaughter loved the pool, I just want to thank them all especially the young lady on reception she made our 1st time taking Mt grandaughter there, and the lifeguard who made sure it was a great experience she only just over two, had the best time thank you all so very much.xx

I think Splashpoint are brilliant for swimming lessons for kids. And diving lessons. Just a small detail which means a lot, which takes 3 stars away from an otherwise great pool, is that unlike other organisations who take the time to show they care about the children's achievements, the fact they just hand over a blank certificate they can't be bothered to not only fill the child's name in but also the examiner doesnt even bother signing it so the certificate means absolutely zilch. I think splashpoint if you could at least be bothered to get the Teachers to sign the certificates they might actually mean something? All my daughters other clubs the teachers take the time to sign. And it does mean a lot to the child. Surely each day that is certificate day the Teachers could just sign the examiner signature section at least? Especially being I have to also pay £3.95 for the privilege of getting one. Devil is in the detail and this is a significant one.

Splashpoint swimming has gotten cleaner since our last visit. There are 4 pool areas kids leisure pool, a small outside pool, a main indoor pool and a separate diving area with 3 diving boards. Mixed changing areas and lockers cost 10p which is non refundable. Poolside viewing is free and there is also a small cafe area. There is a fitness suite upstairs. If you use the pay and display parking adjacent to the pool then take your parking ticket stub to reception as they will refund the cost of parking. I got a £2 refund which was nice but they can’t back date it!

Very nice place for kids and adults. Good for relaxation and sport. I gave 4 stars from 5 as GYM room is pretty small for the amount of people attending to and not enough power lifting machines. Another negative point is that the main pool is often used for classes or training which makes it unavailable for the rest of customers. Overall, it's a good place for any age to come to relax and doing sport.

Was not open on Sunday in Dec month, but loved the experience of walking towards this hill site and view around the kinda village streets nearby

What a fantastic group of volunteers and tour guides, working tirelessly to save this really important mill for us and the future generations. Definitely get along there for one of their open days or events! Really good value for money and the Biscoff cake is amazing :)

High Salvington Windmill (originally called Durrington Mill with a 'date' of 1700 inscribed above the door) is a Grade II listed post mill in High Salvington, Sussex that has been restored and is in full working order. Standing at 320-ft above sea level, the mill enjoys the advantages of incoming sea winds off the English Channel. The High Salvington Windmill Trust acquired the mill in late 2007, and had completed restoration by 2009. All the ongoing maintenance and restoration work at the mill is carried out by the volunteer 'millwrights'.

They do a lovely guided tour inside the windmill and if you're lucky, the mill gets repositioned while you're having a tour. It still grinds too. There's a coffee shop and tidbits you can buy on site. All for a kiss.

Open days are brilliant for kids and adults. Lots to do for only a few pence..games are only 30p to 50p a go.. you can also do a tour of the windmill.

Beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Family- & dog-friendly. £1 entry & £1 tours. Small coffee shop & gift shop. Very interesting tour from Jeff, who was an enthusiastic & friendly volunteer

We parked at the bottom of the gallops and walked up to the windmill, £1 each for adults and children were free, this included a guided tour of the windmill which was beautifully restored. Tea, cakes and ice lollies were £4 in total what a bargain 😋

Love this place. Never fails when I’m short of an idea to entertain the toddler. £1.50 (I think) for soft play. Cafe is good too with differing breakfast and lunch menu. It can get very busy, and sometimes people hog the high chairs - could do with having a few more available; also find some overstay their hour soft play, staff were really bang on top of this for a while but have relaxed a bit now. Outside farm and play park is also great!

Great little place to take the kids for a hour or more. Super friendly and helpful staff, we visited on one of the hottest days of the year and the animals was being well cared for. Plenty of car parking space, easy access for the less able bodied. The £3.50 entrance fee was very reasonable considering other attractions in the area. Well thought out locations for hand washing and plenty. Refreshments available from the on site horse box. The garden center also had a good selection of healthy plants available to buy. Would certainly recommend!

