The Grand Pier Weston-Super-Mare, Captain Jacks Bar

Great fun, only £1 per person to enter which is much cheaper that I expected. Nice chip shop with indoor and outdoor seating, chips were really nice. SO many arcade games, endless fun. Had a helter-skelter, go karts, bumper cars, mirror maze, and tons of normal arcade machines. You have to pay for each obviously but that's expected of an arcade. Pier had a few nice gift shops too. I think there was more we never got a chance to explore but I'd definitely go again. On a nice sandy beach too.

Visiting the new Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare is always a pleasant experience. It's a modern, vibrant attraction with plenty to do, especially for families with young children. The arcade games, rides, and indoor activities ensure there's something for everyone, rain or shine. The pier itself is well-maintained, and the views out to sea are just as stunning as ever. However, for me, it's hard not to feel a pang of nostalgia for the old pier that I grew up with. The old pier had a charm that can’t quite be replaced. Perhaps it’s the sentimental value or the memories of simpler times, but the new pier, as nice as it is, doesn’t quite capture the magic of the original. It’s a shame the old pier was lost to the fire, as it held a special place in the hearts of many who grew up visiting it. That said, the new Grand Pier is undeniably a great addition to Weston-super-Mare. It’s clear a lot of thought and effort has gone into making it a top-notch attraction, and it’s perfect for creating new memories with the next generation. While it may not hold the same nostalgic value for me, it’s still a lovely place to visit, especially for families looking for a fun day out.

Makes for a wicked day out, some of the best selections of arcade machines in one place. Beautiful views of the sea from the pier. Great to go with the family, on a date, or even on your own!
