Holidays and breaks with pre-school children

There’s plenty of fun things to do for younger children at Center Parcs! Explore exciting water play areas in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, spot wildlife in the forest and discover lots of indoor, outdoor and watersports activities, whatever the weather.

From creative activities like Fun Pots for Tots, nature activities like Baby Owls and sporty activities like Off Road Explorers, there’s so much fun for little ones!

Around each of our villages, there are a number of indoor and outdoor play areas for your little ones to explore. As well as outdoor adventure playgrounds, there are indoor play areas where you don't need to pay or book - just turn up and let your little one explore to their heart's content.

All of our restaurants are child friendly, with plenty of space for highchairs and pushchairs, children’s menus with healthy and tasty dishes, activity packs to keep them entertained and play areas in some of our restaurants where they can run around and play.

You can also hire a wide range of cycles, including Balance Bikes, Tag-a-longs, Children’s Bikes, Children’s Trailers and Pushchairs from the Cycle Centre. There’s something for the whole family!

Center Parcs is open all year round, so whatever the weather you can enjoy a spectacular seasonal break. See the forest in full bloom in springtime, soak up the sunshine in summer, see the vibrant colours of the autumn forest and discover magical Winter Wonderland and Winter Forest Lights breaks. With a huge range of indoor and outdoor activities, there’s lots to keep the whole family entertained, whatever the weather!

Yes, all of our Center Parcs villages welcome dogs! If you would like to bring a dog, you need to book a dog-friendly lodge, and please note that dogs are not permitted in certain restaurants or areas of the village. You can find out more on our dog-friendly breaks page.

Our lodges are all designed with babies and children in mind, with everything you need for a relaxing break with your little one. Whether you’re staying in a Woodland Lodge, a Treehouse or anything in between, you’ll find a cot (you’ll need to bring your own linen), highchair, toddler bathroom step, super-sized storage cupboard for your pushchair, forest views so little ones can spot wildlife. Please be aware that some lodges have steps to the entrance, so check this when booking. 

We run two separate Crèche Sessions, one for little ones aged 3 - 23 months old and one for toddlers aged 24 - 35 months old.

Our Crèche Session will keep your little ones entertained for 3 hours. Whilst they’re off having fun, why not enjoy some well-deserved relaxation at Aqua Sana, our spa in the heart of the forest. Or spend some quality time together nestled in nature in the comfort of your lodge, embrace your inner adventurer in one of our thrilling activities or enjoy a tranquil cycle ride through the forest.
