If you're aiming to keep the whole family entertained, active and happy... take a look at the Haven and British Holidays Parks around the coast of Wales. Whichever Park you choose, there's plenty to lure your little cherubs away from their Playstations ....without travelling too far from home!

Greenacres, directly on Black Rock Sands near Snowdonia National Park in North Wales benefits from RopeWorks, a nerve-testing climbing activity centre guaranteed to tempt even the most committed couch potato! An enticing complex of poles, high wires, a 40' climbing wall and high rise scramble nets complete with a flying trapeze and 80 metres of zip wire ...not for the faint-hearted!

Quay West, overlooking the sweep of Cardigan Bay is within walking distance of New Quay. Home to a group of rare bottle-nosed dolphins it's worth taking a boat trip across the Bay to try and take a closer look ...you may well be rewarded with an astonishing display from these friendly mammals.

Kiln Park, just minutes away from Tenby is actually within the Pembrokeshire National Park ... enjoy two parks for the price of one! A 'Rock pool scramble' along the beach led by a cheery National Park Ranger will encourage the kids to discover the fascinating marine life amongst the rocks. Hafan y Mor, near Pwllheli is an 'All-Action' Haven Park with lively daytime and evening entertainment at a number of venues. The indoor Sports Zone offers everything from fencing to trampolining, whilst the SplashZone rivals most leisure centres with a wave machine, flumes and rapids. If you can drag yourself away from the Park, you'll find Snowdonia National Park almost on your doorstep.

Sports, Activities and Entertainment!

All the parks offer a range of sports, swimming pools, play areas, kid's clubs and an action-packed programme of activities and entertainment. Daytime Clubs include PAWS for the tinies, Tiger Club and Bradley's Bear Club for kids and T-CO for the teenagers - as well as David Bellamy's Family Park Rangers, the eco-friendly club for all the family.

Check out the SplashZone activities, with everything from Discover Scuba and Aqua-Jet racing to Learn2Swim for the little ones.

Make sure you save some energy for after dark - there's live entertainment every night and the kid's are genuinely welcome in the evening venues.

Accommodation is in well-equipped holiday homes offering every comfort from microwave ovens to central heating. If you prefer to bring your own caravan Kiln Park, Greenacres, Pendine Sands and Haven's Presthaven Sands also offer the option of first class touring pitches, many offering connection to electricity, water and main drainage.

And, if you prefer not to cook, Hafan y Mor has the option of half board holidays.
