Elveden Forest Center Parcs - tips?

[Sallyre]

What can you recommend as good activities to do? I have 2 boys - 3 and 1 - and limited funds. I've already booked them both in the creche and the morning in the spa for me and DH but not sure whether to book anything else - has anyone been there? Can anyone recommend things? Thank you!

I've just been there - am Center Parcs regular

The extra activities do mount up quite a lot, but there are far fewer things for children to do at that age if you see what I mean.

The swimming paradise is free and occupies them for hours

If you can stretch to bike hire, hiring an adult bike with a trailer (you SHOULD be able to fit both dc's in there) is great for them and good fun for you - on arrival

If you have good weather - pedalo hire (I think £8 for 30 mins) on the lake - just turn up

The lake also has a small sandy beach - again hours of entertainment if weather right

Ten pin bowling - your oldest may be able to do this, with a bowls ramp?

Take your own food, and the supermarket is pricy and has limited choices

Thank you!!! We do plan to hire bikes - DH has a bike and a bike seat and older DS loves it - might get a trailer for the one year old. I also found the thread lower down about CP in general. Both boys are water babies so that should be cool - thank you both for your help!

For those ages everything is FREE!!

Good outdoor play areas, swimming, biking, feeding the ducks and squirrels, even the disco!
