Very beautiful naturist place. The staff were all very friendly, answering all of our questions and giving information about the area. We were told the walk to the waterfall was 15 mins, but it took us seven. The waterfall had a smaller flow than expected, and climbing the steps to the top was easy going with a place to stop part of the way up. When we got to the top, the only place to go was through the exit or back down. The good thing was the tickets were good for seven days revisit. So we exited. We took a few pictures and discovered we were just near the restaurant we had visited days before that served me food with a bug crawling through it. We also noticed the waterfall was being polluted with green tainted water, coming from the direction of that restaurant (the crab and something??? That's the impression it left on me.) Anyway, the green water looked like antifreeze. We reported it to the staff member at the top gate and he thought it was coming from the restaurant also. He took pictures to report it, saying the waterfall gets tested regularly, as it flows into the ocean between the Isle of Wight and France. Other than that, it was a very well maintained park. Loved the dinosaur statues and large eggs. Kids will love it. Parents and other adults will get something out of the museum and antiques you can purchase. I came away with a 1937 coronation photo book of King George Vl and Queen Elizabeth. With it was the outer covering it was posted in with its original stamp in perfect condition. There was so much... picture of queen Victoria and her children... a cloth map of the area beautifully preserved... Toby jugs and so much more. There is also a tea room to purchase some food and drink from. Come with some form of payment. You will want to buy.

Shanklin chine is a beautiful and romantic attraction showcasing the natural chine and waterfalls. There is a small charge to enter which I think was around £6 per person however cannot confirm this. There is no parking inside the attraction however just outside the top entrance, there is car parking up to a maximum of 3 hours which you do have to pay for. The chine is a beautiful walk down hill (very steep) with steps and bridges to cross the natural waterfall and rivers. They have a variety of lights which come on around 7pm which just makes the attraction just that more magical. The chine is full of lots of historical plants and museum plaques explaining the history of the chine and the island around it. There is also a cafe at the bottom of the chine where you can grab a drink or a light bite to help you get back up the chine, alternatively, there is an exit at the bottom and you can go through shanklin to get back to the car park. There is also a beautiful view of the sea at the bottom which you can view on a built up perch. There are also lots of seats around the chine incase you struggle with inclines and steps.

Visited last year with my family, including my two grandma's. Both my grandma's were in wheelchairs, and are 84 and 92. One has 2 bandaged legs and can't walk due to ulcers. There is NO way they can walk up the Chine, which we knew as we have been many times before, my grandma even came when she was a child. There are rough grounds which the wheelchairs can't cover, and hundreds of steps. This was perfectly fine, they just wanted to sit and have a cup of tea and a slice of cake and wait for us to walk around the chine. However, due to "insurance reasons", both of my grandmas were charged the full price just for being pushed in their wheelchairs to the cafe about 20m past the entrance.. We were really disappointed in this. They still patronised the business by buying tea and cake, which we told the ticket staff. But they were very rude and sharp with us when we asked why they should pay full price if they can't physically walk, can't experience the chine at all, and just wanted to sit in the cafe. They said they might get up out of their chairs and get around the chine for free. Which quite frankly was ridiculous to suggest. You'd know by looking they would never be able to get down even the first set of steps. They have added Dinosaur models and big eggs nestled into the sides of the chine. The sides of the Chine are collapsing so I'm not sure why putting massive eggs up there is a good idea.. perhaps why the insurance is needed? It was looking very shabby compared to how it used to, barricades and old sheds laying about. Perhaps they are trying to copy the success of other Dinosaur themed places of the island to bring in new visitors, but the funds could have been better used elsewhere. I hope they are able to update it. It was such a shame because we loved the Chine, and have been coming for many many years. But staff attitude and unreasonableness has unfortunately meant we won't be coming back.

This place is satisfactory (mainly for kids and teens in my opinion) It’s got a little hype for nothing due to bid adverts, visitor and mainly due to the name of the place. I am not denying fact and history behind but it’s little more ££ to view place like this. The water fall is just a house’s drain and some mixture of mountains valley… I went all the way to check and someone’s houses or kitchen or bath’s bubbles joins the water and makes it white bubble as the water fall. All those green smaller to medium size plants are good but not many unique.. some do have good uniqueness. The lighting is made effect. Little better at night in terms of viewing as multiple colour light bring little energy to the chine. The ticket gives return access free of charge up to 7 days from the date of purchase. There are free parking outside and you have walk to Shanklin Chine toward downstairs. Waking or Running Trainers are recommended. Pushchairs and Disabled Chair is not recommended to visit the whole chine but you are welcomed up to Tea/Shop front. (But you have to buy ticket to enter £9.50) I think the tickets are expensive… it’s not worth more £3.50. There are hundreds of coastal path all throughout the Isle of Wight free of charge 10x better with some with best sea view (Yarmouth - Coastal Path)
