Anyone know how much it costs to pay for guests to enter Center Parcs?

[ricekrispi]

We can't afford a holiday but a lovely friend has offered for me and the DC to join her at Center Parcs when she and her family are on holiday there. She is the kind of friend who will try to wave away any payment and I can't allow her to do that but I have no idea how much it costs - can someone tell me please? Is it per family? Per adult/child?

It’s same price for adult and child and price varies on availability and time of year. I’ve paid £45 pp on a week day in feb (not half term) and believe in the holidays/weekend it’s £65pp from 10am-midnight.

there’s limited availability each day and they go quick!

This is fairly recent so the prices should be the same/similar.

Ah I thought adult/child was same price happy to be proven wrong!

It probably varies by location/time of year!

If their lodge is under occupied it wouldn't cost anything to add your names on even though you are not staying over. Not suggesting you should suggest this , but they may do this to get you in for the day.

Oh wow I would have thought they could just drive and pick you up and bring you in. Assuming a day visit. But then I hate Center parcs so am not up on their policies 😄 Classic CP to charge for every little thing 😄

@wormshuffled Oh perhaps she will? I don't know whether it is or not.

@PerspiringElizabeth I think years ago, it was free. I guess those who pay £££ to have a holiday there shouldn't have to share the facilities with unpaying guests.

Thanks @TheGriffle! I expect Center Parcs has dynamic pricing that shoots up during the holidays

I should mention that she means join them for a day trip - the one she is going to is only an hour or so away and we are happy to get up early/go home late.

Obviously they're going to charge for people to come for the day and use stuff like the swimming pool. Hotels with pools don't allow non-paying guests to come in and use it for the day.
