DS has his first school trip today, to the local snow centre of all places :o

His teacher did admit she probably wouldnt have arranged it if she had known we would have so much snow, but she booked it back in October!

anywaaaay, it was £9, which is fine, but all of the parents, including me, assumed it was a full day thing. Taking into account that they never leave before 9:30am and always factor in half an hour on the way back for delays so they would be back by about 2:30, and it is 45 minutes each way. Even allowing only 15 minutes getting on and off the coach, into the place etc, that is 3 hours there, including time for lunch.

But they are going to be back by lunch time which is 12:30! It hardly seems worth it, as they will barely have an hour there and £9 for 1 hour running around in the snow seems a bit much! AIBU in wondering whether its worth it both time and money wise?

Oh dont get me wrong, he would still have gone, but I would also still be thinking that it is a hell of alot of buggering about, and not an insignificant amount of money, for an hour!

Nope. These places are notoriously expensive. You pay over the odds to have a half hour snowball fight Smile

I'm sure your DS will enjoy it though.
