Looking for a free day out? Then look no further than the Jet Age Museum. Ok so it's not as amazing as the Coventry Transport museum (another incredible free day out) but there's enough to keep little people occupied for an hour or so. Top Tips for visiting If you want to look inside… Continue reading Jet Museum

Oxford National History Museum
Most children have a dinosaur phase and unless you live in London (or fancy a day trip) then it can be hard to find any on display. The Oxford National History Museum is the ideal place to take little people. It's a gem of a museum with a wonderful range of animal skeletons (including a… Continue reading Oxford National History Museum
Lego Discovery Centre – Birmingham
Legoland Discovery Centre is the ultimate indoor Lego playground with 3 rides, 10 Lego build and play zones, a 4D cinema and much more! Top Tips 1. Book in advance - The attraction regularly sells out, especially during school holidays and weekends. 2. Book a slot for early or late in the day - Once… Continue reading Lego Discovery Centre – Birmingham
Eating out with children in Warwickshire…
It's the one thing I still find myself missing - those long leisurely afternoons spent in a beer garden on a wonderfully sunny summer day or a Sunday roast on a cold winters day snuggled around a log burner in a traditional British pub, perhaps having had a walk beforehand. These pubs/restaurants (all in Warwickshire… Continue reading Eating out with children in Warwickshire…
Stratford upon Avon with children
Ok so as a travel blogger I often get asked by friends, family and colleagues to recommend family friendly activities in our nearest touristy town, Stratford Upon Avon. So here goes... I've restricted this list to just those places and activities that are actually in the town or that are accessible (easily!) from the centre… Continue reading Stratford upon Avon with children
Touchdown Cafe – Wellsbourne Airfield
This has to be one of our favourite places to spend time - particularly on a sunny weekend! It serves a wonderful (but not overly healthy!) breakfast (can't vouch for any other meal). I can hear you asking so? What makes that so special? Well this is a truly unique cafe. It's based on an… Continue reading Touchdown Cafe – Wellsbourne Airfield
Jungle Town
Jungle town - Is an indoor child-sized town with many of the shops and services children interact with in real life. Jungle Town operates on a session basis, with 3 sessions a day. You can book and pay online before you go (I always do this!) or you can just turn up on the day. Both of… Continue reading Jungle Town
All Things Wild
All Things Wild - Another firm family favourite. This place is amazing....there really is something for everyone and for every weather condition! It's open all year (except Christmas Day and Boxing Day) between 10am and 6pm. There's so much to do here that one day wouldn't really do it justice. You could visit the indoor… Continue reading All Things Wild
Bourton-on-the-Water
Bourton-on-the-Water model village - Slightly further away from us is Bourton-on-the-Water, the picturesque cotswold village. One of the main tourist attractions is the model village - a one-ninth scale replica of the village of Bourton-on-the-Water, containing all the buildings from the Old Water Mill (now the Car Museum) down to the Old New Inn and… Continue reading Bourton-on-the-Water
Ragley Hall with children – CLOSED
We've been living in Alcester for just over 3 years and whilst we've visited Ragley on a number of occasions to attend some of the wonderful events they put on we'd never managed to find the time to visit the grounds and the house. When we received an invitation to spend the day experiencing the delights… Continue reading Ragley Hall with children – CLOSED
