Plenty inside to keep people of all ages amused and will give a welcome break from the beach and sun. I didn't have any food, but plenty of people were, so can't comment on that. I just played the 2p machines and my £2 lasted me a good while with regular wins. Will definitely go back next time I visit Walton. · via Google [Zeon Xavier](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109364872538432939467/reviews) ★★★★★ What in the world of screaming swans is going on here. Dark dingy and creepy to sum it up to start with. It seemed a little odd and staff just decide when they want to close. I had a budget of £50 to enjoy today and spent a mere £3 before being told arcades closing in 10 minutes and it was just after 6pm. Toilets a bit of an adventure away, 2p machines are hard to win anything on and seems almost too rigged. Unfortunately it just didnt make sense to me as a Patron as £5 jackpot machines in over 18s area. The biggest laugh I discovered during my visit is apparently an investment of £5,000,000 was done recently.. Not sure what exactly was invested as it is just one big dark room or an urban explorers dream. Sadly this pier is on the same star rating as Hastings pier... (and that's got absolutely nothing on it)... If they are gonna shut early dont dismay there is a warm and welcoming arcade seen less than 10 minutes walk to the right of the pier along the road.. Won't be returning and haven't ever experienced an experience like today. Be better off just putting everything into a shipping container and call that container Walton Pier. · via Google [Wendy Daniel-King](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101803206101483141432/reviews) ★★★★★ This is a very old pier. It was good to walk along, and see the coastline. The toilets were very much in need of renovation, but as stated, it's very old. People were fishing off this pier which was great to see. · via Google [Wheelchairman travels](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109946685248988217798/reviews) ★★★★★ I've given 5 stars mainly for the beautiful beach. It really is a lovely place. Its not a tourist attraction with loads to do but it fantastic for a day out. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d971e0c4a55dad:0x1783a77f302343eb!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this pier offers a wide variety of arcade games and rides, with wristbands providing good value, and features a clean beach and friendly staff.
