Why not try a UK holiday Park this year for something different?

If you're travelling with a family especially a young one the holiday park could be just what you need. Parks such as Butlins and Haven Holidays have maybe been considered to be rather passé or tacky in the past but many have undergone a major refurbishment and the accommodation is basic but clean and serviceable and the amenities and entertainment on offer are second to none when it comes to children. Most of these parks have swimming pools and play areas, they put on shows in the evenings and in the peak season, tend to have major acts headlining. These holiday parks are typically located near the coast making it possible to have days out at the seaside as well as enjoy all the amenities on-site.

Another holiday park that is hugely popular with British families is Center Parcs. Typically accommodation takes the form of chalets and the pedestrian or bike only paths mean that it is a very safe environment. With indoor and outdoor swimming, a huge number of activities for every age, and onsite spa, restaurants, bars and cafe, this really is a good bet for those with young families. Center Parcs sites tend to offer activities that children (and adults) may not have tried before or get the opportunity to try such as archery and falconry. There are exercise classes for all ages, and kids clubs for the younger children. They are currently offering late deals from around £400 for a long weekend for a 2 bedroom lodge.
