Question about Butlins...AGAIN!

complexo · 01/08/2012 20:51

So with no passports and no car plus taking time off at the last minute, we decided on Butlins Bognor Regis for the 1st time.
I couple and a 5 year old girl. 7 nights, all sorted.
Now I just would like to know if it is worth buying the Action Pass/Leisure Pass and Adrenaline Pass and whether my 5 year old will be able to enjoy:
Bungee trampoline (This one I think so)/Go Karts/Climbing Wall/High Ropes/Free fall...
Also if we can take part in these activities many times throughout our stay or only once?
I know I can call them and ask about it but I wouldlike to know what people who have been there think about these activities that we need to pay extra...
Plus any other tip/advice regarding the site.
TIA

They both sound too young for High Ropes, at Minehead I'm sure the minimium age was 12 at least. I wouldn't buy extra passes, there is plenty to do anyway with the funfairs and swimming and entertainment.

If the weather's good you can go onto the beach which is sandy after high tide - you may find with the swimming pool and free rides and shows (!) that you will not need extra passes.
My children are older and we've only been for day trips but we've spent at least 3 hours in the pool.

I wouldn't book any extras at this stage, wait until you get there. There are indoor and outdoor play areas, shows etc, infact so much for children to do. Look it up on trip advisor and read what other people with similar aged children recommend.

At 5 yrs old, you won't need to buy any passes, she'll love everything which is on offer, especially the shows in the Skyline and the fairground. it's amazing how quickly time goes when you are there. We are off there again next week, 5 yr running :)

No not at all. You can just walk past the trampolines and they won't even notice them because there is so much else going on.

I also think 5yo is too young for some of those activities ie they won't allow them on.

The schedule is also packed full to the brim with daytime magic shows animal shows etc there really is so much to do.
