I'm always getting asked for more school holiday deals and I'm always trying to find things a bit different. Here is a great 10 night trip to Canada in August from Bristol. The flight is 10-11hrs and with a very short stop en-route it's good flight times and all luggage/meals included.
You'll arrive into Toronto on 19/08 and hire car is included for the duration. I've budgeted slightly more for a better and bigger car. You'll stay for 6 nights at the Radisson in a quadruple room and breakfast is included too. There are slightly cheaper hotels and motels but this has much better reviews and includes breakfast too so I think it's worth the £5-£10 extra price in total. As you have a car you can easily get around Toronto but also explore further afield.
On 25/08 you'll check out and head to Niagara Falls. I've allowed 3 nights in this area - at the Space Motel - because there is so many things to do around the Lake Ontario region and as you have a car you can explore too.
On 28/08 you'll head back to Toronto for a final night and this time at the Best Western Plus which has a great rate which again includes breakfast.
You'll fly back to Bristol on 29/08 arriving home on 30/08.

Why not? I know people that have been abroad long haul with their kids. A friend who is a single parent has just got back from taking her 4 year old to NZ.
Some families want a beach holiday, an AI resort, other families would only go to the UK. Other people want something different and are happy to travel. For those with kids a bit older Toronto has a lot to offer and I think kids of any age would enjoy the Niagara falls cruise.

We did 14 nights in Toronto/Niagra last year with 3 kids although at a much higher price, we had a great time and kids still talk about it. Don't see why it cant be done with kids.

Niagara, now there's a town where everyone is related.

Be very careful with Otel.com, search them up on Tripadvisor, you'll see what I mean.

If you search for any OTA such as Amoma, Otel, Ebookers, Expedia, Hotelopia you will always find bad reviews. I always follow up any hotel booking with an email to the accommodation a couple of days after to make sure they have received my booking and never had a problem and I've used all of these companies many times before and even some lesser known ones such as getaroom.

Are you kidding? Why would anyone spend £2000 going to Butlins.

Why not? We took our 1 and 4 year old to New York for 10 days. Awesome trip. There's always stuff for kids to do.

have you been to the canadian side of Niagara? Its like blackpool, but on steroids.
Should be able to get a cheaper hotel than the space one. Can usually pick up a 3 star for £50 a night naming your own price.
Use a website like Priceline if your not fussy & happy to go for a secret deal or name your own price.
can usually narrow the hotel down naming your own price by looking at the hotel amenities. Only once I didn't get the hotel I aimed for - but still ended up in a Hilton Doubletree!
What kind of things did you get up to? And did you manage to find accommodation allowing 5 in a room?

Toronto is amazing, 3 weeks wasn't long enough to scratch the surface when I went. I don't regret going to Niagra but I didn't like it either, it reminded me of Blackpool, very weird place.
