Summer holidays are almost here, and most parents will be searching for UK days out to keep their kids entertained.
Fortunately, we are packed with an incredible amount of child-friendly attractions and activities.
To help you plan an unforgettable summer, here are some ideas for fun family days out in the UK.
Head To The Zoo
A visit to a zoo makes a fun day out for the whole family.
Zoos allow children the unique opportunity to get up close to many exotic animals. They are brilliant for learning about different species all around the world.
There is also usually live feedings and educational talks on offer throughout the day to keep kids entertained.
ZSL London Zoo is the oldest scientific zoo in the world and is currently home to over 17,000 animals.
The zoo offers a number of exciting zoo experiences. Like becoming a keeper for the day and photography workshops, to make your family day out even more memorable.
Free UK Days Out: Get Out In Nature
Getting out and enjoying nature is a great family day out that doesn’t have to cost anything.
Going on a walk, arranging a family picnic, cycling around a lake, or planning a camping trip. These are all fun ways for you and your family to spend some quality time together and enjoy the relaxing benefits of being in nature.
There are a number of incredible national parks and green areas located all across the UK. You shouldn’t need to travel far to find a great place to spend the day.
Visit Your Favourite Pub
Spending the day at the pub may not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering family-friendly days out.
However, many pubs welcome families and offer a variety of fun activities to keep the kids entertained.
This means you can enjoy a drink in the beer garden, while your kids enjoy the play area or take part in fun activities.
For example, The Flintgate Pub in Weybridge offers free art and craft activities to children every weekend, so kids are entertained, and families can enjoy a fun, stress-free meal.
Hit A Theme Park
Theme parks are fun for the whole family as there are plenty of exciting rides and activities to keep everyone from small children to adults entertained.
Legoland is one of the most popular theme parks in the UK. There are over 150 rides, exciting shows, incredible creations made from Lego, boat trips, and even a fire breathing dragon!
The park is aimed at children aged between two and 12 years old, making it perfect for families with young children.
If you have older children, then consider heading to Alton Towers. This theme park has a vast selection of exhilarating rides, and there’s even a spa, golf course, and water park.
