Took my 6 year old last week and she loved it. There's a few rides she couldn't go on but she was fine with it as me and my lad went on the bigger rides whilst my missus took the little one to meet characters and do princessy things. To be fair, there's only the "upside down" rides she couldn't go on - went on Crush's rollercoaster and the tower of terror and loved them both! 6 year old = zero fear of the unknown!
Aye of course - I dressed up for the day as Princess Aubergine from that film Pokeyrhighness! Daughter looked lovely though and thoroughly enjoyed it! (Wants to for what the bastard cost me!!)
She's not quite one year old so it'll be a while before we go, it sounds like there's loads to do for any age as long as they're old enough to appreciate it. I haven't got a clue if I've got the stomach for rollercoasters etc these days, used to go on anything and loved it but dunno if I've still got the iron stomach necessary. Water parks are great fun eh.
It's a kids paradise mate, good weather and literally all kinds of attractions for the youngens, plus the locals try to make it special for the kids as well which is good. Just make sure she's able to walk distances cos you will cover some ground out there mate. My son was 9 when we first went and he loved it, but he couldn't get on the rollercoasters and he was gutted, I was chuffed cos i'm not a big fan of them myself. Love the water parks like and I think Disney have 3 of them, plus there's a massive wet and wild as well. Just be prepared to do a lot of walking.
Sounds like a cross between family fun time and a gruelling workout, I won't bother exercising before I go then. What's it like in terms of how rammed it is, constantly being jostled and crowded gets on my nerves. I know it's busy obviously I'm not expecting it to be quiet.
TBH mate i always go in late season, usually September or October so it's not too bad, i imagine if you went during school holidays it will be rammed like. Just try to avoid school holiday time if you can mate, it's a lot quieter. The weather starts to turn late October to November but it's still warm.
Didn't say there was we even got to go onto the beach and we found starfish and crabs - the sealife - never see them on the shoreline now! Was a grand day out from Ford Estate.
We went to Edinburgh zoo and one of the lads who's parents had to be persuaded to let him go as he was a bit on the wild side managed to steal a baby f*cking penguin. No one knew until the parents heard him in the bath with it. School trips were banned for our year after that. Never ever got an opportunity to go on another.
Wouldn't take a todler, mine were 7 & 8 when we did it, and the little one was a frustrated daredevil, getting well pissed at being denied access to all the fun rides. Best time of the day is near the end when all the families leave & you can grind the good rides with no queues, the day time is a nightmare, just so busy you will literally be in line waiting to get in line. No joke.
Our lass and the bairns have been to the Florida one and the other theme parks there. My idea of hell though so I didn't go..
