We had a fantastic time at centre parcs, although due to age of kids were able to travel outside school holidays and midweek. We also paid a little bit extra for an early check in and were very pleased we had, we later heard there had been huge queues as the whole park changes over on the same day. There are of course loads of activities to do, but even just cycling around the parc is great fun. The swimming pool is out of this world and enjoyable for all ages - for us the age ranged from my 18mth old daughter to my mum aged 72. I even caught my mum following my 8 yr old niece down the wild rapids water slide! The food in the restaurants varied from poor to excellent, but as its self-catering its easy to do your own thing. I did find it good value for money and a fabulous holiday - although it's definitely worth searching around for discounts like the one on this site's home page which we used. We hope to return to CP later this year.
