Woodlands Theme Park

We were skeptical about a visit to the UKs largest indoor play area. However it turned out to be an unexpected top day out.

The Unexpected Best Bits

For an outdoors family the idea of visiting a theme park, let alone one that has the largest indoor play area is our idea of a nightmare.

Here are the bits we loved;

  • Plenty of outdoors natural spaces.
  • Really quiet so no waiting around (winter).
  • The look on the children’s faces.
  • That we got to be big kids too.
  • Value for money.
  • Loads to explore.
  • Unlimited rides (well the children enjoyed this bit).

Winter Visit To Woodlands

It really was incredibly quiet. It did remind me of the scene in ‘Zombieland’ where they go to an empty theme park. However, there were enough people for a bit of atmosphere and to stop it from being creepy.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great day. Some of the areas could do with updating, but I felt like this added to the character.

This route gives families a mix of city, beaches, mountains, swimming, outdoor adventures and great food without spending the whole holiday travelling. We’ve included what we did, where we stayed, things to do with children, how we got around and the things we wish we’d known before visiting Albania.
