Bustling with youngsters, the Dreamland park is a wondeful gateway to enjoy a wild day outside in summer. We visited for the very first time and had a wonderful time riding the roller coaster, pirate bay and water ride. There are attracting offers in terms of tokens. Brought back childhood memories in the rides. The scenic railway is temporarily closed now which is one of the oldest roller coaster rides in UK. Would recommend anyone to visit this place visiting Margate this summer. 😊

Nice vibe for a weekend. We went in to get away from the rain and was pleasantly surprised. Loads of stuff to do for the kids. There is lots of funfair rides, a roller disco, an arcade and lots of places to eat.The arcade could be a little more well maintained. All the staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic great concert festival. Had VIP platform area so it was great view seeing top artists perform. How ever it is standing venue. This is suitable for all people. Carpark at back entrance. Had private toilets and bar on vip platform

Rides are lovingly kept and the operators make it fun. Facilities are clean as is the park. Yes the tokens are expensive and it can rack up if you have more than one person on the rides, but it's an experience, it's nostalgia driven and it's wholly Margate. Love it.

Have only been to Dreamland for live music so can only comment on that side of things! A brilliant venue, husband and I love it! Saw manic Street Preachers/Suede in July last year and Scooter this evening. Fantastic atmosphere, clean loos, not ridiculous prices at the bar. Couldn’t ask for more! The vintage vibe is great, and it’s a nice walk from the car park to the venue. Friendly staff too. Great selection of food. Would deffo recommend Dreamland for a great live music experience. There is a really old and grotty looking multi-storey behind it which I have parked in both times with absolutely no issues. On the website now to see what else I can book!

Fab outdoor music venue with some great performances. The atmosphere is just amazing. I look forward to what next year has to offer. Removed one star for the rave events. I don't feel this venue is adequate for raves.

Morning grandson had an amazing time here. Great rides,especially the water chute and roller coaster, no queues and the staff were great! £24.95 for a wristband was a really good deal to be able to go on any of the rides all day

Dropped by Turner Contemporary during a day trip beach day to Margate and really enjoyed it. It’s free, super clean, and well looked after. I only had a quick wander before closing but it was still a really nice visit. Being right by the water is an added bonus. Worth checking out if you’re in Margate!

We spent a lovely couple of hours wandering through the galleries. All very well curated. Great for school groups. No entrance fee. Just donations requested. Small but interesting gift shop with pottery that reflects Turners key work.

I am always excited to see what's going to be on display next. The presentation is always top class with such attention to details. My daughter and I are frequent visitors.

It's free so always worth popping in if you're in Margate anyway. Quite surprised and a bit disappointed that there is literally just the one lonely Turner there. The other exhibits were a mixed bag really, two beautiful sculptures as you enter but the rest were bafflingly naive. Personal taste of course with any exhibition.

Always enjoy visiting the Turner no matter what the exhibition. It’s light,airy, has a great gift shop and cafe, entertainment for kids and decent toilets. We could easily spend a day here when the kids were small but now they are older it tends to be a couple of hours.

Super spot, convenient and plentiful parking, easy access to the gallery. Well worth a visit just to experience this amazing space…. which is just as well as the current exhibit (Anna Boghiguian) looked like it had been produced by a class of 6 year olds… which any self respecting 6 year old might even take umbrage with.

Hi all just been to the turner exhibition only one painting by him which we found unusual in the turner center lol The shell girl was good and the paintings and pictures buy the kids and teenagers of the area where good the sunken ship couldn't get my head around the chess piece where ok and the undersea world was ok .

The Shell Grotto is definitely a unique and interesting place to visit - I just wish it was a little bigger/there was a little more to see. Fascinating series of passages and small rooms beautifully decorated with shells. And how and why it was done is still a mystery. I enjoyed reading all the history and info. Recommend. Only a 10/15 min walk from the old town (and we also saw a lovely Tudor house).

Visited the Shell Grotto and really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly. And there's a nice selection of items you can buy in the shop. Definitely worth seeing. It was quite busy when we went in Sunday, but you can explore it in about 15 min. A short but very interesting experience.

Interesting place to visit and cheap activity. It takes approx 10 mins to walk around you can make it longer if you really want to inspect the design. But it is very small so if you area bit wary of tight spaces be aware this may not be for you. They have some interesting facts before you head down to the grotto. The team are friendly and the gift shop is lovely if a bit small when there are lots of people. Definitely worth a visit

Much smaller than expected but still very interesting with a little bit of history and alot of skill. I feel the entry price is far too expensive for something that took me 5 minutes to walk around, but for someone particularly interested in the artwork and fancy something different to look at, its still good. The gift shop is a must see as has plenty of gorgeous seashells and a few other pretty items for sale. No toilets or parking, if your lucky you can find free street parking nearby.

Visiting the Shell Grotto was an unforgettable experience. The moment I stepped inside, I couldn’t believe my eyes — every surface is covered in intricate patterns made entirely from seashells. It’s both mysterious and magical, and truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. This is absolutely a must-see destination for anyone. After exploring the grotto, I enjoyed browsing the charming gift shop, which offers a wonderful selection of seashells and other unique treasures to take home as souvenirs.

Stunning place decorated with many shells. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a shop to buy all sorts of small things. Not far, 3-4 minutes walk, there's a carpark with a pound stretcher, there the parking is free for two hours.

Amazing, I have never seen anything like it. They must if had plenty if time on their hands, and loved shellfish!!

Restaurant/Cafe Really awful meal. My wife had sausages were really burnt see pics attached. She could taste the burnt offerings in her mouth. Mash really yellow and didn't taste very nice. Won't be going back again or recommend to anyone. Felt really disappointed. Also she had a milkshake which was too sweet and couldn't hold the glass as it was dripping with sticky syrup all down the sides.

Lovely quality gammon ham, perfectly cooked eggs, simple dish properly executed, lovely baked potato for my wife.

It was a rainy day so wife and I decided on a cup of tea. Then the menu got the better of us, we had a club sandwich and triple cheese toasty. Both came with complementary salad and crisps. Always good when you get the side dish included. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty, wechad half of each others dishes. Really nice food and spot on tea and mocha to drink. Very good value at around nine pound a dish. We really recommend coming here for a bite to eat. We def come back again. Also the staff were lovely and friendly and let us know the specials.

Had the full breakfast today. Delicious, served with a smile, in a lovely corner of Kent. Will be back.

We had full breakfast here, it was excellent, especially the sausage. Staff are very friendly. Great value too. Will definitely return.

We enjoyed the best jacket potatoes for lunch here with side salad. Fresh ingredients, not expensive, lovely sunny garden and friendly staff. Thank you 😊

Just had two sandwiches here , I had sausage and red onions chutney,my wife had a BLT , and we said they were great, you also get salad and crisps with it. It was great value for money and very tasty.
