If you have young kids Panda's Palace is ace (i used to go myself 20-25 years ago!). Think it's around £4-5, adults are free and you can go in and out as many times as you like. It's ideal if the weather is on and off.

go into butlins for the day

If you are not staying at Butlins as above go for the day its great, although most of the pool attractions are shut or have been removed at the moment for the refurb

Kids are free using the voucher: http://www.visittheseaside.com/vouchers/

There are a few other vouchers there too to use.

Fantasy Island is a horrible place but the rides are good, it's just down the road from Skegness and Butlins. It's free entry, so you only pay for your rides or wristbands and they acept Tesco vouchers.

If you are after any fake goods, Then the market next door has the biggest selection of chavtasic & counterfit items in europe.

Don't go there, it is the worst soft play in Skegness, it is very run down and in a state of disrepair, I would never visit there again. The best ones are in Lucky Strike, £4.50 per child or the soft play in the pier.

If the weather is fine there is a childs play area on the front, about £4 per child and there are a couple of bouncy castles and a huge slide, swing boats, cozy coupe cars etc, only trouble is there are no toilets.

Behind the boating lake there is a childrens pool area which is one of the best features in Skegness, great for kids and doesn't cost anything. At the other side of the pier there is an outdoor play area with small zip slide.

Parrot Zoo is just out of Skegness, costs to get in but it's great for a few hours out and they usually have a free mini bus running (seats are limited)

The Hildreds shopping centre usually have booklets dotted around and these have money saving vouchers or search on internet and you can usually print out vouchers to take with you.

We are going in June too for a couple of weeks to my parents caravan, we have a 6 year old who likes to do everything in one day!