Just a lunch today but have wandered around the grounds on other visits. Good selection of food and drink to choose from. Busy at times which says a lot. Watched the horse riders enjoying themselves, and the Robins and birds taking in the sun

The cafe can be very good with lovely food. However, we often find that the service is ridiculously slow. Sadly they seem incapable of having someone take the orders, then another person make the coffees for them to be delivered. Today, for example, we waited over ten minutes for one person to be served and then wait for their coffee while the one server took their order and made three coffees. With another person in front a further 10+ minutes wait was on the cards so we gave up and went elsewhere. They really do need to look at the consistency. On some occasions they have it down and the users are taken while someone else manages the coffee machine. Then the service is acceptable. Suspect we’re not the only ones to have given up! And it wasn’t busy - before that’s used as an excuse! We hope this feedback will be taken onboard and the process reviewed to give better, consistent and faster service.

I was thoroughly impressed with how immaculate the place was. The cafe, unfortunately, had a lot to be desired. They were out of stock of a lot of stuff which was surprising for a Friday before an August Bank holiday open day weekend. Word to the wise, bring your own food and eat on the benches in the playground.

Had a lovely time here today. Huge variety of animals to look at and lots to do for children. Small play area inside and a play area outside. Cafe was lovely, had a nice lunch and most definitely a home-made mince pie! Staff were friendly. Lovely gift shop too.

Not good for wheelchair users cannot get to see all of theanimals too many gravel paths to see the animals Appears to be very much children oriented, will not visit again with the elderly with needs that would enjoy the experience not wheelchair friendly. No wheelchairs available to use Very very dissatisfied

A lovely relaxing place to go. Also great to watch thunderstorms out at sea. Lots of insect wildlife life up there if you're willing to wait.

Lovely spot. So historic and with easy access.

One ofy favourite places. Lovely end of summer walk past the Miller's Tomb and up to the way point

I regularly go up on Highdown Hill covering approximately 4 miles each time covering different routes through depending on how energetic I am feeling that day. Walking round the hill you will take in great view’s inland and the coast. This is a great walk for novice walkers, dog walkers, runners, kids and many others I probably have not thought of. There is great spot at the top of the hill for a picnic with the family as well as a picnic area near the car park. (Please ensure you put your rubbish in the bins and if they are full take it home. Otherwise the animals will have the rubbish everywhere and this ruins the site for everyone). The car park is free and near to this there is the Highdown Gardens which is also free and there is a tea rooms just outside the car park. #dogwalk #picnicspot #walking #kidfriendly #greatviews

Nice walk with nice views, take a picnic

Great place with amazing views. Run ride dog walk.

A great walk up through the lanes & fields, enjoying the scenery as you go. The view from the top makes the trek worthwhile.

My go to park whenever m around. After sunset, it is scary to pass through as no lights in park

Went to a lovely wedding day. Food was good, nice varieties for various diets, not all carbs 😋 drinks reasonable £ in moderation! £10 gin and tonic Large 😋 Weather was brilliant, so not sure what if it wasn't? Outside gazebo.

Second time we’ve been here. Pot of tea is great, however, they advertise ‘luxury sandwiches” which are in fact paninis!! Service very slow and prices are quite high. Great for a cake and cuppa but would t recommend it for anything else.

One of my favourite places in Worthing and I go here often with my dog. My 3 year old granddaughter loves coming here too and particularly loves the squirrels and the pigeons. Lots of shade on hot days and plenty of benches. It's a great place to relax. Full of mature trees and lovely flowerbeds with plenty of grass for picnicking

