Best Toddler Holiday Destinations in North Wales
Planning a family getaway with a toddler can feel like a bigger challenge than it needs to be. Young children have their own routines, peaky energy levels and favoured ways to have fun. This makes choosing the right accommodation all the more important.
Fortunately, North Wales is home to some fantastic family-friendly destinations, with beaches, attractions, countryside and plenty of things to keep little ones entertained.
So, if you’re searching for the best toddler holiday destinations for your next family escape, the Pario Holiday Parks collection provides several ideal resorts which can serve as the ideal base from which to take advantage of everything this glorious region has to offer. From traditional seaside fun to relaxing countryside stays and convenient self-catering accommodation, there are plenty of options in our collection to suit families with children of all ages.
1. Marine Holiday Park
Taking the top spot on our list of the best holiday destinations with a toddler is Marine Holiday Park in Rhyl. This lively family holiday park combines comfortable accommodation with an extensive choice of facilities, meaning there is plenty to do without having to ever having to leave the park.
Little ones can splash around in the heated indoor swimming pool, enjoy the choice of children’s play areas and discover retro games in the traditional seaside amusement arcades. The park also offers a kids club programme packed with fun games and activities for children of all ages. It is a great opportunity for youngsters to make new friends, try new activities, learn new skills and, most importantly, have a great time.
When the sun goes down the fun can continue with a family evening entertainment which gives everyone the chance to come together and enjoy the end of another fun filled day. Best of all, these facilities and entertainment options are provided as a complimentary extra as part of your holiday package when staying in one of the self-catering lodges or static caravans at Marine Holiday Park.
Self-catering accommodation is particularly useful when holidaying with toddlers. Rather than having to work your day around the fixed meal times often associated with hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses, you can prepare meals and snacks when your little one is hungry. If nap time suddenly arrives, you can simply head back to your own accommodation rather than trying to keep a hangry toddler having a tantrum entertained in a busy restaurant.
2. Gimblet Rock Holiday Park
Gimblet Rock Holiday Park in Pwllheli is another excellent choice for families looking for the best holiday destinations with a toddler. This traditional seaside setting provides direct access to Pwllheli beach and promenade, putting a whole host of simple family activities within easy reach.
You can build sandcastles, paddle in the shallows, enjoy a little sunshine or play ball games before returning to your accommodation whenever your toddler needs a rest. Having your holiday accommodation just a short walk from the beach is particularly convenient with young children, as toilets, food, drinks and somewhere familiar for a comforting snooze are never far away.
The facilities at Gimblet Rock have been rated as being up to a 5 star standard by Visit Wales and include a heated indoor swimming pool, providing yet another opportunity for some family fun. There is also a soft play area where energetic toddlers can enjoy climbing, crawling and exploring in a safe environment. This ensures that there is always a way of keeping the little ones entertained, whatever the weather.
3. Tan Rallt Holiday Park
For families who want to combine toddler-friendly facilities with a little relaxation, Tan Rallt Holiday Park in Abergele is well worth considering. Set within the beautiful North Wales countryside, it provides a peaceful base from which to explore the region.
One of the highlights is the relaxing spa complex, where responsible adults can take it in turns to enjoy the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi while another responsible adult stays with the little one. Alternatively, one parent can head to the on-site play area with their toddler while another takes the time to maintain their fitness regime in the on-site gym.
Tan Rallt also provides a convenient base for discovering the many family attractions located throughout the surrounding North Wales region. More on that in a sec…
