Fearless Freddy currently has an Italian Chef from Sydney, who does great authentic pastas and pizzas. The dining experience isn’t amazing, it is basic, but we certainly enjoy the food. Maybe a better takeaway option to eat back at Beach Haven, which we typically do.

We recently visited the Serpentarium with our children and it was superb. Make sure you visit between 12.00 - 1.00pm to see the snake show, which gives people opportunities to handle the snakes (definitely wasn’t my scene!). It is small with only a small number of reptiles, but the experience for our children was well worth it and we were there for over an hour. A great rainy day activity. In St Helens.
