I am about to book this for a couple of weeks time, and wondered if anyone had been recently.....is the funfair any good, and are the rides included ?

    No you pay for the rides and its only very small, about 10 stalls/rides, or was when we went a few months ago x
    If it ain't reduced, i don't buy it! :j

    However as long as you get decent accomodation its a good place for a family holiday and there is plenty to do in town ( in season).

    Rides are included in the price,however you do have to pay for go-karting.We go every christmas.There arent many rides but you can play snooker,darts and swimming pool all free.

    I have been a number of times over the last couple of years and as some of the posters have previously said you don't pay for the rides, only Bouncy Castle and Go-Karts.

    Most things are included in the price and i think it is really great value for money and the kids love it!!

    You will have a great time!

    The rides in the fair are NOT included! The four kids rides in Bobs barn are included but they certainly weren't in the funfair. We went in March and this was very much the case then.

    WRONG.

    If you are staying in Butlins accommodation all the rides are free.
