For weekends where children are guaranteed to be busy and entertained, you don't have to spend thousands of pounds on flights abroad. Instead, there is one British seaside town recently crowned as a great place to avoid iPads.
A new study at AttractionTickets.com named the best boring and boring destinations for families in 2025. Ticket experts have analyzed hundreds of thousands of reviews from over 160 popular holiday destinations and found spots that most parents said their children love. The best place topping on our list is Blackpool Pleasure Beach, UK.
Even global giants like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando scored the highest overall scores. This was closely followed in second and third place for boring bust abilities.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach has 10 roller coasters for kids and adults as well as five indoor rides if the weather isn't playing the ball. There is also Nickelodeon land. Kids can meet their favorite characters and enjoy 12 themed rides, from SpongeBob to Por Patrol.
For younger children who may not meet height restrictions, four vehicles are still rewarding for all ages.
“We're looking forward to seeing you in the future,” said Oliver Brendon, CEO of AttractionTickets.com. “Today, it's more difficult than ever to entertain kids on vacation. Many kids are used to the instant gratification of iPad games and interactive TV shows, so traditional holiday moments, such as lounges at the pool and playing on the beach, often fail to attract attention.
“It's no surprise that destinations such as Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort are at the top of the list.
“For parents, that means fewer screen time fights and more meaningful moments come together.
“If you're hoping to break your iPad habits this summer, the data speaks for itself — swapping Wi-Fi for rides, tower drops, or historical activities. Whether you're planning a stay or a long-distance escape, real-world excitement is the key to banishing your child's boredom in 2025.”
