Vue Cinema, Thurrock has 9 screens and 2024 seats.
It offers lounge style seating, a new 'evolution' screen with bean bags and couches, and both DTS and Dolby surround sound systems.
Vue has excellent disabled access to all screens and a loop system for the hard of hearing. They also host 'Kids AM' - special screenings on Saturdays and Sundays where kids and their parents can enjoy a family film together at the weekend.
Tickets are £1.50 per child and 1 adult goes free with every child - check out the latest releases at www.myvue.com
Family food
The Boardwalk is the ideal destination for families. With some restaurants open for breakfast and all restaurants open until late there's sure to be one to suit the whole family.
Choose from Partyman World, La Tasca, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Giraffe, Cafe Rouge, Bella Italia, Las Iguanas, Wagamama, Strada, Old Orleans, Nando's and Spur.
You'll find The Boardwalk at the end of Brompton Walk, on level 2.
Within Lakeside there is also PizzaExpress, Burger King, Café Giardino, McDonalds, M&S Kitchen, Healthy Eating Diner, Pizza Hut, Quiznos, Spreads Cafe, BBs Coffee & Muffins, Millies Cookies and more...
Identity Wristband
Most parents occasionally experience the terrible feeling at the very pit of their stomach when, during a trip out, their inquisitive child wanders off.
Thankfully, there is often a happy reunion once the parent has spent several frantic minutes of searching. To shorten this time and to ease the worry for parents, Identikids have developed a Wristband for children to wear. You can write your mobile number on so you can be contacted if you were ever to be separated.
Stockists include Boots, W H Smith and range from £6.00 for a pack of three.
Parent & baby rooms
Our award-winning parent and baby changing facility on Level 3 is one of the largest in the UK, with changing, feeding and playing facilities all laid on especially for you and your kids. We've also made sure it's separate from the womens loos - after all, Dad is just as likely to be left holding the baby.
Pushchairs & Tiny Taxis
Pushchairs are provided free of charge from our Shopmobility Desk in Car Park 10 on Level 2.
You'll find Tiny Taxis for hire at the centre (under the escalators by Debenhams, Level 1); these are miniature cars which are great for keeping the kids smiling while you shop. A form of ID will be required.
