Top website introduces Family Active to help parents save on kids’ fun this summer holiday period
15 June 2009 – Top car hire comparison specialist Carrentals.co.uk has launched Family Active, a new scheme designed to help families make the most of their summer entertainment budgets this year. The programme offers free child entrance into top parks like Eureka! and Camelot as well as free walking and hiking maps plus money off MP3 audio tours for major cities.
Kids can get in free at top theme parks and entertainment destinations like Eureka!, Camelot, Go Ape High Wire Forest Adventure, Bekonscot Model Village & Railway, and Scotland’s Secret Bunker. The free entry vouchers are available to download from www.carrentals.co.uk/familyactive2009 and parents can also enter into a draw for a free family pass at Diggerland.
The new Carrentals.co.uk Family Active scheme provides not just cheap and free theme park entry this year, but also as many as 56 free walking and hiking maps from Go4awalk.com which detail popular walks around the country and rank them by difficulty and distance.
Also featured in the Family Active programme is a range of city audio tours at 20% discount. The files are supplied by specialist Walk Walk Tours in MP3 format and cover London, Edinburgh, York, Manchester and Chester.
Managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson, said: “Families have to watch the pennies this summer, so our new scheme will help parents to really get the most from their kids’ entertainment as well as enjoying a few city breaks themselves.”
Family Active doesn’t just help parents to save money this summer, it also offers travel tips, guidance on travelling with kids, help on getting the right car hire deal, holiday health tips and driving games and more.
