This is just a short blog post (Ed: if you say so) to answer a commonly asked question about day passes for Center Parcs. The short answer is that you can only buy a Center Parcs day pass in the UK if you already know someone who is staying at the resort. They need to add you as a guest via their booking and pay £37 for under 12s or £49 per adult. A family of four pays £162 per day. Under threes get in free (i.e. 0-3 year olds). These were the prices when we last checked, but it might have changed! How can you get a Center Parcs day pass if you don't know anyone staying onsite? Center Parcs Europe make it much easier to buy a day pass than Center Parcs UK (this is Erperheide in Belgium) Unfortunately, you can't just book a day out at Center Parcs if you happen to live near a resort and fancy using the facilities. Center Parcs also don't want you to turn to Facebook and ask a stranger to put you down as a guest. The day passes are intended for 'close family and friends'. People who try to sell day passes are attached to a zip wire and are thrust at great speed out of the park (I may have made that bit up, but they will certainly be asked to leave). Are there any other legitimate ways to get a day pass at Center Parcs?This is a bit convoluted but bear with me. Let's say you know a family of three that is planning on booking a two bedroom lodge at Center Parcs. As far as I'm aware, it is acceptable to ask them to add you onto their booking - even if you aren't staying with them for the entirety of the stay. You could then visit them and use the facilities. As I said, this is allowed as far as I'm aware, but please politely correct me if you know otherwise. You aren't allowed to sell your spare spaces to random people. What about a spa day at Center Parcs?There is another option for day visits to Center Parcs. You can sign up for an Aqua Sana spa, which is based at each Center Parcs. This gives you access to an outdoor pool, saunas, steam rooms, restaurants, shops and some other treatments. However, you don't get access to the Subtropical Swimming Paradise (the main swimming pool with the slides and flumes) and you can't sign up for other Center Parcs activities. Spa days vary in price depending on what you sign up for but a spa day with lunch at Aqua Sana starts at around £120. Can you get day passes for Center Parcs Europe?Yes you can. Center Parcs Europe is a different company, which runs things in their own way. They have no problem with you booking a day pass. Of course, it's not terribly convenient to visit France, Belgium, Germany or the Netherlands for a day trip but you might be able to squeeze in a day visit whilst on holiday elsewhere or whilst travelling through. The price of visiting a Center Parcs in Europe varies depending on when you visit and which park you choose. I found prices ranging from €22 - €48 (£18-£40) and you might find an even wider range. All you need to do is visit one of the Center Parcs Europe websites (e.g. CenterParcs.fr or CenterParcs.eu) and choose the park that you want to visit. You then click on 'day tickets'. In case you are wondering, the Center Parcs Europe with particularly good swimming pools are:
These are the 'Aqua Mundo' at Center Parcs Europe that score at least 4.3/5 from reviewers on Google Reviews. Don't assume that all of the Center Parcs Europe have equally good swimming pools - they are not as consistent as the UK resorts.
