Advantages: Location; Wildlife; Accomodation; Range of activities; Shops Disadvantages: Quite expensive; accomodation could be a fair distance from main areas!
clothing. I thought there was a decent amount of shops within the 'Village Square' but you could also visit shops in 'Jardin Des Sports', which houses a few sportswear shops.
OVERALL
Overall, I absolutely love Centre Parcs. We had a fantastic time and are planning to go again soon! This was the first time I had been during Winter, and even though it was extremely cold, I think I may have preferred it to being there during Summer, purely because it looked beautiful covered in snow, and it felt lovely and cosy in our lodge despite it being freezing outside!
Good Points
* It's absolutely gorgeous in Sherwood Forest and with all the wildlife and nature everywhere, it's really beautiful.
* It's a place where you feel safe taking your children.
* There is a good selection of restaurants and cafes.
* Lots of shops, you ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Center Parcs
Advantages: Near France and Italy. Beautiful scenery. Disadvantages: Similar prices to UK
Introduction ~~~~~~~~
Geneva is located in the south-west part of Switzerland is very near to France. In fact part of Geneva airport is in France.
If going on holiday to you means "cheap stuff" then Geneva and Switzerland in general for that matter is not your ideal holiday. Switzerland shares rip-off Britain prices and many things are more expensive there. The only thing that is cheaper there is petrol and fags.
Scenery ~~~~~~~~~~
The scenery in Geneva is beautiful near the lake. From the lake you can see into the Alps and see the famous Lake Geneva fountain. At night Geneva is stunning, the fountain is lit up and all the posh offices have fancy lights. (Like the ones Harrods has) On top of all that you are only a 20 minute drive to the Alps where there is more breathtaking scenery.
About Switzerland in General ...
Advantages: fun, lots to do Disadvantages: expensive!
I have been to Center Parcs several times but hadn't been for a while and since my last visit it has altered a little but still just as much fun as I remembered it to be. I thought I should review it as people who have never been are always asking me what it's like and whether it's worth it.
The basic idea of Center Parcs is to have an active holiday where you try things you may never usually get round to doing without having to go far. All of the attractions are very close together so you don't have to spend all day travelling from one to the next and so you can really soak up the family fun atmosphere.
I thought instead of reviewing everything individually I would review our entire holiday.
**Arrival**
We went to the Nottingham Center Parcs and we found that the directions on the website were fairly easy to follow and so we ...