1 / 1 WARNING TO DOG WALKERS This is a very pleasant park which we use quite frequently when walking from the Lyndhurst Road car park to the sea front with our dogs. This is not primarily a review of the park, however: it is a warning to dog owners to beware of two aggressive and dangerous dogs we encountered yesterday afternoon (around 3.45 p.m. on 31 May). On our way through the park, we noticed a man (aged about 30) with two dogs on leads (a dark brown French bulldog (probably male) and a medium-sized black and white dog, which appeared to be a cross of some kind – probably a pitbull cross or some other bull breed). The man passed us some distance away and joined a woman of a similar age with a small toddler. Shortly afterwards the French bulldog ran away from them at high speed and made straight for our own French bulldog; to our great surprise and shock (particularly given that, in our experience, such behaviour is not typical of the breed), it attacked our dog. It was followed by the other dog, which joined in the attack. We were able to lift both our dogs out of harm’s way before any serious damage was done, and the aggressive dogs’ owner managed to restrain them, while muttering an apology. He then left the park with his family. On this occasion, we managed to protect our dogs from serious harm, but it was a close shave; and someone less agile or less able to lift a dog (such as an elderly person, of whom a number could be seen in the park) might have fared less well. So please be aware of this if you take your dogs to Beach House Park. As for the aggressive dogs’ owner, in the unlikely event that you read this, you need to ensure: a. that your dogs are muzzled in public places; b. that your (very young) child is not put at risk of injury by your dogs; and c. that you try to learn how to keep them away from other dogs: not letting go of their leads would be a good start.

Wonderful space to relax. Real sun trap. Beautiful floral displays. Love the roses. A terrific vegetable patch. A poignant Memorial Garden. Bowling Green. Popular cafe. Easy access.

We visited for this years Jack on the Green and it was absolutely beautiful. The park itself is well maintained and has a lovely pavilion in the middle that does great food

To quote my 2yr old “i Loves toybox” Lots of fun variety of things to play with. Adore the cakes so much so I’ve hired the baker to do my wedding. Always have a great time and exhausts my daughter. We buy the monthly pass as it allows us to go on an impromptu rainy day without thinking about additional budgeting. Have oat milk and soy milk which is great for allergies. Bright fun filled space ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

wonderful asset to the town, so lovely to have somewhere you can enjoy a hot drink while you're child plays. It was extremely busy but that is to be expected on a rainy Sunday morning and I think it will calm down once its been open a little longer. I love that there are other toys besides the soft play & my son throughly enjoyed trying them all out. Look forward to our next visit 😊

This is a great cafe with soft play in the centre of Worthing town. It has a mixture of soft play and role play toys. It’s not the biggest soft play area so would recommend mid week as I imagine it’s busy on weekends. I’d recommend extending and have two areas for younger ages. Simple but good selection on the menu. Nice clean layout with friendly staff. We’ll visit again!!

Such a lovely place to come with young children. Highly recommend! Our 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed his time in the soft play area whilst I was able to enjoy an oat mocha & vegan biscoff cake 🙂

Amazing cafe in Worthing. Came here a few weeks ago with family for my birthday as we have two toddlers and it was perfect. The kids went off to play and we could see wherever they were from our table meaning we didn't have to follow them round and could just sit and relax. The food is great and really reasonably priced and the brownies are out of this world. Staff are lovely and friendly too. Would definitely recommend and will be coming here again!

Brilliant place. Everything has been thought through by the owner. As a parent it is hard to find somewhere that caters for much younger kids, other than soft play. It's a great place for us to bring our 18month old child to play, everything is well priced. Coffee, cakes and service all amazing. It's a lovely atmosphere and look forward to our next trip. Keep up the great work

I visited with my wife and 3 year old on what looked to be a very busy day! Despite this we felt that the service was attentive and the team did a good job of keeping things running. The food was good (plenty of options for little mouths) and I actually got to eat in peace as my son was busy with the play equipment. He enjoyed the roleplay toys and playing with other children in a safe environment. Coffee and cake looked excellent too. I'll try them out on my next visit!

£4 pounds for day rate. The Green itself is fantastic, with good access to the beach. Play area, good pathway occasionally busy with cyclists some of who. are a bit thoughtless with the speed they travel at. Easy access to the beach. Go.visit and have a great day just make sure you dont get caught out with the change of price.

This beach is amazing and we love popping along to see all the cars when lancing motor show is on!

