INSIDER KNOWLEDGE
1 Best Time for Boating
Visit the boating lake right when it opens on a sunny day for the calmest water and shortest queues.
2 Beat the Golf Queue
The Lost World Adventure Golf is very popular; tackling it first thing before queues build can save considerable waiting time.
3 Quieter Refreshments
The Greenhouse often offers a more relaxed spot for drinks and snacks compared to the main Clock Tower Cafe during busy periods.
INSIDER TIP
Ask the staff at the Boating Lake kiosk if they have any duck food available; sometimes they keep small bags behind the counter, even if not advertised.
About Tynemouth Park
Have a splashing time at Tynemouth Park, located right by the scenic Longsands beach! This family-friendly park offers a variety of fun activities.

Refuel at the Clock Tower Cafe overlooking the lake. It’s a great value destination for traditional seaside fun combined with park activities, perfect for a sunny afternoon.
