Research shows that the recent Half Term break cost on average £463 each for those families that have two children. This means that a total of £3.5 billion was shelled out by long-suffering parents just to keep the children entertained whilst the schools are closed.

Childcare for those parents unable to take time off during the school break put a dent of at least £164 in their pockets and those considering the supposedly cheaper day trip option were hit with a bill of £93 for a family of four to visit a theme park. Sometimes it’s worth saving those ‘2 for 1 vouchers’ as these can help to bring the costs down a little to ease the financial burden of trying to entertain the kids during school breaks.

Are you wondering how to keep the children entertained during the next school break? If so, coach holidays could prove to be a cost-effective alternative to other breaks available on the market. Take a look at our special offers and day trips for ideas but if you fancy travelling that bit further, consider our UK coach holidays, European coach tours or worldwide escorted tours. We’ve also got fabulous great-value London Theatre breaks with many offering cheaper tickets for children or offering ‘two shows for the price of one’ (depending on which departure area you will be travelling from). Also, don’t forget that there are many kids savings to be had on coach breaks to Disneyland Paris. Check out the full range of coach holidays on the Door2Tour.com website or give the team a call on 0845 956 9686 to find out more.