Really nice place to visit if your a tourist, I live here in Lancing and often pop into the perch restaurant with .y dog for something to eat and drink overlooking the sea

Nice quiet stretch of beach (due to freezing weather🙂). Tidy and well maintained.

Went there to see the car show which was a fantastic experience, We then walked around the sea side which I enjoyed very much, The beach was nice and clean 👌 will be back for another visit 😊

Great pebble beach without crowds of people. Sand at low tide. Nice place to walk and swim. Cappuccino available at the Perch restaurant with outdoor seating.

It is a clean beach, very stretch of green and cemented cliff where you can run, do water sports and also have rented houses if you want to go for a picnic. The city is charming and you can find restaurants and accommodation units very easily.

This place is an absolute joke: If there’s even a slight breeze they don’t bother putting the bouncy castle up. In fact I’ve never seen it up regardless of the weather. The car/coaster can only make it around the loop if four or fewer kids are on it despite having room for 20ish which of course means longer queues. Not to mention it probably desperately needs maintenance. Then there’s the large bloke who “runs” the trampolines. By run, I mean he sits there motionless staring at his phone whilst larger kids jump on every trampoline knocking the smaller kids out the way. All the while it says no jumping between trampolines. He is beyond useless. It is supposed to be £8 for unlimited rides. Despite 25% of them not working they still charged me £7. This place deserves to go out of business.

Great fun for a six, five and one year old. The lads running it were kind. Good value if you buy the wrist band. Only four rides but for young children, it whiled away a couple of happy hours running from one to another.

The lido can get very busy being on the seafront but with great views. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating to us when we go. Inside the lido there are rides for smaller children but do have trampolines and a inflatable slide the older kids can use. The amusements are dated but I think that adds to the feel and can bring back memories from you being a child again. With a rock shop attached and other local shops it's a must see when coming to Worthing.

Lido in Worthing is a cult place. It was built as a promenade in 1925. In 1957, a swimming pool was added, and the seaside structure became known as Lido. Currently listed as a Grade II monument, the facility is used as a family entertainment center and arcade, but there are plans for its redevelopment. Perhaps it will return to its previous function as a public swimming pool? Either way, it certainly needs refurbishment.

Been visiting here as a resident with my children and now grandchildren. Went this June and was so very disappointed. Only 3 rides, as always bouncy slide not inflated due to breeze! Still charged £8 for a wristband though. It's on the seafront for goodness sake. In a state of tatty disrepair. We used to love it here, but the sad state of it, plus many Worthing carparks closed and many roads also closed, I'll probably try Littlehampton or Bognor next time. Harbour park or Hotham park much more pleasant.

I wouldn't ever suggest this as a destination itself, but if you are on Worthing seafront anyway and have small children with you, they will definitely enjoy the rides and bouncy slides. Prices seem reasonable, there's an arcade, proper ice cream and what I assume is intended to be a highly authentic 1970s themed cafe.

Friendly, peaceful. Right on beach. Breakfast Great price and good.

Had the most amazing time with my niece and nephew today, we were served by Sofia (I think her name was!) she was so lovely and so good with the little ones, she gave them glow sticks which they loved and explained what we needed to do! 10/10 experience xx

There was a good selection of pottery to choose from, and the music in the background made the atmosphere really enjoyable! The light menu was perfect for a nibble and a drink. We booked as a group of four and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Such a fun and relaxing activity! Loved the calm atmosphere. I had an iced coffee and a slice of carrot cake, both delicious 🤤 Friendly staff and clean toilets.

What a wonderful place! My daughter had a slime party here and all the children loved it from start to finish and have said it was the "best party ever"! The staff are amazing and couldn't of asked for more, with lovely little extra touches as well with fancy dress, Karaoke etc..

I've been to artful 3 times for pottery painting and now once for a clay night and I absolutely love it there! The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable to help you make your designs come to life and look their best. I've always been to the adult only evening sessions and the atmosphere is always great. The pottery always comes out the kiln really shiny and high quality as you can see in the picture of my plate. What I particularly liked about the clay evening is that you make and paint all in the same night! I highly recommend

We had a lovely family get together making things with clay. Nina was great explaining and showing us how to do it.

