We have visited Butlins for a number of years for two main reasons.....value for money and unbeatable fun for kids.
The imposing Skyline pavillion dominates a large proportion of the site and is brilliant for entertaining in wet weather as everything is under one roof. The entertainment here is professional with circus entertainers galore.
Our little ones love the Noddy themed funfair which they can ride on till their hearts content AT NO COST - a sure winner for Butlins and there is an outside one for the older ones too.
One main drawback is still the accomodation which I still find tired and dirty nomatter whether you upgrade or not, still it still didn't defer from our break.
You can go catering or self and we've done both. The catered food is edible and plentiful if not gormet and with big names loike Burger King and Harry Ramsdens you can always opt for a quality take-away.
All in all we wouldn't hesitate to recommend - after all if the kids are well occupied then thats great by us.

Advantages: Good for young children if you are prepared to make an effort Disadvantages: There's not as much there as they would lead you to believe...
