Our Grandson is 4 today, and we have promised that we will take him for a day out in Brighton. He loves the pier and mooching along the seafront, but does anyone have any other ideas of things that kids might like in Brighton. He's done the SeaLife centre a couple of times, so anything else?

Keep it clean please, I know what you wits (and halfwits) are like!

tweet Jiri Skalak, and arrange a playdate.

I am not sure on what attractions to see but a visit to Shakeaway in Bond Street will win you lots of grandparent points. If you're unaware they do milkshakes but they make them with whatever he fancies...mars bar, peanut butter, tic tacs...you name it, they've got it. My lads used to love that place when they were younger.

Drusillas? It's a bit out but it was always the classic for me as a kid, loved it to bits there. Plus middle farm is en route.

If you're looking for something more central there is the Kings Road playground or Peter Pan's playground, both on the seafront. Pottery painting in the north Laine, sweet shops in the lanes, Marrocco's ice cream in Hove, King Alfred's right next to that...

Tonnes of things a four year old would love!

Give Swansea City a call: they should have both their games last season against Crystal Palace on DVD.

Just thinking of rainy day ideas, y'know.

I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions for a good day out in the City, but I can recommend that you put his name down for a ST if you want him to sit next to you...

The Pier has a fantastic new soft play at the end. It's enormous and covers most of that dome. Combine that with carousel, cups & saucers, a few goes on the machines and a bag of doughnuts and you're laughing.

My daughter is 6 but her favourite day out is Pier in the morning (including the new soft play which is fantastic), DAYS for lunch then back across the road for a ride on the seafront merry-go-round and chucking stones in to the sea.
