Opening Times


The site is currently open 10:00am – 4:00pm daily.

Our Catering and Retail outlets, Family Attractions, Alum Bay Glass, Sweet Manufactory and Sand filling experience are all open daily.
The Iconic Chairlift, Carousel, and Tea Cups currently remain closed for essential Winter maintenance.

The steps to the beach also remain closed at this time. The Isle of Wight Council continue to monitor this situation, but due to the risk of further landslip and coastal erosion, they have decided to keep these steps closed on the grounds of Health and Safety with the safety of the general public the priority.

Please note, some of our attractions are subject to weather conditions and operating times can vary throughout the year.
