UK resort with attractions ‘better than Center Parcs’ brings back £1 kids’ tickets

Entertaining your kids is a full-time — and very expensive — job.

But popular holiday park Butlin’s if offering a solution, with the return of its popular £1 offer.

During term time, a child’s day pass normally costs £11, but thanks to this deal, up to four kids can go for just £1 each with every full-paying adult ticket (from £15).

At all three resorts – Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness – tots can be entertained with everything from live shows and fairground rides to the chain’s beloved water parks.

There are some conditions though. The offer is only valid until May 22 and it only applies to visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the month.

Last admission to the parks is 2pm, so it won’t be one for school-aged kids — but it could be a cheap way to keep nursery-aged toddlers busy.

But despite the stipulations, there’s plenty for your little one to enjoy on a day out to Butlin’s, whether they prefer shows like Peppa Pig’s Dance Party and the Tots Disco or the prehistoric-themed Dino Expo exhibition.

Also included in the £1 ticket is the brand-new, 3,000 square feet Skyline Gang Soft Play in Bognor Regis or SKYPARK playgrounds at the other two locations.

And if all that wasn’t enough, you’ll get unlimited fairground rides and access to Splash Waterworld too.

Reviews from satisfied families speak for themselves, with one parent on Reddit writing: ‘The pool and the beach is all we wanted and they are living up to expectations, in fact the pool is better than Center Parcs for our age kids (4-year-old and 18-month-old).’

‘There were non-stop things to do,’ commented another, while a third added: ‘Food court is good value, activities are amazing for kids (some of the musical stuff etc is good for adults). Swimming is ace.’

The entrance fee isn’t the only thing you can save your hard-earned cash on, either.

For an additional £1, your child can enjoy a meal from the kid’s menu between 12pm and 3pm. Be aware however, you’ll need to buy your own adult meal to get the discount lunch (and check that your restaurant of choice is part of the promotional deal).
