Everyone has heard about butlins and the history of it so i deceided to go to the skegness Butlins and found i did not enjoy as much as i thought i would. Took my 2 boys aged 3 1/2 and 1 1/12 and thet were not able to do much as they were to samml for the soft play area and any fun fair rides - only the kiddies rides. The kids clubs were not very organised as they were not on every day and when they was on it they were on when it was about 5 when you wanted tea ready for the evening entertainment. The nursery at skegness was a distance away from the rest of the park and swimming pool only was open at certain times. Best bit was evening entertainment as you could just sit and watch and not realy have to fork anything out if you took drinks and food with you. No decent outdoor play area. In my opion butlins is very expensive and better for older kids and adults and i much prefer haven.
