It’s September and everyone has gone back to school. So, what better time to take your little one’s to a theme park!
There are plenty of rides to keep toddlers entertained. And what’s best, the queues will be a lot shorter as it’s off-peak season! Here’s our selection of rides for kids under 5…
Alton Towers Waterpark
LEGOLAND®
LEGOLAND really does cater for younger children, with so many of it’s attractions and rides aimed for this age group. Kids will love to see the LEGO models in the LEGO Creation Centre. Or they can design their very own LEGO car in the Rocket Racers area. For something a bit more adventurous, 3-5 year olds get the chance to race their very own LEGO car in the L Drivers zone. Even better, children under 3 years old get into the park for FREE! Hurrah!
Alton Towers
For a real treat, plan a family trip to the Alton Towers Waterpark. The younger children won’t be able to go on all of the big flumes, as restrictions apply, but there is The Little Leak pool, which is shallow enough for your kids to have plenty of fun in! Or take a visit to the pirate themed aquarium. Sharkbait Reef is full of sharks, fish and rays for you to see. Be brave and dip your fingers into the UK’s only Tropical Interactive Pool!
Chessington World of Adventures Resort
If the kids want even more driving experience, take them to Chessington for a ride on the Tiny Truckers. Or if they have lots of energy, let them run around the Dragon’s Playhouse. This indoor soft play area is the ideal place to let them have some fun! Alternatively, take some time out of your busy day at the park and enjoy a live show. The Dragon’s Tale Theatre has shows running throughout the day at 11am, 1pm or 3pm (see site for more information) and join the characters as they embark on a safari themed adventure.
You don’t need to go onto the biggest roller coasters to enjoy a day out at a UK Theme Park, see what else there is to explore and book your family break today.
