    Can you give us a budget? Do you want to be able to have the kids looked after while you and the missus go out? Would you prefer somewhere busy or out in the sticks?

    Sorry guys...Its more so towards the kids than us m8,as I dont really mind where we go just somewhere the kids enjoy it.More kids orientated if you get what I mean...But nah wouldnt leave the kids to go out or that m8,not on me hols for that..budget up to £2,500-3,000
    as want to go for a few weeks or up to 10 days or so.....America is out the question though,criminal record in all,dont wash apparently over there now Oh and hopefully have a GYM Come on guys,surely theres more guys been abroad or the like that can give some input......
    @Pongo,me daughter has been to Eurodisney last year and by the sounds of things,a few of the kids didnt think it as up to much...

    I would of said disney but judging from the comments it a no go

    Ireland, fair enough aint that far away but quite a lot to do but thats just me.

    My auntie wen to barcelona last year with the kiddies said it was a good time for all.

    Mallorca or algarve

    above are the places my family have been to who have kiddies and all have enjoyed.

    Yep, Barcelona's a good call. There's even a beach for the kiddies.

    I went to spain with my Family (2 girls 2 boys + mum, dad) when I was about 14 youngest was 6.

    We stayed in the Costa Daurada (pure family resort with a few bars and a bit of nightlife)

    http://www.costadaurada.org/en/index.asp

    From there we went on day trips to barcelona zoo, Porta venturea theme park (Dragon Kahn is the best rollercoster i've been on to date) did a bit of crazy golfing, think there was a go-kart track there also.

    We did one beach laze around day followed by a day were we went out and did something . It worked very well as some of the trips were a good full day and you were pretty knackered by the end of it and needed a rest day at the beach plus if you looking after 4 kids i'm sure you will need it

    £10 on buckets and spades will see you good for 6 hours hassle (Ish) free parenting unless you see yourself as a budding sand civil engineering expert trying to keep the sea out with ya sand barrier (as my dad did lol )
