February Family Fun!

---

It only feels like five minutes ago since the kids were last on holiday, but here we go again - February half-term! We all love to spend quality time with our children but how do you keep yourself (and them!) from tearing each other’s hair out. The answer is simple really – keep them busy! That’s not a problem though here in Leicester, with so much going on during the half-term week. The only problem you might have is how you’ll manage to fit it all in!

So here we go, let us take you on a February half term tour…

Twinlakes Theme Park

How about a trip to Twinlakes - a 70-acre park including splendid attractions like a zoo, falconry centre and rollercoasters for a thrilling experience for the whole family. Watch out this half term for an action-packed takeover of Superhero’s and Princesses. Get the kids to dress in their favourite superhero or princess costume (you can too if you like!) and in return you can claim a free ticket for entrance to Twinlakes sister park, Wheelgate Park, Mansfield.

Don’t worry if you don’t want to go as Hulk/Captain America or Frozen’s Elsa or Anna as a Superhero mask, cape, tiara or fairy wings will do the trick too.
