If you're the kind of person who goes on holiday because the
children won't stop needling you to go to an amusement park,
we have got a treat for you. There are some places (surprisingly),
where kids can have a blast, and you don't have to sway sickeningly
on a roller-coaster!
Children love to visit Bridgend, and for good reason - it can be a
fun, relaxing or crazy day - and no matter where they go, parents
can be guaranteed a great day!
