Of course there is always the magical experience of the Sea Life Centre or go Tropical at the Jungle Zoo where the sights and sounds envelopes you, with exotic plants, parrots, toucans and even giant snakes, if that doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping hold tight on one of the white knuckle rides at Pleasure Island, or maybe enjoy the Auditorium which has International Music Acts and West End Musicals.
