Lose yourself in the Land of Imagination at Blackgang Chine...the UK's oldest amusement park where you step out of the everyday and into a magical world where the only constraint is your own creativity.
Visited with our family 5, (kids 13,11 and 5) having never been we did not know what to expect! We had the best day of our trip here! Attractions for all ages It was Wild West week and all ages of kids joined in with the festivities. Each walking away with a Wild West cap gun. There was absolutely no queueing for any of the rides which surprised us being May half term. No issues with the brief rain showers we did have as there are attractions you can hide from the rain in. We were amazed this awesome place was right on the cliff edge and the views were spectacular. The best bit! If you visit early on your holiday you get free entry for another day within the week! BONUS! Our elder kids loved the new ride that goes upside down called Extinction (not for me) and our youngest went on the water slides until it was unfortunately time to leave Plenty of cafes/food outlets and places to get ice cream. Ample disabled parking ( ask the attendant that directs the cars into the car park where to go for these). Park was clean and tidy If you have little ones that are dinosaur fanatics, this is a must! 100% would recommend this to anyone visiting the Isle of Wight, make sure Blackgang chine is at the top of your to visit list, you won't be disappointed!
Expensive for adults but a different theme park than any other I have seen. Do the water ride first as really busy at end on the day. I think people wait in case they get wet! In fact you don't get too wet. I didn't really look at the free return in 7 days option. I really wish we had gone back for the evening event which would have been free, and, better than daytime.
Haven't been here since I was a kid I'm now 42 and my god is the most unique attraction I have been to in a long time was there for 4 hours just exploring only went on 2 attractions but did the maze the walk through stuff and was just a lot of fun and also a part of history being the oldest amusement park in the world if you in the area def go give it a visit I even won a souvenir out of the crane grabbers. The black gang Dodo Did have photos but google won't allow me to post them
Brilliant day! Really enjoyed the new additions to the park and a good variety for all ages. What a stunning view from the top of Evolution ride. Also good to choose intensity level of Extinction - full 360 or not. Staff are super helpful and no wait for rides. Decent kids burger in La Cantina!
Visited with my wife and teenage kids. There was a number of rides we enjoyed. The extinction ride was particularly good. It was great weather and the views from some of the park were amazing. The cafe was reasonably priced for a theme park and it was nice to visit a less frantic theme park.
What a great place. Was so much more than I expected. All the different areas make this place engaging and fun. Very clean, well looked after. Very friendly staff. Loved the gold digging and cow boy area. Would definitely recommend this place. Brilliant.
