Hello,

Were off to centre parcs in February half term family of 4 with our relatives - as a first timer any helpful info for us to know? We're staying in lodges, we have no idea what the weather will be like, will be cold i know that so will have to work around that but are there any must do activities or things we should prioritise doing, my kids are 4 and 5

We already go on long walks so im looking forward to exploring the forest. I think we will be cooking most days there 5 nights but if there are any great recommendations for restaurants that would be helpful, I cant book activities until late November

Thanks all!

That I spelt center and parcs wrong...

I'm sorry you thought I was complaining about your spelling. I would never do that!
Hopefully it has all become clear now why the comment was made and you get the proper answers that you were looking for from the sensible lot on here
Sorry OP. A choc chip cookie for you 🍪 as an apology.

Oh yes- a few kitchen bits like dish washer tablets and a couple of extra tea towels is a good idea.
We take games too- cards etc for playing on the lodge.
Also- you have to take your own towels to the pool- not allowed to take theirs taht will be in the chalet.

Take a Gousto box, then you don't need to take all the spices etc.
Always take your own snacks.
Keep in mind everything is more expensive than you think and is designed to make you spend more than you intend.
Everything adds up quickly.

Look out for extra costs.
Ultimately, the pool is really good though.
Bring your own essentials.
Enjoy it!

That Gousto box hack is genius. I’ll definitely be doing that in future.
