Fun Holiday Locations For Your Kid’s Birthday
Has your child got a birthday coming up? Perhaps you’ve decided that they deserve to celebrate in style this year? You can make their birthday one that the whole family will remember with a trip to one of these incredible locations. Here are our top fun holiday locations for your kid’s birthday.
Disneyland Paris
Where better to celebrate a birthday than the magical Disneyland Paris? The park offers a wonderful day out for Disney fans of all ages with attractions, rides, shows and parades. There’s also plenty of choice when it comes to deciding where to have the birthday meal and you can even stay over in one of the Disney hotels at the heart of the magic.
To make the birthday even more memorable, contact Disney beforehand and ask if they can get a couple of the characters to sign your child’s birthday cards and make sure the birthday boy or girl gets a photo with their favourite character!
Reserve Monteverde, Costa Rica
If your child loves the great outdoors then a trip to Reserve Monteverde in Costa Rica will be a sure-fire hit! The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (Reserva Biologica del Bosque Nuboso de Monteverde) is a cloud forest rather than a rain forest, due to its elevation (1,440 metres above sea level!)
Guided tours are possible, and over 400 species of birds can be found here along with 100 mammal species and 1,200 species of reptiles and amphibians. So budding nature enthusiasts will truly be in their element.
North Island, New Zealand
For Lord of the Rings fans, a once-in-a-lifetime trip to North Island in New Zealand is a must. The North Island boasts stunning scenery and vibrant cities along with beautiful beaches and Maori culture.
You can also visit the real-life locations where the Lord of the Rings movies were filmed and take a guided walking tour around Hobbiton where you’ll be transported to Middle Earth, complete with Hobbit Holes!
Alton Towers
For those looking for a holiday a little closer to home, theme park Alton Towers here in the UK is always a firm favourite among children of all ages. Set in Staffordshire, the Alton Towers Resort offers short breaks, so you don’t have to pack your visit into a single day.
With a choice of three themed hotels, and over 40 rides and attractions, there’s plenty of thrills for kids and grown-ups to enjoy and your child is guaranteed to have a birthday to remember!
