Center Parcs at Easter

3 replies

I know Center Parcs isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I took preschooler DD to Woburn just before Easter this year and we both loved it so I'm booking again for next year.

She'll be in reception by then so ideally I would take her in the Easter holidays, but I'm a bit worried that it might be so busy and rowdy with "big kids" that we don't enjoy it as much. Can anyone advise what it's like in the holidays? Would it be better to take her at Feb half term? Or take a week off school (she'll be over 5 so I'd have to send her in for the Monday morning session and leave at lunchtime so we don't get fined).

NB, I know people are likely to suggest other Center Parcs locations/European Centre Parcs, but these aren't an option for us unfortunately.

Also, the price difference between term time and school holidays is actually minimal for us, as if I took her during the term then I'd have to work during the holidays and pay for holiday club 🙃

Thanks!

We just got back from Elveden Forest, 4 nights in half term and I have a 6 year old and 2 year old. There were still a lot of little kids there, didn't feel overwhelmed with loads of big kids in the pool or anything although of course there were teenagers around on the bigger slides but they certainly weren't in the spalsh area 🤣 I honestly didn't notice anything else other than a load of families all with varying ages, from little ones to big ones - I think you'd be fine at Easter!

Thank you! I think I'll go for it 😊
