Marton Mere Holiday Park benefits from a fantastic location in one of the UK's holiday hot spots. Just 3 miles from the centre of Blackpool, famous for its tower and theme park, the site is a firm favourite with Haven customers and has recently been greatly improved. Although close to busy Blackpool the park feels very tranquil and has a nature reserve, Park Ranger station and plenty of open space for children to play. Taking its name from the Marton Mere nature reserve it sits in, the park is the embodiment of peace, while also offering a variety of activities for holidaymakers to participate in.
The central complex of the park has seen great investment and the improvements are quite spectacular. The heated indoor pool with its water slide and paddling area is popular as ever and offers fun inflatable sessions and swimming lessons. The park also offers an impressive Space Bowl flume, Aqua Gliders, Aqua Jets and even Water Walkerz. Who knew that walking on the water in a giant bubble could be so much fun?
While the indoor pool is great for all weather family fun, the outdoor Splashzone is very popular during the summer months. This safe, non-slip area feature waterfalls, fountains and water cannons and is a big hit with kids of all ages. Not to mention Marton Mere is one of the only Haven caravan parks to introduce a lazy river, open between May half term and the end of August Holiday.
Haven holidays are really all about having a great time and for many families this means having a good choice of activities for all ages. During peak season the budding Renaldo's in the family will just love the Coke FC football coaching. Beginners can learn new skills and experienced players can improve existing ones while having a great time and making new friends. If football is not your thing, then you could try the Archery, Fencing, Tennis, Bike Hire or Table Tennis. The new climbing wall, the introduction of activikids, and activities such as football rounders are the epitome of family fun.
Spending time as a family is key to a fantastic holiday, so Haven have ensured that there are plenty of things for the whole family to enjoy together. At Marton Mere, the Nature Reserve is a lovely place for a stroll and children will love spotting the wildlife. Families will also find the Bowlingo, The Jump, the amusements and kart hire very enjoyable.
