What’s more, families can extend their trip with a stay at the all new CBeebies Hotel.

Boys and girls can go in search of the wart-nosed woodland dweller, The Gruffalo, at Chessington World of Adventures Resort and seek out the popular children’s character on the all new Gruffalo River Ride.

At Sea Life Centres across the UK, future marine biologists can explore the wonders of the ocean and come face to flipper, fin and tentacle with Gentoo penguins, giant sea turtles, sharks, rays and octopuses.

And finally, families can start their ninja training at the new Lego Ninjargo World at Legoland while scare themselves silly on the extended Derren Brown's Ghost Train at Thorpe Park.
