Hi Anna

I'd suggest the bahamas but I expect that may be a little beyond our means??

I know Alton Towers went down well, but it is a long trip - I've always found Lightwater Valley to be extremely helpful, and really good value for money, and also very good with the exit passes. Depending on the ages have you ever been to Magna (Rotherham) ? It's a hands on scientific huge (really huge)  old steel foundry, with a huge playground outside. It is on three floors with loads of great exhibitions and things to do, and cheap! It's got loads of sensory activities, particularly in the water zone.


I guess for me, an ideal trip would be one with lots of different activities within a reasonable budget entry-wise, I could name about 12 in the South West, but I am still finding my way around here. I did take my lot to Scarborough a few weeks ago to go to the waterpark - to find it has been demolished - so that's one less place available. Had lovely day on the beach instead!!
Be interesting to see what ideas other people come up with.