The cafe hosted a fantastic build-a-bear party for my 7 year old daughter. I can’t recommend highly enough. Our hosts were friendly and efficient, running games as well as the activity, and Tia couldn’t have been more helpful. Such a cool venue!

Excellent mini golf course. Well maintained, clean and entertaining features. Staff are lovely. I would say if it wasn't for the mini golf course on our short beach trip to Worthing.... We would of been very bored! I would definitely recommend this activity at this particular course and it's suitable for anyone that can hold a mini golf club!

Saturday afternoon great fun.... well run by friendly girl and value for money.. recommend Can get busy 😉

Great value for money. 18 holes and a good challenge, not super easy like others. Took 3 of us over an hour. Great fun

Had a great time with my son at this well maintained mini golf course, lovely place, very welcoming which was borne out by how popular it was too.

Played this mini golf with my 4 year old and 2 year old last weekend and we had the best time! The lady who was running it couldn't have been nicer. She even let my little ones help her set up, they were over the moon with that! The course itself was great fun with a good variety of challenges. There's plenty of parking nearby so it is easy to get to as well. We give it 5 stars, will definitely return for another round!

Ok, it's not the most modern of golf courses but it does provide some taxing holes so if you have little ones with little patience who like to win - probably not for them. Otherwise a lovely 18 holes. Staff very friendly and chatty and the price is around what you would expect.

We love this mini golf course! Over the summer we have played multiple times and never get bored of it. The course is challenging in the best way possible and keeps you on your toes; the feeling when you get a hole in one is amazing! The staff are very friendly and make it a tremendous experience. Perfect Worthing seaside fun.

Lancing Ring has a good-sized car park So, it's not usually a problem to park from the car park you can walk in several directions . The ring has a dew pond and woods, unfunfortunately the woods have been hit by Ash die back so not at there best but still lovely. Would not be suitable for wheelchair users, but perfect for child adventures and the more adventurous walker on to the South downs.

Lively little beginner stomp route on the downs, recommend to start south west bound and end on the hill. Great vistas, big skies, green fields, silent countryside vibes!

Enjoyed a good walk from Lancing Ring, across the fields with the impressive Lancing College and Adur Valley in view. To Coombe Church, along the River Adur and back.

Nice views of the sea and the South Downs, a reasonably easy, flat walk

A thoroughly popular route across the South Downs with a car park nestled at the top, this is a gateway to a very decent trail that sprawls along the downs from East to West. There's plenty of room for all, but if you're after a picnic spot I'd try somewhere else as it's a dog walkers paradise, and a bikers dream with rapid access to Shoreham and Worthing via the trails. The car park is in rather poor shape though with split and uneven concrete, making getting to the few spaces there are a bit of a challenge.

Nioce place to walk the dog and escape the classic hustle and bustle. Good walks just follow the path round. Also theres bike track that goes further north up to Chanctonbury ring. Check it out if you like the outdoors. What av you got to lose... especially in lockdown!

Very good for walking on the Sussex Downs near Lancing Collage and farmland.There are horse and mountain biking trails leading to Lancing Ring.

It's a decent playground. Fairly small. There weren't any swings attached to the frame when we were there (late May 2025)

Gull Island Playground in Worthing is a fantastic spot for young children, with its pirate-themed ship, sandy base, and safe, engaging environment. Conveniently located by the beach and Coast Café, it’s perfect for a fun family day out.

My daughter grew up in this park. Great for all ages, including crawling babies. It feels extremely summery all year round thanks to the massive sandy areas. There's always a great atmosphere in the park and the park is surrounded by great facilities, like the Café Coast, the Splashpoint centre or the water pad. Plenty of parking spaces and right next to the sea. Massive field to play football or other activities besides the park too.

Nice little sandy park near the sea side. Lots of things for the children to so and next to the splash pad and cafe. Always busy and always clean and tidy.

Nice little sand pit. If it gets windy sand can get in your eyes 😂 so be sure to bring a pair of shades when it's dry and sunny.

