2 Adults and 4 kids...well 5 adults and 1 kid caught a train to Blackpool pleasure beach. Bit disgruntled with the cost pre visit but always keep promises to my grandchildren. My husband and I are pensioners and there is no concessions on price, I don't go on rides and there is no concession for non-riders, our grandchildren are 15, 12 and 8. The only child is 8 ! But the hefty cost to get us in was over £250.00; we went by train; 2 x adults and 4kids !! another £100.To save some costs I prepared a picnic and took it on a small trolley to save carrying a heavy (6 diners) BUT stopped at the gate and told no trolleys or food allowed into the site; hence we needed to put in a locker...o well, will save us trapsing bags around but the lockers were either not working, too small and more importantly COST MONEY. we managed to get a small one (which fitted a couple of towels and plastic bottles of water in) but it was for only 4 hours = £2.50. Certainly not getting off to a good start; every time we wanted to eat or drink we had to return to the locker at the entrance ; with our remaining heavy load. we were exhausted before we began....Finally coerced the kids to eat the picnic to lighten our load; but told by a patrolling security man we couldn't eat our food sat on one of the benches in the site !!! It was hard no to react in front of the children to this as we didn't want to spoil their day. Other than that we all enjoyed our time together at the theme park; if your new to rides there is plenty to ride and if your a thrill -seeker the same applies-the park was not particularly busy so the queues were reasonably quick.I don't want to be negative because my grandchildren had a good day But do wonder why the company don't change/review their admission charges criteria so it would be affordable for many more people to experience and enjoy
