to ask why all family tickets 2+2 - I mean how many people have 3 kids or more? It's not exactly unusual is it?

[PeasForTeaAgain]

I know its 2.4 (OR 2.2?) kids average - but surely that's an average worked out from all the people in the UK, not those of childbearing age, or something?!!

I am getting so frustrated! Are there any companies who specialise in things to do/places to go/tickets or families with 3 kids or more?? Half my town seems to have 3 kids and it just doesn't make any sense!

HELP!

ps - yes I know the park is free. I live there (under the slide, that's me)

It is annoying when you have one child and two parents.

Go with a friend?

I think the average is about 1.8 but that's no help really ...

DOn't know why it's usually 2+2 but I did notice that Nene Valley railway is 2+3 if you're anywhere near there ...

It's not that unusual - we have two DDs but there's also DSD who's with us intermittently - the majority of families are probably in that situation too, I'd have thought, with a 'non-standard' number of children to get into events with.

I can't think of many places that don't do 2+2 though - in the mists of memory I'm sure sealife centres have the option of 2+2 or 1+3, or other combos.

It annoys me particularly at the cinema - you tend to take more kids to less adults, and they deliberately ignore that, IMO.

I can make a trip to Nene Valley - thanks for that!

georgiemum, you are right, so many other people combo's I didn't think of. Good point. Would you like to borrow one of my kids to up your numbers

Seriously, though, I can't find any info out there that would help Are there any websites for people with one child?

Perhaps the simplest thing would be for attractions/cinemas etc to apply a percentage discount to groups of 3 or more - maybe with the discount growing as the party size grows?
