Hi

we are having a few days away end of Aug to North Wales

staying at Pontins Prestatyn :rotfl: which is minging apparently :eek: :rotfl:

any recommendations of nice familiy eateries nearby ? things for family / kids to do ? :)

we plan to go to Rhyl one of the days, as the boys love the Sea Life centre and the sun center ( if we have typical british summer weather & cant use the beach !)

also will prob go to the Mountain Zoo again as really liked it there :)

any other ideas etc would be most appreciated :) esp wet weather ideas just in case ! soft play places etc ? :confused:

TIA

:)

    Just up the coast from Prestatyn is Frith Beach. Opposite the entrance is a pub called 'The Frith' that does good meals at a good price. Llandudno is a good place to go for a day out and walk along the pier. Near Bangor is a small theme park called Green Wood Forest Park details can be found at https://www.greenwoodforestpark.co.uk

    Greenwood is a great place for the kids.
    You can exchange your Tesco Clubcard vouchers for deals to get into Greenwood and Portmeirion Village (near Porthmadog).
