"Before going on I must qoute "Experience a whole range of attractions for all the family!"

The Needles Park is the Isle of Wight's premier visitor attraction and is situated at Alum Bay overlooking the Island's most famous landmark, The Needles Rocks and Lighthouse. Every year, nearly half a million people visit to view these jagged chalk stacks and lighthouse, the unique multi coloured sand cliffs and enjoy the Park's facilities, including the spectacular chairlift." (From Needles site.)

The Needles is situated in the South west of the Isle of white if you ever go to Isle of white you must visit.

There is no entrance fee but you pay for things as you use them and car park is £3 all day. There is the chairlift which for all you brave people out there can go down the multi coloured cliff, and there are 4 fair like stands (Shoot the string, shoot the sweets, knock the cans down and basketball lol) they are £2 each and when you move further on you can go in and phurchase a shaped bottle and go fill it will all different sands (That was cool lol) and they will seal it up for you. There is a big amusement arcade there lol suprise suprise and all manner or different little shops , confectinary and clothes and general bits and bobs adnd suoveneiers.

There are also 3 mains mini attractions on site (Alum bay sand shop, alum bay glass and sweet manafacuary).Plus there are a few kids things like mini golf etc.

Next to car park there is a national trust site with amazing views as you walk along the cliff.

Overall v.good day out 9/10

Oh but please take plenty money with you , trust me.
