The middle of the 20th century was when family holiday parks were made popular when Billy Butlin opened up his first ‘Butlins’ holiday park. Since then choosing to go on holiday at family parks has grown with over a thousand holiday parks lining the various holiday spots of England, Wales, and Scotland.
Each of the parks offers something different although they do have familiar characteristics in the same way that hotels often have the same basic amenities but still have plenty of new perks to offer.
One of the traits that family holiday parks have in common is a central venue for entertainment in the middle. This venue is usually open throughout the day with children’s entertainment taking the major headlines during the daytime and adult shows set for night including live singers, a bar, and a disco.
The main point of a holiday park is usually to keep children happy because if they are entertained than adults will be satisfied as well. Usually a holiday park will have a kids club and a playground to suit this purpose.
In addition, almost all family holiday parks also offer swimming pools either indoors or out and in some areas even both. Most also have ‘splash’ areas filled with waterfalls and fountains for plenty of water fun.
Within the main entertainment complex there is also usually an amusement arcade that offers video game action and the latest in slot machines. Dads and boys also generally love air hockey and pool tables.
The widest array of holiday parks are spread throughout England, Wales, and Scotland with some of the major holiday parks owned by Park Resorts Butlins, Haven Holiday, Hoseasons, and Pontins.
