UK resort with attractions 'better than Center Parcs' relaunches £1 kids' ticket
Entertaining your kids is a full-time — and very expensive — job.
But popular holiday park Butlin's if offering a solution, with the return of its popular £1 offer.
During term time, a child's day pass normally costs £11, but thanks to this deal, up to four kids can go for just £1 each with every full-paying adult ticket (from £15).
At all three resorts – Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness – tots can be entertained with everything from live shows and fairground rides to the chain's beloved water parks.
There are some conditions though. The offer is only valid until May 22 and it only applies to visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the month.
Last admission to the parks is 2pm, so it won't be one for school-aged kids — but it could be a cheap way to keep nursery-aged toddlers busy.

But despite the stipulations, there's plenty for your little one to enjoy on a day out to Butlin's, whether they prefer shows like Peppa Pig's Dance Party and the Tots Disco or the prehistoric-themed Dino Expo exhibition.
Also included in the £1 ticket is the brand-new, 3,000 square feet Skyline Gang Soft Play in Bognor Regis or SKYPARK playgrounds at the other two locations.
And if all that wasn't enough, you'll get unlimited fairground rides and access to Splash Waterworld too.
Reviews from satisfied families speak for themselves, with one parent on Reddit writing: 'The pool and the beach is all we wanted and they are living up to expectations, in fact the pool is better than Center Parcs for our age kids (4-year-old and 18-month-old).' More Trending
'There were non-stop things to do,' commented another, while a third added: 'Food court is good value, activities are amazing for kids (some of the musical stuff etc is good for adults). Swimming is ace.'
The entrance fee isn't the only thing you can save your hard-earned cash on, either.
For an additional £1, your child can enjoy a meal from the kid's menu between 12pm and 3pm. Be aware however, you'll need to buy your own adult meal to get the discount lunch (and check that your restaurant of choice is part of the promotional deal).

Butlin's revamp holiday park and prices start at £69
The discount can be used on the revamped Bognor Regis resort where a soft play centre and puppet theatre have been unveiled Butlin's is offering a huge summer sale across all of its holidays throughout 2025 and 2026, with discounts of up to 40% waiting to be snapped up. This includes Midweek Showtime breaks at Bognor Regis starting from £69 in June, Summer Holidays Feat Stephen Mulhern 3-night getaways from £352, and special Justin Fletcher Tots Breaks priced from just £79 in September. The Bognor Regis resort has recently been revamped, with Butlin's pulling out all the stops for holidaymakers this summer. The company's largest-ever indoor Soft Play centre and a brand-new Puppet Theatre have been unveiled at the resort. The new attractions are already proving a hit with families nationwide, with thousands more predicted to descend during the school holidays. The new soft play centre sprawls over 3,000 square feet across four floors, accommodating up to 200 lively little explorers at once - that's double the capacity of the previous attraction. Access to the play area is included in the cost of a family break and day passes. Catering to children of all ages, the Skyline Soft Play is divided into three zones, each themed around the vibrant characters of the beloved Butlin's Skyline Gang. Each character has their own dedicated section brimming with slides, climbing challenges, log ramps, cargo nets and more, plus a generous multi-sensory area for babies. For parents needing a breather while the kids play, there's a cosy new 100-seat café area where they can unwind with a brew. As reported by Bristol Live, this latest addition to the soft play centre follows hot on the heels of last year's opening of the £15 million PLAYXPERIENCE - a cutting-edge 50,000 square feet immersive gaming attraction. The West Sussex resort has welcomed another exciting addition alongside its soft play centre - a brand-new Puppet Theatre. This enchanting venue will showcase captivating, family-friendly string puppet shows, with new productions like Under The Sea, Jingle in the Jungle, and Christmouse giving guests a glimpse into the magical world that awaits them this year. In a bid to make holidays more affordable for families, the puppet shows are complimentary for those on Butlin's breaks and day visits. The entertainment team promises an unforgettable experience, complete with mesmerising string-pulling action, hilarious characters, and plenty of 'oohs' and 'aahs' from the little ones. This £1.8 million investment is the latest in a series of exciting developments across Butlin's three seaside resorts. The £15 million indoor activity centre PLAYXPERIENCE at Bognor Regis boasts nine immersive gaming experiences, including laser tag, a VR games arcade, escape rooms, and more. Additionally, a second £2.5 million SKYPARK has opened in Minehead, offering an inclusive and interactive playground for children of all abilities. Last year also saw a significant £12 million investment in new Premium Lodges at the Maple Walk village in Skegness, featuring 128 contemporary-designed lodges at the heart of the Lincolnshire resort. Holiday parks remain a beloved Great British institution, with millions of families returning year after year to join in the fun. If Butlin's isn't quite the right fit, Haven Holidays is celebrated for breath-taking coastal views and a wealth of caravan accommodations. It's an idyllic choice for those drawn to the call of nature and traditional seaside jaunts, yet it's Butlins that remains unchallenged in delivering top-notch family fun with its array of immersive and themed adventures. Parkdean Resorts echoes a similar vibe, boasting 66 parks studded along the UK's sought-after coastal regions. Echoing Haven's ethos, Parkdean thrives with inviting swimming pools, convenient on-site dining, and an assortment of seaside activities aimed at families. Center Parcs holds a special place in the hearts of many families, renowned for its array of activities nestled within the UK's enchanting forests. Although universally adored, the only sting is the cost that's notably steep over school breaks. Butlin's Bognor Regis has garnered more than 3,900 five-star testimonials on TripAdvisor. Captivated by their experience, a guest recounted: "We had a lovely Easter break at Butlin's Bognor. Top quality entertainment, engaging and friendly staff and we had the weather too. Such good fun for young and old alike. Very impressed with the new soft play, the Splash water park was fabulous and from start to finish we received nothing but exceptional customer service." Another weighed in, saying: "This was our third visit to Butlin's within two years, needless to say we absolutely love brand new soft play and play experience are brilliant, soft play has very generous opening hours and the staff are really observant, looks like a much better replacement from the arena soft play." One family remarked: "We had a fun-filled tots week, busy all day, every day. Playxperience was a new 1 for us and we all enjoyed neo games- 4yr old right up to 60s." However, not every visitor came away with glowing reviews. A less satisfied guest mentioned: "Decided to give Butlin's a go for half term. Overall, for us adults, everything was a bit meh except for the entertainment, which was awesome." Someone else left a five-star review which reads: "Always things to do never get bored. Very clean apartment. New playxperience building is very good, packed with new, fun experiences. Had great fun in laser tag. Brilliant and helpful staff." All of Butlin's holiday deals can be viewed here, including Minehead, Bognor Regis and Skegness. Guests could also bag up to 40% off on meal packages depending on the date and location.

