If you decide to visit Skegness and stay at the Merrydale Hotel you will only be two minutes walk from the world famous Skegness Natureland Seal Sanctuary located on Skegness sea front.
The Natureland Seal Sanctuary has been open since 1965 and gets thousands of visitors every year. But there is lots more than just seals, the butterfly house and the coral fish are big attractions. The Natureland Seal Sanctuary is known all over the world for its work in saving abandoned baby seals and has helped put Skegness on the map as a world leader in conservation. Its not only seals that they help, dolphins and whales, a lost walrus and a pelican have all been helped and returned to the wild. You can find out more about the Natureland Seal Sanctuary at www.skegnessnatureland.co.uk or contact them at info@skegnessnatureland.co.uk telephone 01754 764345. And that's only two minutes walk from the Merrydale Hotel. Next door to the Natureland Seal Sanctuary is the Sun Castle pub, a family friendly place that serves food and has a childrens play area. The Sun Castle also puts on entertainment at different times of the year so caters for all the family.
The Merrydale Hotel is also only two minutes walk from the Famous Embassy Theatre on Skegness sea front. The Embassy Theatre attracts many top groups and entertainers from all over the world with shows put on most of the year. The Embassy Theatre also has its own bar ( not as cheap as the bar at the Merrydale Hotel ) so you can have a drink during the interval with your family or friends and chat about the show so far. After the show you may wish to call into one of the two bars connected to the Embassy Theatre on Skegness sea front, Harveys and the Litten Tree. Both are family friendly pubs during the day and serve food most of the time, but at night they become part of the Skegness party life with music and dancing. You can contact the Embassy Theatre on 0845 674 0505 or visit there web site www.embassytheatre.co.uk . So why not take in a show at the Embassy Theatre when you stay at the Merrydale Hotel Skegness. With the Natureland Seal Sanctuary and the Embassy Theatre only a short walk from each other on Skegness sea front, and both only two minutes walk from the Merrydale Hotel you can really understand why the Merrydale Hotel has such an ideal location.
Between the Natureland Seal Sanctuary and the Embassy Theatre is the Pier Amusement Arcade. Again this attraction is only two minutes walk from the Merrydale Hotel on Skegness sea front. The Pier Amusement Arcade has its own café and any number of games and machines to play on. Its prime location on Skegness sea front makes the Pier Amusements a must visit for all ages. If you want more fun then next door to the Pier Amusements is Bottons Pleasure Beach and Amusement Arcade. Bottons Pleasure Beach is one of the oldest attractions on Skegness sea front with plenty rides to keep the kids happy and no end of machines and games to play. Stay at the Merrydale Hotel and all this is only two minutes walk away on Skegness sea front and when you return to the Merrydale Hotel at night you can put your feet up and relax with a drink or cup of tea or coffee, all at cheap prices at the Merrydale Hotel bar.
Skegness sea front and Skegness town centre have several other amusement arcades and all are only a few minutes walk from the Merrydale Hotel. Just across the road from the Embassy Theatre is a new arcade built after the fire that destroyed part of Skegness sea front. This is another must visit place on Skegness sea front with two floors of machines and games for all the family as well as two café's to eat in. Its 2p machines are a big attraction if you have kids to keep happy but do not work as a top banker ( should that start with a B ). All the Arcades on Skegness sea front and Skegness town centre stay open late during the summer months as do the shops and bars.
The Merrydale Hotel is an ideal base from which you can explore all these attractions and many more on Skegness sea front and Skegness town centre without having to take buses, taxies or walk for miles. Right next to the new amusement arcade is Skegness park with its duck pond and picnic area, ideal to relax in on those hot sunny days ( yes we do get some hot sunny days ). At the Merrydale Hotel you can order a picnic to take out with you, helping to keep costs down when you stay in Skegness. Or why not call in to one of the fish and chip shops next to the Skegness Clock Tower on Skegness sea front for a traditional sea side take away.No matter what your taste you will find it on the sea front at Skegness.
Of course a visit to Skegness is not complete without a walk along Skegness beach , or build a sandcastle with the kids. The seaside has always been a fun place for children and adults to visit and play or even swim. Don't worry if you forget your sun cream there are any number of shops on Skegness sea front or Skegness town centre were you can buy some. Why not take a ride on a donkey along Skegness beach or take a horse and carriage ride along Skegness sea front. At the Merrydale Hotel you are never far from any of these attractions and you can pop back for a quick rest if things get to hectic. As the Merrydale Hotel is only a few minutes walk from Skegness sea front and Skegness town centre its handy to call back when and if you like, it's the perfect place to chill out for a short while before heading back in to Skegness. Stay at the Merrydale Hotel and you get all the advantages and none of the rowdy noise of a Skegness sea front hotel.
What more could you ask for. If you like shopping then Skegness town centre has plenty of shops and the Hildreds shopping centre. Take a walk up chip pan ally, so called because of the number of fish and chip shops along it at one time, now it has a vast variety of different shops and places to eat and drink and yes it still has what Skegness is famous for, Fish and Chip shops. You can also visit Fantasy Island fair ground and market in Ingoldmelds village only 6 miles from Skegness. The market is one of the biggest seven days a week markets in Europe and there's always a bargain or cheap deal to be had. You can catch the bus to Fantasy Island just around the corner from the Merrydale Hotel or in Skegness town centre and at several points along Skegness sea front, with the journey taking about 10 minutes. You could take the car, but parking at Fantasy Island costs about five pounds per day and you will need a full day to see it all. Across the road to Fantasy Island behind some shops is a small market called Glen Park, its worth a quick look around. Ingoldmelds village itself is only a short walk up the road from Fantasy Island and also has a small market, the Merrydale Hotel has a stall on this market selling music Cds, so call in and say hello or have a coffee and listen to the music. Also in Ingoldmelds village you could have a drink in the Moody Cow ( think the guy named it after his wife ) or Ship Inn, both serve food if you have had enough of fish and chips. If you do go to Fantasy Island and Ingoldmelds by car then park close to the village itself and you will save money as its only two or three pounds a day and it is only a few minutes walk down the road to Fantasy Island.
If you like entertainment then Fantasy Island will keep you happy, with live shows in Scally Wags bar and plenty other bars and places to eat once you've had your fill of the rides and market. And Fantasy Island and Ingoldmelds village are only a ten minute bus ride from the Merrydale Hotel in Skegness. Across the road to Fantasy Island is the Villager Pub with live entertainment and food service, and just a mile or so from Fantasy Island is Hardy's Animal Farm. There is so much to do and see in Ingoldmelds its not only Fantasy Island, you should take the time to see all the other places.

Butlins is a full day out in itself with many rides and shows to keep the whole family entertained and you can see the roller coasters of Fantasy Island from the Butlins camp as they are only a few minutes walk apart. The Butlins camp at Skegness is one of the oldest holiday camps in the country with a great tradition for family holidays. There has been a lot of investment by Butlins in its Skegness holiday park that will make sure it will always be at the front when drawing visitors. As Butlins and Fantasy Island are so close together the journey times from the Merrydale Hotel in Skegness are about the same. Butlins does have its own car park if you want to go by car, not sure how much Butlins charges to park or if its included in a Butlins day pass.
