Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Nigel MDorset, UK26 contributionsWe visited this on a rainy morning in November, so the exterior probably didn’t look its best, but still impressive. We were lucky to get a 2for1 entrance deal which made it very good value. However, when you see and hear about the restoration work that has and is happening, I can see how the standard £19 fee is justified.
The interior is spectacular, particularly the banqueting room. The Christmas trees and the miniature mice dioramas added some extra atmosphere and fun to the visit. A great way to spend a couple of hours.Written 19 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had a map and know we missed some of them. So glad we went, please go, you won't believe how wonderful they are.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Coastal349363167501 contributionI visited Brighton with my school on september 26th . and we were there for a couple hours.
After an hour bus rit we arrived at Brighton. We needed to do some online exercises in the city such as taking a picture with the upside down house, the kiss wall and many more. The upside down house was very entertaining to look at and me and my friends took a funny picture in front of the house.
We lunched at a taco-restaurant. I ordered a taco with guacamole. It was delicious and the wait time was not that long so for me the restaurant was approved!
Me and my friends walked trough the city and visited a mall, we loved strolling around and looking at shop windows.
The last and maybe the most fun thing we visited was The Palace pier commonly known as 'Brighton pier'. On the pier there are a bunch of attractions. Its like a little amusement park. The Brighton pier is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is a must visit when your in Brighton.
I really enjoyed my time in this wonderful city. If you like the beach, but also want to experience the city life, Brighton is definitely something for you. When in the UK Brighton is a must visit city!Written 12 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Usual mix of arcade, over priced donuts and other sweet snacks, a quite pricey pleasure part for kids at the end and some great views of the sea and sea front. Mind the seagulls as they will steal your food. Gets super busy with teens in the evening. They do make an effort but it won’t be for everyone. I enjoyed my £3 of 2p slots. May have been £4 but £1 to get inWritten 26 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gemma BGreat Wyrley, UK37 contributionsWhilst we were in Brighton we thought why not! Great views, staff were nice and friendly. Only gripe was a few of the panes of glass in the pod had cracks in them which had me a little worried. Nice to have a couch to sit on to enjoy the journey into the sky. Drinks are pricey as you'd expect but snack prices were ok.Written 11 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- zuvBucharest, Romania38,262 contributionsA kind of bazaar. An area full of life, full of color. There are a lot of small shops that sell all kinds of products, generally artisanal or small series. Antiques, vintage products and much more. Buildings full of graffiti, cafes, small bars and indescribable crowds. An area with a good vibe.Written 19 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kat H1 contributionHad a lovely time hanging out with the gliders. A very educational talk and you can see the gliders are very well taken care of. Holding them for pouch time was a really memorable experience and me and my partner absolutely loved meeting them all. We even got given a complimentary sticker when we mentioned it was our birthdays - overall a great experience with lovely people and an unforgettable animal.Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Loved this, but didn't suprise me. As said alwwys a safe choice :)Written 8 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Helen B30 contributionsI’ve been coming here for over 40 years so I’m biased but it really is a beautiful spot. The views are spectacular but also a fantastic place to have a walk and blow the cobwebs awayWritten 29 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- therichastillStevenage, UK3,457 contributionsBeneath the cliffs along the Sussex seafront there are paths to take you alongside the beach.
Within Brighton there are different paths some on the same level as the beach and some are a bit higher.
The ones next to the seafront are well maintained however when I visited in January 2024 one of the paths higher up the cliff was closed.
You get some lovely views of the beach and the surrounding area including the piers and the marina.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The history of the club, the dream of where the club can be, and the family feel of the club is amazing
We really highly recommend doing this tour. Whether your fan of Brighton or not, it shows how far our “little” club has come and how strong we are.Written 24 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great day out.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
