Everyone’s hip pocket nerve is hurting right now. But we all want to make great memories for our kids.
What to do?
A family trip to the movies could be good. If you are a multimillionaire.
It’s 80 bucks for the tickets alone. If you feel uncomfortable smuggling in Snakes and Doritos under your jumper, you’ll spend as much again on snacks.
That’s no parent’s idea of ‘fun’.
Bowling? Two games for a family of four is about an hour and a half of insanely loud, windowless diversion. For about the price of a used Corolla.
And then there’s the inevitable visit to the kiosk and video games parlour which are guaranteed to drain your wallet, along with the last tatters of your will to live.
An hour later, this high fructose amusement is all but forgotten, and we’re back to, “I’m bored” the moment those blood-entertainment levels slump again.
There is a better way. Find your way to an Ingenia Holiday Park.
Ingenia Holiday Parks have been carefully designed to make winter holidays fun for everyone. Yes, even Mum and Dad.
Prices are lower in winter, making even our most deluxe accommodation options more affordable.
And we pack in so much fun stuff, you could keep the kids entertained for a week, without ever having to leave the park.
Our parks offer a safe, contained environment, where you can let the kids run wild and wear themselves out making friends, riding bikes, racing pedal karts, swimming, exploring and clambering around on jungle gyms and playgrounds. <br>
Some of our parks have indoor pools and water parks the kids will happily spend all day in. It comes with our wrinkled fingertips guarantee!*
Another of our parks even has a bowling alley. Which is FREE. Just like all the other amenities.
The jumping mat, pools, bike tracks, playground and mini golf. The games room, basketball and tennis courts, boat ramp, firewood for the braziers. You can even bring your groceries with you and make use of your cabin’s fully equipped kitchen to keep catering costs down.
No add-ons, no catches, no surprises, no Ingenia Holiday Park tokens, no lining up. Most parks are dog-friendly, so no need to spend a stack on pet-minding.
While the kids are outside, you can relax in the ultra-comfortable cabins. Read your book, have a nap, bake some scones, watch some telly, have another nap. Maybe even squeeze in special ‘mum and dad’ time. Try doing that at DreamWorld! **
You can find an Ingenia Holiday Park in some of the country’s most sought-after holiday destinations. If you’re planning an extended stay, you’ll have the chance to really immerse yourself in these beautiful places, without hordes of summer tourists.
Enjoy uncrowded beaches and bushwalking and off-peak prices everywhere in town.
Check out the local museum, speciality stores and markets, or take a drive to nearby national parks. Take it easy, grab some brunch at a cafe or dinner at the pub and enjoy a more authentic experience, without being fleeced.
If you want good times and great value this winter, it has to be an Ingenia Holiday Park.
*We were just kidding about the wrinkled fingertips guarantee.
** Definitely do NOT try that at DreamWorld
