Toddler-friendly days out
- Farm parks and petting farms: animals, tractors and play barns. See local days out.
- Aquariums: short, indoor and mesmerising. See zoos and aquariums.
- Gentle theme parks: Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park and LEGOLAND.
- Steam trains: see heritage railways.
- Free museums with play areas, like the Young V&A.
Saving money with toddlers
Under-3s go free at most theme parks, and under-5s are free at many heritage sites. Check our kids go free guide. A toddler-only trip during term time is often the cheapest and quietest of all.
Survival kit
- Snacks, then more snacks.
- Spare clothes and nappies or pull-ups.
- A favourite toy or comforter.
- Sun hat or waterproofs, depending on the sky.
- A lightweight buggy or carrier.
