A week in Center Parcs, Longleat

I have been condemned, I mean 'luckily asked', to a week in Center Parcs and since I've never been before, thought I'd ask for tips

I mean, is there an Escape Committee? Anyone know where the key to the Lion Enclosure is kept to let them roam free through the Center. And where's the best spot to get the resulting pics? Flash or use the Center lighting?

Any other tips/suggestions?

Since they seem to bang people up for taking kids out of school outside holiday time, this isn't really an option! But I'm thinking them lions'll go for the noisy ones first - and the meat'll be just that little bit more tender for our feline friends!

Only joking I must admit I went at a quiet time , so was not quite so busy. If you are going in school hols (sorry I can't help myself laughing) then it's gonna be a tad busy.

OK, pool is excellent & open till late, so maybe try & choose mealtimes & later for quiter periods. Everything else costs money, so watch out . Good for cycling around. If your hut is near trees get ready for tons of midges.

Can you get a day pass out

Either a hot air balloon or a trampoline near the perimeter fence.

P.S. Why can't they spell either 'Centre' or 'Parks'?

LOL, Dave! Had me going there (as I'm fully expecting it to be so!)

I'm worried they may get suspicious when I arrive with an enormous trailer in tow!

I thought spelling was because they are French but I'm reliably informed that they're Dutch (and being 1/4 Dutch I can't get too upset at my 1/4 compatriots! )
