Best UK theme park for kids!?
My eldest son will be 12 in June and we have promised to take him away for the weekend and wanted to squeeze in a trip to a theme park. We will also be taking his younger brother who is 6. I wanted to take them to Drayton Manor but i can never find any deals :(
I was thinking of Alton Towers/ Thorpe Park/ Chessington or Legoland. Any ideas on what would be best to please both of the boys? Not been to any theme-parks in the UK for a few years.

We live in south wales so we are miles away from anything but we dont mind travelling :)
Thanks x
Its valid till 31/10/10 :thumbsup:
I would rate it better than Alton/Thorpe for the ages you are taking as there is a good mix of white knuckle and kids rides.
They have fantastic rides too http://www.ukrides.info/flamingoland.htm

lol that made me chuckle! Only went there much and its look pretty much the same :thumbsup:
Early 90s it was good.
Now for the serious: Theres a place near Melton Mobray.. twinlakes or summut? Thats meant to be good. Pleasure Island at Cleethorpes is closed now.
Pleasure Island is back up and running but its nothing special a bit crap IMO
Drayton manor i thought was more for adults
