wwwd Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Center Parks is grossly overpriced, but if you've got the cash then why not. Personally, I'd look online and visit a nice city with a few attractions (every major city has a 'visit' website, i.e. visitlondon.com), and then once you've picked a location go to lastminute.com and book a cheap (but nice) hotel. For instance, I went to London with the missus for the weekend and managed to stay in a 4 Star Hilton Hotel in a great location for only £75 for 2 nights. Obviously London isn't the best place to take a young child, but I'm sure there's somewhere ideal in the UK. Then I'd organise a few things in the place you choose. The visit websites have loads of information so you could do some real bonding by visiting the local zoo, going to the local science museum and doing some sightseeing there.

duffa Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 always hundreds of kids up @ haggerston Aaron .. depends on dates but some good deals >> click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRic Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Great news. I was going to suggest the same as Duffa. Either Haggerston or Berwick upon Tweed. It aint drastically far to travel and has most things to do on site. Entertainment for him during the day with various kids clubs, activities. Arcades, swimming pool. Close by is a farm (I forget the name) that we took the little ones to where they can feed all the animals. Edinburgh then around an hour or so further up the road if you wanted to take him to the zoo or such like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Disneyland paris is 150 quid per adult, 2 adults go and a child gets in free. So for 300 quid you get 2 nights in a hotel, 3 days at the park, and i think some food in there too. Look into it, it will more than likely work out cheaper than a night extra in britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
