Marina Life: Entertaining the kids over Easter holidays

Brighton Marina’s Kirsty Pollard on keeping the kids entertained over the Easter holidays

The Easter holidays are nearly here and the age-old question arises: “What shall we do to entertain the children throughout the holidays this time?” Why not come and visit Brighton Marina? The Mmarina is a great place to hang out as, not only is there plenty to do, see and buy we have lot’s to do that’s completely FREE.

Cineworld is showing some great family movies this Easter including Jack The Giant Slayer, GI Joe, Finding Nemo, The Croods and Oz: The Great And Powerful, many of which are being shown in both 2D and 3D.

Bowlplex is a great indoor venue to keep the kids entertained with great special offers. Once you are all bowled out, make your way over to the Sega Active & Sega Prize Zone arcades. If it’s time for the great outdoors, you can try your luck on our free ping-pong tables supplied with equipment or play Chess on the brand new concrete chess tables now in Marina Square. Bring your own chess or draughts sets or you can hire from Coco’s store, open 10am–6pm daily.

If you fancy a go at crazy golf then head over to Pirates Cove pitch and putt at Park Square along with trampolines and small children rides.

If getting wet takes your fancy you can learn to scuba dive with Brighton Dive Centre or sail with Lagoon Watersports. A great excursion for less than a £10 is the Watertours pleasure boat trips, a great way to explore the city’s sights and sounds whilst out at sea. Fishing trips are available from as little as £8.50 with Ross’s boats – if you fancy something more powerful, take a ride on the powerboats.

Take time out and unwind over some scrumptious but affordable nosh. Kids eat free on Good Friday at Frankie and Benny’s. Prezzo’s Easter indulgence menu includes their famous desserts, and on Easter Day, the traditional Sunday lunch is available at Hotel Seattle, two courses for £13.50 or three courses for £16.50 with children (under 12) eating free when accompanied by a paying adult. For something sweet The Parlour is offering 10% discount on all ice creams throughout the Easter school break.

If you haven’t yet bought that special chocolate treat be sure to check out the Chilli Shop, their fabulous chilli chocolate is an Easter alternative with a real twist!
