Adventure Coast Southport

Adventure Coast Southport is a proper family amusement park on Marine Drive, with themed lands, rides and plenty of cheerful seaside commotion. Better still, its definition of “family” includes the one with the wet nose, so well-behaved dogs are welcome to join the fun throughout the outdoor park.

Dogs can potter between attractions, supervise the humans’ ride choices and quietly judge anyone who screams on the way down. They can’t go on the rides themselves and must remain on leads at all times, while owners are responsible for clearing up after them.

The park opens seasonally, usually at weekends and daily during school holidays from late March until the end of September, from 11am–5pm. General entry is free, with ride wristbands and access cards sold separately, and there are two large car parks on the Esplanade and Marine Drive. It’s a wonderfully easy way to enjoy a classic Southport family day out without leaving the dog behind.
