Why we’re the top-rated theme park in Essex
If you’re looking for things to do in Southend on Sea, no trip to this Essex seaside resort is complete without a visit to Adventure Island.
We’ve been praised time and time again for our great value deals, our fantastic selection of food and drink, and, of course, the unbelievable selection of rides, attractions and amusements we’ve packed into our seven-acre site, which is right next to the north end of Southend Pier.
Our flexible wristband offers let you plan your day, your way, while our Annual Passes are a brilliant option for groups and families that can’t get enough of the park. All bookings are valid for 12 months, which means you can turn up another time if your plans change. Add our friendly staff and sky-high health and safety standards into the mix, and it’s easy to see why we’re one of the most popular theme parks in the whole of the country!
Your reviews
Got a question? No problem!
Are you easy to get to?
Yep! We’re within walking distance of two train stations, and there’s plenty of council-owned parking nearby.
I don’t like queuing!
You’re in luck - because our average queuing time, even during peak hours, is only 20 minutes.
What if it’s raining?
We’ve got plenty of undercover rides and arcades to keep you entertained until the rain clears.
I’ve booked it, but I can’t make it
Don't worry, your booking is valid until redeemed. Just come on another day instead.
