Haven Holiday Parks are one of the UK's most popular family holiday choices — affordable, fun, and well-located for exploring the surrounding areas. But what's nearby, and how do you get the best value?
Here's our guide to the best days out near major Haven parks, all with Family Adventure Pass discounts.
Haven Primrose Valley, Filey, North Yorkshire
The closest Haven to the best of Yorkshire. Within 45 minutes: Flamingo Land (our top recommendation), Scarborough Sealife, and the gorgeous North Yorkshire Moors.
Day out budget with pass: Family of four at Flamingo Land — around £96 (saving £64 on gate price).
Haven Caister-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Great Yarmouth is an absolutely classic British holiday destination. Pleasure Beach Great Yarmouth is right in town — funfair rides, arcades, and the seaside. BeWILDerwood forest adventure park is 20 minutes away and brilliant for ages 3-12.
Haven Craig Tara, Ayr, Scotland
Robert Burns country — and some brilliant Scottish attractions nearby. Heads of Ayr Farm Park is excellent for young children. Culzean Castle (National Trust for Scotland) is free for NT members.
Haven Devon Cliffs, Exmouth, Devon
Crealy Adventure Park near Exeter is the obvious choice — Devon's biggest attraction park, easy 30-minute drive. Also consider: Paignton Zoo, Pennywell Farm, and the magnificent Dartmoor National Park (free).
Getting the most from your Haven + pass combination
Many Haven parks offer their own entertainment programme, so you might not even leave the park every day. Use your Family Adventure Pass on your biggest day-out days — typically the first full day and one other during the week.
Plan two paid attraction visits, use the pass for both, and you'll typically save £60-80 compared to gate prices. That's the pass paying for itself on a single Haven week.
