RHYL

All I can tell you about Rhyl is that I was conceived there in a caravan in the pouring rain in March. Not much help really.

DEFFO BRILL YOYO

My Dad spent the week teaching my Mam the finer points of strip poker. I don't know if he succeeded (they were on their honeymoon).

pmsl

That is lovely story

Anybody been there??????????

went when i was a kid with my grandparents and i loved it- i still have fond memories of that hol and i was only bout 8 !

the sun centre was great then it had just opened -sure its still lots of fun

lunachic Thanks

Maybe going next week with DS

anyone else

haven't been for a few years although the last time i went it was great.

been to the sun centre and the Nova centre which is mentioned on you link many times but was about 3 years ago now.

I thought both were good fun and good value. temperatures were Ok I can't remember the changing rooms which mean they must not have been awful!

Have fun in Rhyl

Thanks Pixiefish

Do they have changing rooms that I can go into with DS {he is 10}

Or do I have to send him into the mens and me into womens

ie are there some like at centre Parcs that are just cubicles IYSWIM

dyzzidi Cheers thanks

Not being funny RTKMummy but just take him in with you anyway. I'm sure there are cubes of some sort there. Don't send him into the men's on his own- have heard things but it could be scaremongering

Went there last half term - the pool place was fantastic - you all have to pay to go in - no reduced rates for spectators though.

Beach - well - say no more..........

Thanks guys

Pixie that is what I worried about really

Cos I will be on my own with him

What do I do about slides etc do I let him go to the top alone and wait at the bottom or do I go to the top and him come down alone

I hate them so won't go on them myself

Can you elaborate the details so I can be aware of pitfalls etc.

Slides etc- he should be ok. It's only the changing rooms that worry me. Think Pindy means that the beaches in Rhyl are a bit cr@@.

Anglesey has some gorgeous beaches if you're staying a while over Rhyl way and it's not that far.

staying near st aslaph

yes if good weather could go to beach @ Anglesey

Glad slides will be ok, Yes will keep him with me in changing rooms

Thank you for brill tips

ah, all the happy holidays I had in rhyl at my aunty's house. the sun centre was brand new when I first went, almost 30 years ago, so it was all clean and sparkly and fab.

Unfortunately, 30 years later, married to a middle class man whose snob gland gets set off whenever rhyl ever gets mentioned, I haven't been since then... it looked nice from the outside when I was there last easter...

rhyl itself is not all that (even though I still love it and have very fond memories of the past 3 years in my mum's caravan there) but there are plenty of wonderful places within easy driving distance from the sun centre.

enjoy!

OOOOH how glad I am that I didn't choose Rhyl to stay in

I had heard of the sun centre from a friend

Where would you take a 10 year old for the day?

Is there somewhere better?

Well, you've got the castles like conwy and caernarfon, or the snowdonia zoo, or Aires Park (spelling is off the mark but I think it's pronounced air-ees), then there's snowdonia itself and the train ride up or down snowdonia, funfairs galore in rhyl and towyn which is a lovely walk along the sea wall. There's also a great train ride on a narrow guage rail way at caernarfon...

I'm never bored in north wales!

Prestatyn has a good market but I don't suppose a 10 year old would be interested in that...!
