Dreamland Margate, Amusement park in Margate, England.
Dreamland Margate is an amusement park in Margate, England, that stretches across several acres of Kent coastline. The park offers thrill rides, classic carousel attractions, arcade games, and multiple entertainment areas that sit across the grounds.
The park opened in 1870 as a Victorian pleasure garden on former salt marsh land. Over the decades, the site transformed into an amusement park with mechanical rides, becoming one of the oldest of its kind in Britain.
The Scenic Railway rollercoaster from 1920 carries Grade II listed status and represents the classic British seaside tradition of the early twentieth century. Visitors today can ride its wooden track, still maintained using methods that preserve the character and charm of that era.
The park lies a short walk from Margate railway station and is easy to reach on foot or by local transport. During summer, the site often stays open until late evening, especially when music events take place, and several ticket options are available.
In 2015, the site reopened after a major restoration effort that gathered and rebuilt old rides from closed amusement parks across Britain. These collected attractions now give the park a nostalgic character that is hard to find elsewhere.
