Does the boat still go through the gardens on the canal? We went on one some years ago, and it had an interesting power/ steering system. I think it might have been a Hotchkiss Cone system. Thanks.
Are you talking about the canal at the back of the beach?
When you say Gardens it lost me a bit, I wouldn’t say it went through Gardens more waste land at the back of the beach if it’s the one I’m thinking of.
If it’s the curvaceous canal where the old paddling pool used to be, that passes by Skegness Pier Field and goes up to north parade where X-Site Skate Park and the Seal Sanctuary is, Then yes it still runs
It was closed for about 3 – 4 years due to new legislation that said people operating the canal had to have a licence, but last year 2010 it was re-opened.
It’s been took over I believe by the company that runs the Tower Cinema
Prices last year was I think £2 per passenger on the boats.
I’ll try to find out how much it will cost this year.
Sorry for the long winded replay :)
I hope this helped

Is there much open in Skegness in March? I’m looking to come up on the weekend of 19th/20th March with my 10yr old soon and was wondering if the crazy golf and arcades will be open.
Coming from the midlands and dont want to make a wasted journey if nothing is open!!
Thanks
Hi,
I saw the crazy golf was open today 18th March the pirate themed one on south parade all the Arcades are open and Natureland seal sanctuary is open all year round.
Everything else like Bottons pleasure beach and other attractions are still closed in Skeg there usually fully open for the Easter Holidays until September.
It’s not to bad in Skeg to find something to do for little Kids the new arcade opposite the Embassy Theatre has a nice soft play area and a whole floor with loads of arcade games designed for the little ones.
there’s always the beach, bring your wellies and you can still have fun in the sea even in the cold water in March :)
Hope this helps
