Blackgang Chine
Blackgang Chine is the oldest theme park in the UK and one of the most iconic tourist destinations, having first opened its doors in 1843, long before many of the mod cons we take for granted today were even invented!
Filled with an eclectic mix of attractions, magical theme worlds and exciting rides. With two new attractions coming for the 2024 season, The Jolly Robin swing boat ride and The Blackgang Beach water pillow plus the waterforce water slides, extinction and pirate barrel ride - you'll find adventures around every corner, something for all the family.
Book your 10-minute crossing to the Isle of Wight with Hovertravel and you'll be exploring the oldest theme park in the UK in no time!
