The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Isle of Wight, England

February 7, 2022 Roger Rusk

The Isle of Wight is the perfect place to enjoy some peace, quiet and natural beauty. Except perhaps in the summer, when the Isle of Wight Festival draws visitors from all over the world. In 1970, the Festival was the largest rock-music event ever held. It was called Britain's Woodstock and featured Jimi Hendrix and The Who. (Not so much peace or quiet that week.) The island is also known for its world-famous sailing and lovely resorts, where people have been vacationing since Victorian times.

As well as the pirate golf and crazy golf there is also an excellent 18 hole dinosaur golf course. The adult price of £6.50 was fair for 18 holes and the course was very well maintained. Holes were challenging and enjoyable to play. For £11 you can play both dinosaur and pirate courses.

Reviewed By davidbA1434FK - Isle of Wight, United Kingdom

Living on the Island we have always gone to the Cineworld complex and indeed have the monthly pass. We visited Ryde Cinema as Cineworld was closed and so glad we did. OK it’s dated, the screens are not the most modern and some of the seats take me back to my childhood BUT what great value at £4, friendly staff and reasonably priced snacks and drinks, £1.50 for a large good quality coffee is impressive. We have been 4 times in a week prior to lockdown and glad we did and supporting a local amenity. Will go again when things reopen and who knows we may cancel our passes for the other cinema.

Recently took my niece to the arcade, had an excellent time on the games winning tickets, but when it came time to cash out with some prizes the machine said that our receipt was invalid. But, after a quick friendly chat with Vicky at the reception counter we got it all sorted out no worries, and my niece had an excellent time. Even though it was really busy at the time absolutely everyone working was smiling, friendly, approachable and looked after us - thanks again guys, top marks.
