With half
term now well underway for many children, you may be looking for places to take
them for a fun day out. Following last week’s suggestions, here are a few more
ideas.
The
Historic Dockyard, Chatham, Kent – admission adults £17.50, children £11.00, (you can use Tesco
Clubcard vouchers) with tickets valid for 12 months from date of purchase
(excluding entry to a couple of their big events). The Dockyard re-opened on 16th
February following its winter break, and from now until 24th
February is offering visitors the chance to produce artwork for its current art
project. The Dockyard has some great exhibits and activities: explore the
lifeboat exhibition; take a tour of a submarine (one of our favourite bits);
board the HMS Gannet and the HMS Cavalier; get involved in rope-making at the
Victorian Ropery (we still have our piece of rope). This makes a great day out
for all the family.
Framlingham
Castle, Suffolk (English Heritage). A stunning castle that is well worth the visit, with the
added attraction of a ‘Family Fun Trail’ during half term. Follow the clues and
solve the puzzle to win a prize. Entrance to the castle is £6.50 adults, £3.90
children, £16.90 for the family. Don’t forget that you can get a couple’s
annual membership for £82, allowing free entry to EH properties (and discounts on
entry for some non EH attractions, including The Historic Dockyard above) for
yourselves and up to 6 children (under 19) per adult. Other membership packages
are also available, visit english-heritage.org.uk
Oceanarium,
Bournemouth, Dorset –
adults £9.95, children £6.50, family of 4 £25.50 (other family deals
available), with a 15% discount for online bookings. Marvel at the great
collection of sharks, turtles, clownfish, otters etc. During half term week
there are also special “Meet The Creature” and “Feed The Turtle” sessions as
well as competitions and quiz trails.
