Just returned from a 2 day stay at Bognor Butlins with wife and two children aged 10 and 12. Bought super saver pass on top for £10 which pays for a cinema ticket ( choice of the latest films), a proper bowling game, go karts and the adventure golf. This is very good value considering the price of cinema/bowling where I live. When you add in the splash water park ( how many of these are there around) and the evening entertainment ( we saw Circus Hilarious which was a first class show) it was worth the price. We bought a family leisure pass for £129 which is a day visitor pass valid for a year until 11pm as we live about a 90 minute drive away and stayed at the travelodge overnight. We had a barbecue on the beach which is directly opposite the entrance on the first day and Papa Johns Buffet on the second day which is good value and imo the best pizza chain A couple of years ago went to Skegness Butlins several days self catering. Rooms were spacious and clean. The Blues Brother show in one of the themed bars was as entertaining as shows in the west end we have seen ( Mary Poppins/ Lord of the Rings/ Wicked) and we saw Chico which was good for a laugh.
