Brighton is one of the UK’s very best destinations for families with children. The combination of a great beach, classic seaside amusements, world-class attractions, parks, and a child-friendly atmosphere makes Brighton a perennial favourite for family holidays. West Pier Residence Brighton is ideally positioned for families wanting to make the most of everything the city has to offer.
Brighton Palace Pier for Kids
Children absolutely love Brighton Palace Pier. The funfair rides, helter-skelter, dodgems, and arcade games provide hours of entertainment. Traditional pier amusements including slot machines, shooting galleries, and prize machines are also huge hits with children of all ages.
Sea Life Brighton for Families
Sea Life Brighton consistently receives excellent family reviews. Children are captivated by the shark tanks, the underwater tunnel, the seahorse breeding programme, and the interactive rockpool touch tank where they can handle sea creatures under supervision.
Building Sandcastles — Actually Pebble Castles!
Brighton Beach may be pebbly rather than sandy, but children love playing on it regardless. Pebble throwing, rock pooling, paddling, and swimming are all popular beach activities. The shallow water near the shore is safe for younger children, and the beach has lifeguard coverage during the summer season.
Volk’s Electric Railway
Children love the historic Volk’s Electric Railway — the world’s oldest operating electric railway, which has been running along Brighton’s seafront since 1883. The little train runs between the Palace Pier area and Brighton Marina during the summer season, making for a novel and historically interesting short trip.
Preston Park and Playgrounds
Brighton has numerous parks and green spaces with excellent children’s play areas. Preston Park, the city’s largest park, has a large playground, open spaces for ball games, and a Victorian-era velodrome. Several seafront locations also have play equipment.
