Unfortunately Bottons closes down in September and reopens in march, about the only attractions open at that time are the arcades

This is one area Skegness and other seaside towns fail for a plausible all year round holiday experience.

Skegness needs many more events, festivals and indoor attraction so it can happily accommodate holiday makers in the colder months to survive in the modern world of all year round holidays.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Couldn’t agree more, but you try and tell greedy attraction owners if they charge less they will earn more.

The concept goes right over there heads, they don’t want to take the risk of earning less full stop, even though you and I know that if you give people a bargain they will come back for more and as a bonus will inadvertently spend money using other facilities for food etc..

We’ve lived in Skeg 5 years and have only used the Log Flume twice due to cost.

An interesting observation, that the owners must never noticed is that even though there is no one on the log flume there is always a crowd watching the empty carriages go around.

It’s so packed with people watching that you can’t get passed.

Makes me laugh every year, is Skegness that boring

I guess the owner aren’t that business savvy, just think of the money if all the people watching was actual riders

Personally I think the best things to do in Skegness are the things that are free, a walk across the beach first thing in the morning is something no money can buy and no attraction can top.

Unfortunately as far as I’m aware there is no money off offers at Bottons.

I’m not sure about the all day ticket, we’ve never used it, but the evening ticket prices start at 5pm till 10pm.

Best bet is to give them a call.

if you get a full day rist band, does it include the evening, or is it just all day. also, what time does the ‘evening’ rist bands start and finish?

Just put a post on a different title but equally applies here, couldn’t agree more with Kelly, as the Log Flume ride is continuously going round all the time with at least 95% of the carriages empty, why the heck do they charge so much for people to go on it, if they charged less, they’d get more wet bums on the seats and earn much more in the way of finances and publicity, that way people may also spend more time and money in the amusement park and I ain’t no Einstein??