Butlin's has pulled out all the stops for staycationers this summer with the grand opening of its biggest-ever indoor Soft Play centre and a brand-new Puppet Theatre. The new additions at its Bognor Regis resort are already making waves with families across the UK, with thousands more expected to visit during the school holidays.

Designed for children of all ages, the Skyline Soft Play is split into three zones, each inspired by the colourful characters of the popular Butlin's Skyline member has a devoted section, jam-packed with slides, climbing challenges, log ramps, cargo nets and more, plus a spacious multi-sensory area for babies. To keep parents amused while the children play, there is also a comfy new 100-seat café area where they can relax with a cuppa while the kids burn off some energy. The new soft play centre ramps up the fun following the opening of the £15 million indoor activity centre PLAYXPERIENCE - a 50,000 square feet state-of-the-art immersive gaming attraction - last year. The West Sussex resort has another new opening alongside its soft play centre. The new Puppet Theatre showcases magical, family-friendly string puppet shows. New shows likeUnder The Sea, Jingle in the Jungle and Christmouse are just a taste of what's in store for guests this year. Helping to keep costs down for families, the puppet shows are free for families on Butlin's breaks and day visits.

Holiday Parks are very much a Great British institution, with millions of families joining in the fun year after year. If Butlin's isn't quite right, there are others to choose from. Haven Holidays, for example, is known for its scenic coastal settings and caravan options. Great for nature lovers and seaside fun, Butlins still leads the pack when it comes to immersive family entertainment and themed experiences. Alternatively, Parkdean Resorts offer a similar experience with 66 parks in popular coastal locations across the UK. Much like Haven, they feature swimming pools, on-site restaurants and a variety of family-friendly activities by the seaside. Center Parcs is also a firm favourite among holidaymakers, offering a wide range of activities across multiple forest locations in the UK. Loved by many, the only downside is the high price tag which can get very expensive, especially during school holidays. Guests who have already enjoyed a stay at Butlins Bognor Regis have left over 3,900 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor. One visitor said: "We had a lovely Easter break M-F at Butlins Bognor. Top quality entertainment, engaging and friendly staff, and we had the weather too. Such good fun for young and old alike.

Not every visitor was quite so impressed. A disappointed reviewer said: "Decided to give Butlins a go for half term. Overall, for us adults, everything was a bit meh except for the entertainment, which was awesome." Another added: "Lots to do, great entertainment and things to do. The chalets are quite run down though - bedding is frayed and beds aren't that great." Summing it up, another five-star review added: " Always things to do, never get bored. Very clean apartment. New playxperience building is very good, packed with new, fun experiences. Had great fun in laser tag. Brilliant and helpful staff." Butlins is currently offering 40% off stays for 2025. These include Midweek Showtime breaks at Bognor Regis from £69 in June, Summer Holidays Feat Stephen Mulhern 3-night breaks from £352 and Justin Fletcher Tots Breaks from £79 in September.
