For many of you youngsters, the time will come when you have kids of your own. Obviously it doesn’t apply to everyone or maybe you already have kids and stumbled across my blog.
Theme park trips with younger kids is a completely different experience than going with friends or partner. Here’s a list of positive and negative points to parenting at theme parks.
1. Excuse to ride smaller coasters.
Sometimes getting a cred isn’t easy, especially when there’s coasters aimed at children. Needless to say, it’s easier getting the Octonauts credit when you have children with you.
2. They slow you down.
UK parks have bad opening hours and it’s well known throughout the community but imagine having a short amount of time and having to stop for drink/nappy changing/toilet breaks every 90 minutes. Also pushing a buggy can slow things down.
3. Seeing them enjoy themselves.
Its self explanatory but seeing your child enjoy themselves at a theme park is the most rewarding thing. Every parent loves seeing their kids enjoy themselves and where better than on a ride?
4. Long queues? Not a chance.
My best advice is to go on a quiet day if you have small children. Queue times can be long and it’s incredibly difficult trying to entertain a 2 year old in a 60 minute queue at Peppa Pig World.
5. You’re creating memories.
They may piss you off for much of the day but it’s nice having them share the happy times and more importantly, you are bonding as a family.
I’m sure there’s more but I’m too lazy to think of more.
Cheers for reading. ❤️
