Answer 1

Answer 2

If you are pregnant do you want to go to Alton Towers? What about another Butlins or similar holiday camp? Have you tried Centreparcs?

Answer 3

I would suggest Butlins because to be honest, if your children are so young and you are pregnant, it would be a waste of money going to Alton Towers as none of you will get the best out of it.
Save that for when they are older and you aren't pregnant.

Answer 4

wait untill the children are older before you take them to Alton Towers as there will be so many thing they will not be able to go on.

I have taken my kids to Butlins a few times once when I was pregnant, they loved it and are constantly asking when can we go again! Your kids are the perfect age there is so much for them to do there plus there is a creche you can leave them in for a couple of hours and enjoy some quiet time to yourself, plus the kids are so entertained anyway it means you can relax, knowing they are happy.

Answer 5

i would bother with alton towers there not realy old enough for most of the rides and you would realy be wasting your money...

go to butlins skegness or a different one... they should have much more fun there than at alton towers... Have you thought about flamingo land its better for younger kids.

Have a lovely holiday!

Answer 6

Alton towers hotel is way over priced, I complained when I was there the room was filthy the cot was unsafe it was awful

I can't comment on Butlins I have not been,

I would drive through the tunnel to France, thats what we did when I was pregnant. the further down you drive the better weather..............

Answer 7

I have two children myself and my husband and I have never paid over £600 for us all to go. We save throughout the year couple pound a week and then decide the month and date we want to go. I know its nice to book in advance but its so expensive, keep looking on the net Thomson is very good about 6weeks or so before you go the price you see is what you pay no added extras and if you are weary bout booking online you only have to print out copy or get reference number of you quote and take it to travel agents and they have to price match it there, we even had a further reduction from them because we found it cheaper online last year! Dont be fooled by holidays on sky and teletext they look a real bargain when you see it first and then by time you ring the price trebles!! Good luck!

Answer 8

Butlins seems the best option considering your condition. It is also cheaper.

Answer 9

i'd say Butlins seeing as you're pregnant and your kids are very young

:]
