Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Arundel

"The Royal Pavilion is the city’s must-see attraction. The glittering party pad and palace of Prince George, later Prince Regent and then King George IV, it’s one of the most opulent buildings in England, and certainly the finest example of early 19th-century chinoiserie anywhere in Europe. It’s an apt symbol of Brighton’s reputation for decadence. An unimpressed Queen Victoria called the Royal Pavilion ‘a strange, odd Chinese place’, but for visitors to Brighton it’s an unmissable chunk of Sussex history."

"One of the symbols of Brighton, this flamboyantly iconic royal building is actually great for visiting with kids. You can buy a kids’ trail for a small fee (50p when we visited) spotting some of the animals dotted throughout the opulent rooms, or just amuse yourself finding all the dragons at the Royal Pavilion. And staff will actively encourage you to have a lie down on the carpet in the music room to see the chandelier rising to the gold patterned ceiling."

"Designed, manufactured & engineered by the makers of the London Eye, British Airways i360 is an observation tower by the Brighton Seafront, East Sussex and is 531ft high. The attraction cost £46 million in making and was aimed initially to attract over 739,000 paying visitors annually. From an enclosed viewing pod, the visitors can experience a 360-degree view of Brighton, the English Channel, the South Downs, and the Beachy add on a clear day to the east and the Isle of Wight on the west."

"With its observation pod rising to 138m up the 162m high tower, the i360 is the country’s highest observation tower outside London. Right on the seafront looking out to the old West Pier, there’s also a beachside cafe. On a clear day you can see for miles along the coast, with the city’s the best views since the Brighton ferris wheel was closed."

"A post shared by VisitBrighton (@visit.brighton) on Jan 21, 2019 at 1:57am PST. The i360 glides visitors 450 feet into the air for 360° views of the city, sea & countryside. From the pod you can get a seagull's view of Brighton, look out for rooftop artwork, the wind farm on the horizon as well as the stunning South Downs National Park."
