Since the weather looks like it might be picking up I'd like to take the kids to an amusement park next week. They are two and three and I was wondering which one of the M25 parks would be best in terms of suitable rides, Thorpe, Chessington or other?

Ps not interested in Zoo as have recently been.

Thanks

chessington will be better for kids as all the big rides have now moved to Thorpe Park.Legoland is very expensive but apparently quite good (will try to get there this year myself)

Ive taken my son to Legoland 6 times now. I dont see the appeal, but he loves it.
Hes coming up to 10 now, so we have been going since he was 3 or 4

Legoland, but if you are happy to go further afield (past Birmingham), then try Thomasland which is part of Drayton Manor.

I'm not sure Chessington is the best for toddlers, but I haven't been there since we had children!

How old are the children? My nephews went to legoland last year, the youngest is 7 and he didn't enjoy it, the eldest is 12 and it was more suited to him.

Personally I think younger children would love Thomas Land at Drayton Manor.
We all went last year, and even my youngest aged 2 at the time managed to go on all but one ride in Thomas Land, and a fair few in Drayton Manor itself.

Kids under 3 go free too!

Thanks, want to stay around the home counties, don't want to drive to Birmingham and sundown adventureland is near Sheffield!!

I'll look on their website but does Legoland have rides suitable for a 2 and 3 year old?

Thanks

Chessington was always enjoyable, haven't been there for some time but I hear it is still good.

I went to Diggerland in Kent as part of a Stag weekend. We raced 1 tonne dumper trucks one-on-one; the rear wheel steering took some getting used to - best stag do ever.

For the NW area, Gulliver's World in Warrington is great for little kids but look closely and you can see the rough edges. In fact, you don't need to look that closely. It's full of Scousers too.

If you go to Legoland, get the Q-bot. it's £10 per head but it will more than double the amount of rides you can do in a day.

Thomas land is great and only 2 years old but the rest of Drayton Manor is a bit dodgy, especially the rather sad zoo.
