Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier is set to increase its admission charge from £1 to £2 next month.
The increase is due to "rising inflation and the growing costs of preserving a Grade II listed building".
In hundreds of comments under our story on Facebook, readers expressed hesitation about the increased fee, with some expressing they "will never go there again.”
We visited The Grand Pier to learn what it had to offer and whether it was worth the cost.

00:00Western Supermares Grand Pier is set to increase its admission fees from next month.
00:11Let's find out what this attraction has to offer and if it's still worth visiting.
00:30I was impressed at the size and slightly overwhelmed at the interior of the Grand Pier.
00:35The venue appeared to be a combination of an arcade and a small theme park, with over 500 arcade games.
00:42Overall, it was a fun experience and a good plan out, especially on a rainy or cold day.
00:48There was a wide range of arcade games, some of which I've never seen before.
00:52However, this comes at an additional cost if you want to visit.
00:56As for the rides, they felt overpriced and some, like the Mirror Maze, were rather disappointing.
01:02However, there are a wide response available on weekends and during North Sunset school holidays,
01:08including bank holidays, which makes the experience much more affordable from £11.50 for the whole day.
