Center parks with a 2 year old… worth it?!

Yes, however the one thing I would warn you is that the cleaning standards at centre parcs are very poor, so be prepared to clean the lodge and all kitchen bits yourself when you arrive. The pool, changing rooms etc however are appropriately cleaned.

Definitely, CP is fab. We used to go every year when the kids were young. Now we have 3, all in school, it's not affordable any more.

At that age you shouldn't even need to book any activities as the pool and park should keep them occupied.

If you can go midweek out of season then yes.

It is nice to have a place set up for kids and access. Not been to Sherwood but mine loved it when little.

But it depends how much it is a stretch of your budget. You don't have to pay for any extras when there but if you want to, food and activities are pretty pricey (though probably depends on your perspective and how much you usually spend eating out etc).

At two, Butlins or Haven will also be great fun for your child and better value but Center Parcs is nicer for adults.

If CP is a reasonable drive, we tend to book a cheap premier inn the night before and get there early so we can enjoy the pool on Monday afternoon as well. You can't get in your lodge till 4pm but you can do he check in and use facilities from much earlier and it avoids queuing.

We loved it when the kids were under school age. The pool and walks are all we needed and they were too young to nag for any of the paid for activities. Not been since they started school as it's too expensive in the holidays.

Depends on your 2 year old. We’ve just got back from Elveden and it was well worth it but then DS is such a little water baby that access to the pool made it completely worthwhile. We didn’t book many activities but he did the mini trek and loved that.
