Calling all fairies, pirates, sheriffs, and dinosaur hunters – a whole day of fun awaits at Blackgang Chine Adventure theme park on the south of the island. You can choose to jump on a ride, fly down a water slide, or gather your posse for a Wild West showdown. Dare to enter Area 5 and discover moving dinosaurs in the undergrowth, or spot a pair of mischievous T-Rex babies roaming around the park. Catch a glimpse of tiny wings fluttering behind a toadstool in Fairyland, or bravely defend your ship in Pirate Cove. There’s so much to enjoy, climb, see, and discover, making this a top day out.
History buffs can immerse themselves in the past by visiting Carisbrooke Castle, Osborne House (Queen Victoria's former residence), and the Roman Villa in Brading. The island's maritime heritage is showcased at the intriguing Shipwreck Centre and Maritime Museum.

Being an island of just 147 square miles, you’re never far away from a fun-filled day of activities out on the water. The sandy shores and great waves of Compton are perfect for surfing, or you can learn to kayak with the kids in the safe sheltered shallows of Puckpool Park. For a more relaxing day on the water, nothing beats baiting a hook and casting a line, so whether you prefer freshwater, shore, or beach fishing – there are plenty of places to sit back and wait for a bite.
