Butlins - the perfect family holiday

Stuck for holiday ideas? Ever considered a Butlins holiday? We’re the experts with over 70 years of experience, so it’s no wonder we know what makes the perfect family holiday.

Ideal for tots and toddlers!
Whether you have young babies or toddlers Butlins is a great place for families to visit as it’s packed with activities and live entertainment everyone can enjoy.

The three seaside Resorts, Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness, offer everything a new mum needs including free baby food by popular brand So Baby as well as high chairs, food trays and bottle warming facilities at all restaurants. There are changing stations across the Resorts and you can simply hire baby paraphernalia that you may have left at home.

Each Resort has an Ofsted approved nursery where youngsters can make new friends, join in activities or just amuse themselves with loads of toys, while the adults enjoy a well earned rest at one of the many resort’s restaurants or coffee shops or putting their feet up in a modern family apartment.

Little ones can roll and tumble around the giant soft play areas, as well as take part in a variety of creative activities. Fans of popular kids TV shows can meet their favourite characters such as Barney, Bob the Builder and Dino & Darwin, available for a cuddle if they are not busy preparing for their live interactive shows. Butlins knows that it can be difficult to get the little ones to sleep after an exciting day so Pingu invites them to his Chill Zone for a bedtime story at the end of the day
