Is there lots for them to to there?

DS and DD have birthdays within 3 weeks and its in winter and we do always do solo celebrations but someone mentioned here and I didnt know in between the two birthdays to go here?

Is there lots to do for these ages - and their birthdays are winter! So aside from usual wrap up if you go to theme parks etc is it still good?

It won’t be fully open/ to capacity for all rides.

We have a Merlin pass so went in the cold weather. Some rides were closed for Maintenace which made the ques for the open rides longer, even though there weren’t many people.

Gullivers land is also good for that age.

We’ve just been with two boys the same age and had a great time. One problem was that queues were long and we didn’t get to go on as many rides as we had hoped. But I expect the winter months may be less busy and shorter queues…?

We’ve done Chessington with those ages, albeit at the start of July and there was plenty to do and queuing wasn’t bad at all.

Not what you asked and depends on distance (it’s further for us, but well worth it) is Paulton’s Park/Peppa Pig World. We’ve been at the end of October for the last three years!
