Grandparents then go away with your missus and have a good time doing the things you did before you had kids!!!

 

did that last year,i think she is at a good age at moment to enjoy holidays

Any Disney destination will always be great for kids (and adults who think they're still kids)

 

Ummm..a whole week? Centreparcs are great, the swimming facilities absolutely rule.
Eurodisney is also good, though expensive and food is terrible.
Down towards Bristol area you could cover Longleat/Cheddar/Wookey Hole which are all great fun...the Longleat Centreparcs lets you do all that from a good base of course.
Remeber that they get tired quickly at 3, go from full-on to asleep in your arms in seconds..

Legoland is also very cool for kids, and is near Chessington World of Adventures so you can do other things during the week (plus a visit to London Zoo or the Aquarium or musuems if you are within striking distance of London)

this sounds promising-she loves animals and fish

Mine loved Lego Land at that sort of age too. Strangely though, whilst they love Disney stuff, neither has ever expressed any interest in EuroDisney etc.

IMO, at that age they find most things fun if they're new and different, although I suspect a 3 year old would be unlikely to enjoy the Eden Project.

i quite fancied the eden project-typical,she did enjoy aberdeen botanical gardens though so you never know

Nurburgring???

Martin,
Euro disney would be brill but what you have to ask yourself, would the "Are we there yet?" every 20 miles....700miles later.... is it worth it. Took mine to Florida twice, too busy having fun to notice if they did

Travelling isn't fun for them, so would be far happier going 20 than 2000miles. Only the Parents appreciate the enormity of getting the "There"

Mine at that age, were Happy doing anything new, in wind and rain making sandcastles on the beach far harder to please @ 8-24yrs

"Centerparks" & "Bultlin" Camps type are great fun, don't be put off by it being cheesy Kids absoulutely love it and very well entertain and so are the weary Parents the Acomedation can be very good.

I'd have thought legoland would be better for mebbe 5-10 yr olds, 3 a bit young. Josh disagrees!

 

3 is fine at legoland, 5 opens up a few other things there (like the boats and cars) so it's a different experience.

took my 2 nieces to cornwall for a week (aged 4 + 3 )

they loved it and are asking when they can visit us again,there is loads for kids to do and is cheap

 

looks like legoland/chessington then
thanks martin

 

Thorpe Park is also in striking distance and is a good day out for little 'uns.
Got the usual rides and shows etc which she would probably enojoy plus water ride to the mini farm and if the weather is good it even has a mini man made beach / water area so take your cossies and towels

 

i do not want to get sand in my car but megan does like running into the sea
