Well, that depends on how you enjoy spending your free time. But when you’re travelling with kids, we’d recommend looking for swimming pools (and waterslides), excellent facilities, onsite entertainment and plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. Here are some of the best family holiday parks in the UK.
1. The best family holiday park for activities: Center Parcs
One of the most popular family holiday parks in the UK, Center Parcs is our top pick for families who like to stay busy.
Each of the six Center Parcs villages sits in hundreds of acres of picturesque countryside and boasts unique characteristics, from towering redwoods at Center Parcs Longleat to the inquisitive red squirrels at Whinfell Forest in the Lake District.
2. The best dog-friendly holiday parks: Parkdean Resorts
