Specialist Reports Activity Holidays Activity Holidays Family Holidays 

Keeping children busy is a good way of keeping them happy. Keeping them physically active has the added bonus of ensuring that when they do go to bed, they sleep.

In addition, this kind of break is particularly satisfying for parents who feel that they have had to put on hold any desires to push themselves to physical and adventurous extremes. Now's the chance to do so.

In most cases accommodation is fairly basic. This may mean you are slightly less comfortable than at home, but if you've been involved in something strenuous all day, you should sleep fine anyway. More to the point, you won't have to waste time looking smart. Comfort is the order of the day.

Options listed here are largely multi-activity, offering a wide choice of physical sports and pastimes. The section With Extra Childcare includes places which will look after younger children. Family Activity Holiday Centres lists what it says. Family Activity Holiday Operators lists those who offer more than one centre. The section titled Single Sport and Theme Holidays covers everything from tennis to fly fishing or swimming.

In addition to the information here see the reports on boating, cycling, riding, walking, diving, wildlife, and safari holidays.

Activities (generally less demanding) are also offered at some family holiday centres such as those listed under Family Resorts and Camping.
