Days Out with the Kids
With the summer holidays fast approaching,
thoughts are turning to what to do with the children to keep them occupied for
six weeks. Make a list of places you all fancy going in advance of the holidays
to create a bit of excitement and anticipation about your days out. It will
also help you to keep in mind what you need for each activity. Luckily the ASDA George clothing range is on hand to kit you out in whatever
you need, whatever the weather, so if you need jeans, shorts, T shirts or
hoodies, George is the place to go. So where should you head on your days out
with the kids this summer? Take a look at a few suggestions below:
Catch a Ferry
Take a ferry to the Isle of Wight, Ireland, the
Isle of Mann, or France and have fun exploring a little further afield. Perhaps
combine your ferry trip with a holiday, or just explore for a few hours before
returning home on the ferry again. The ferry makes it all the more fun and
creates a bit of adventure.
Down on the Farm
Take the kids for a day out at the farm. There are
simply hundreds of farms throughout the UK all offering something different to
set them apart from the rest. You can enjoy milking time with the cows, tractor
rides, collecting eggs from the chickens, bottle feeding baby goats and pony
rides around the farm. Add to that some pretty spectacular play areas and you
have a great day out that all the family will enjoy.
Some great farms to visit with the kids are Longdown Activity Farm in the New Forest where you can have fun getting hands on and meeting
baby bunnies and chicks and bottle feeding the crazy baby goats, who push each
other out of the way just to get to the bottles. Another great farm is Godstone
Farm & Play Barn in Surrey. Hugely popular with families, you can interact
with the animals, enjoy the tractor rides, play in the sandpits, get lost in
the maze, build a den and burn off some energy in the indoor play area. Or, if
you’re in the Midlands, try the Farm Park at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire for
a fantastic adventure playground alongside cute animals.
Get Active
Kids who like a little action in their school
holidays will love the activity centres like Go Ape. Here you can
try your hand at segway on the special segway tracks throughout the forest, fly
down a zip wire, and brave the Tarzan swings, the high ropes and the tree top
obstacle course. There's so much to do that even the bravest child wont be able
to help but be thrilled as they whoosh through the trees and crawl through
tunnels up in the canopy.
Other great things to do during the holidays
include taking classes together, perhaps learning a new language or to decorate
cupcakes, visit the zoo or take a step back in time and follow in the footsteps
of England's past Kings and Queens at a stately home or castle. There's so much
to do during UK summers that you, and the kids, really will be spoiled for
choice.
