Flamingo family amusement park is a small theme park with a big arcade attached the rides here are mainly what you would call fun fair rides with a small kids coaster and pirate ship ride being the biggest of all the rides. The arcade is full of the usual British sea side games and machines you would expect like penny push, video game and slots that are mainly set to lose money so dont go in to get rich, go in to enjoy!!!

I didnt take my family as they are scared of flamingos, its because their knees are backwards. I only saw large swans which legend says have attempted to pedlow to France on drunken occasions.Very nice

This is great for a few hours the ride are good for small children under 10 a would say, the rides are mainly priced ok but the cost for the new rollacoster is very prices was about 12 to get 3 of us on it.The value on the rest is much better and for such a small place it has such a great choice and you can easy spend 2 or 3 hours here.Staff a nice and helpful too

Gone down hill Im afraid. No staff around anywhere, machines are very very neglected! It used to be that they went around all the time moving the prizes around and putting news ones in but the last 2 times we have been the machines are empty, jammed up with coins or prizes stuck in places they wouldnt move from, very disappointed and a shame.

I took my girls here for a day out they are 12 and 5 Yr old twins and its a buy tokens to go on rides and each one varies but it tokens pp per ride and the highest being 5 pp and its done in less than 2 mins so within 2 rides done 40 tokens in less than ten minutes, the biggest upset was my daughter not being allowed on a ride with me cause although she was on the minimum height required they deemed her to short and we couldnt go on, so we went into the arcades instead they had a bit more fun in there but majority of the machines are all the same 2p 10p with many not having winning tickets available or not working properly so unfortunately i wont be going back here again it could be so much more fun with either wrist bands or less tokens per ride

Review №17

Arrived today after an hours drive with a friend and our special needs children to find no rides open due to a power cut, no message on Google, main website or Facebook to say it is closed today or why so a long trip wasted with now upset children. Will not be trying again due to the stress this has caused.

Another place my kids love they love the silly games in there and the always have a competition on who can get the most tickets and who can get the silly little Nik nacs from the 2p machine.but it also good for older children as they have a wide variety of arcade games but you will need deep pocket as its an amusement arcade

After being in lockdown for some time myself and my family went to this arcade as I’ve done so for many years. The way they have measures in place to insure that people maintain a safe distance of 2m or so is an excellent job and effort by all the staff who work there. The staff where mostly under pressure but still remained calm and cool. And the system they have one way in and out system and checking temperatures as you enter it is a brilliant system.

Son lovessss going here and great place/reason to keep my loose change and throw it in his pot !! The 2p machines he lovesss and the young girl with the hijab on (headscarf) really helped us out when we lost some of our previously won tokens and so we could still get a bigger prize before coming home from the lockdown !! Great place to visit and super friendly staff !!!

We have been going to Hastings for years. This arcade is well managed with a lot of variety. There are plenty of ticket machines (redemption with prizes). Also loads of 2p pushers always with a good selection of toys that can be won. My kids always enjoy it.

The arcades were good , except a couple of the machines were not working , which I havent taken stars out , only during Corona and the fact the machines havent been turnt on in a while , all in all the staff were very friendly and able to help with the situation , would reccomend if you want a quick time waster for about 20-40 minutes , wouldnt be worth driving to but would highly recommend to people who walk by and need time to kill.

It an arcade. What can I say apart from the attendants are more than good at fixing the machines so you cant win. Constant putting toys out of reach on the 2p machines. Wedging the £5 notes in so they dont move. I typical rip off arcade . But the kids love it.

Entertaining I suppose if youre here on a day out and want to spend £20 in short time for the entertainment of your children. The best value for fun are the air hockey tables, where 2 people can play.(you dont get any tickets for this) But the ticket reward system is a ripoff, you have to get to have about 200 tickets for the prize of a few pathetic sweets. On the us side, its inside and relatively warm (and on busy days very noisy). If you place a limit on the amount t to be spent you can have a lot of fun. The best value in my opinion are the 2p machines where a sufficiency of coins will provide a small plastic toy, which always pleases the littles, as long as you pick the right machines

Review №48

The arcade is full of cranes and other games to entertain you. Easy way to get tickets for prices - great fun for the whole family. Make sure you have cash on you, did not find cash machine nearby. The staff was friendly and the place itself is clean, well maintained. There are some newer games too, good for the whole family to spend some money and have fun. I did not try the cranes but have not seen anyone with prizes, so I assume it is weak enough to spend a lot then give up. Overall, recommended.

Nice variety of amusement arcades situated all across the Seafront which include 2ps, adult only and ticket earning machines. Always complements my visits to Hastings :)

I must say a very good place for kids to enjoy them selfs if they feel stressed but why I gave 4 is because on of the ladys at the prize counter didnt explain how to get your tickets counted.

What a good laugh, plenty of games to play , something for all ages, if you have a few children it could be pricey, the kids love collecting the tickets, the more tickets you get the better the prize, that is a bit of a con, because the prizes are rubbish, but it didnt stop us having a good time, no toilet, but plenty of room if you have a pushchair or are a wheelchair user, save your 2p all year and your be sorted.

Cant go wrong with penny pushers and grab machines. My brother managed to win 11,000 tickets in the 2 hours we were there, so lots of prizes to be won. Prizes are pot luck - some are ok while others are naff. And we managed to get parking right outside which was a bonus!

Ok if you have some time to kill and a bit of cash to waste. Being mainly a prize ticket arcade - You will need to win thousands of tickets to get any thing remotely decent from the prize shop. Other than that you might win a bit of plastic out of the 2p pushers.

It has started to change a lot since I visited previously. I find staff arent always approachable and prizes to win used to be worth playing for but now its just same old cheap tatt I would expect in a run down arcade. Since changing I personally dont spend as much as used to..