Nice little park with something for all ages and laid out so you can keep an eye on the kids without having to follow them everywhere

Fantastic little park. Our Son really enjoyed himself here.very well kept and clean park

First time here and I found it to be an excellent bowls club. Lots of indoor space for bowling with a full sized outdoor bowls green. The club appeared to be well run with a well stocked bar and a small, but adequate, kitchen.

Good facilities but pub prices at the bar not club prices.

Lovely breakfast and nice venue

Lovely people very nice club friendly clean tidy

Great friendly club,with good food & bar

When it works it’s great fun for the children, but rarely working unfortunately.

Such a Nice Place

I’ve been coming here since 2016 and not once seen this working…

I was not disappointed there was water.

Great hidden jem in Worthing

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, beautiful place. Unfortunately, I have never seen a working fountain. (Original) Bardzo ciekawe, ładne miejsce. Niestety jeszcze ani razu nie widziałam działającej fontanny.

Cafe is always busy and limited seats. Service sometimes a little cool. Food and drink are decent. Wide selection. Pond is decent size to walk around there's different breeds of ducks and 2 swans. A little overrun by seagulls. Can't comment on playground area. But always see families and dog walkers. Cafe is dog friendly

Lovely park with great views of the lake and surrounding area. Was very busy when we went with the grandchildren on a sunny day in March. Had to queue for over half an hour to buy three ice creams in the cafe!

One of the best 'just pop in for a sausage sandwich' I've had. And the caramel latte was top notch (you can always tell when it's cheap syrup, and this wasn't). Popped in while my bike was having an MoT nearby, glad I did 👍.

My first time going since they pumped some money into it I have to say it's a great transformation even though there are still some bits that require attention. The playground is now a great safe place to take children of various ages and abilities. It's a nice open plan space for children to run around safely. There is a designated trace for bikes which is great if you're teaching your little one how to ride. The walk around the lake is very nice a peaceful. The cafe is still under construction which meant there were no toilets available which is why we left in the end. Hopefully this will be addressd soon. Over all a great morning out and well worth a visit.

Pleasant place to walk for all the family.

The old golf course at the back of Brooklands had been turned into a great dog walking area with loads of space for dogs to run freely and safely. The workers are in laying paths through this area more than doubling the size of the park. I was unsure at first, but it is looking really good. I just hope dog walkers are not forgotten. Looking forward to the new cafe.

Brooklands used to be amazing, the little train, play area, go karts and paddling pool. But it's all gone and has been for a while. What is left is an empty shell of a place. The lake is lovely, feeding the ducks is good fun. The park is terrible, every time we go more and more things get taken and not replaced. The grass is wild all over the place so you must keep to the tiny path. Perfect for dog walkers, but other than that I wouldn't bother visiting until the council spend a bit of money on the poor place.

Lovely park with fantastic little water garden and fountain. Great cafe, easy access to the beach. Great way to escape the hustle and bustle of town.

Great place for a stroll with the family in all weathers. Today was a particularly beautiful start to the new year. Nice smooth surface for buggies scooters bikes roller skates etc. Beach play area for kids and several cafes close by.

I love this little oasis on the sea front but I think the pitch and putt has gone which would be a shame. The cafe is fab - lovely food and great coffee but it does get busy so you may need to book if eating. It's just a nice place to sit and watch the world go by for a bit

A lovely park with a lily and fish pond, lawn bowls and cafe. Areas to sit and play and a lavender walk that was buzzing with bees. Easy parking in nearby streets.

It's nice to see maintenance going into Worthing green areas, with actual koi carp in the fountain pond here it's such a beautiful tranquil place to sit, I think we need more nature and information plaques telling more about the flora and history of these places though that would be brilliant

An absolute gem of a place. The volunteers who look after the gardens do a magnificent job and should be more widely recognised. The cafe serves delicious food and the staff are always pleasant.

The garden are always clean and tidy. Lots of seats, bowls green and pond with fish to watch (or feed)
