Top tips for your stay
- On your day of arrival, you can start your adventure in the forest at 10am, and have access to your accommodation at 3pm (3.30pm at Whinfell Forest), but did you know you can book early arrival and check in to your accommodation from 2pm.
- Make the most of the Subtropical Swimming Paradise and go for a swim at 2pm on the day of your arrival or make a splash under the stars for a quieter evening dip in the pool until 9pm
- On your final day at Center Parcs don’t rush to go back to reality, you can stay on village until midnight to soak up as much of the natural forest as you can. You will have to leave your accommodation at 10am
- The weather doesn’t stop family adventures at Center Parcs. Know what to pack for your break and check the weather forecast ahead to know if you need your raincoats and wellies or sandals and shorts
- Register your guest’s details online before your break so you can spend more time exploring the forest and don’t forget to have your booking reference ready on arrival, so you don't have to waste time at security
- Don’t worry about doing a food shop before you arrive on village, head to the ParcMarket for your everyday essentials and if you spend more than £40 we’ll deliver your shopping to your accommodation for free
- With 400 acres of the forest to explore, it can be difficult to get your bearings, so why not book onto our Wildlife Walk activity to help you get to grips with the village quicker and learn about the friendly animals you can see during your stay?
For something extra...
Why not spend a little more for some of these things…
- Before you arrive why not purchase a breakfast pack to be in your lodge, so you can cook your loved ones a delicious hearty first meal of the day
- Not got enough room in your suitcase? Don’t worry why not save some valuable space and hire your pool towel at the Subtropical Swimming Paradise for £2
- Want a cosy night in, in front of the fire and the TV, but don’t want to cook? Order Dining In for a range of takeaways from Indian to Mexican
- Begin your break in the forest even earlier by booking early arrival (check in at 2pm) to your lodge so you don’t have to wait to begin your adventures
Get ready for your break
