Days out nearby

• LEGOLAND Windsor Resort ↗

  ~10 miles · ~15 mins

  Theme park · nearby attraction

  Rides are pitched squarely at younger children, so even preschoolers can do most of the park. Miniland's tiny brick cities, driving school and splash areas keep a whole day busy, and it is an easy add-on to a Windsor or Thames Valley stay.

• Odds Farm Park ↗

  ~20 miles · ~30 mins

  Farm park · excellent toddler activity

  A classic hands-on farm where little ones bottle-feed lambs, collect eggs and ride on tractor trailers, with indoor and outdoor play to fill the gaps. A gentle, easy day near Beaconsfield and the Chilterns.

• Bocketts Farm Park ↗

  ~22 miles · ~30 mins

  Farm park · excellent toddler activity

  A working family farm with daily animal feeding, pig races in season, indoor play barn and a long astro slide. Under the North Downs, it is easy to pair with a Surrey Hills stay.

• Chessington World of Adventures Resort ↗

  ~22 miles · ~30 mins

  Theme park · ideal day trip

  Half theme park, half zoo: children ride a dragon coaster in the morning and watch lions and gorillas after lunch. The mix of gentle family rides and bigger thrills means siblings of different ages all find something, and it is barely 12 miles from central London.

• Bekonscot Model Village and Railway ↗

  ~23 miles · ~30 mins

  Castle / historic · ideal day trip

  The world's oldest model village: miniature towns, a working model railway and a ride-on train children adore. Small and charming, with a playground and picnic area.

• Hobbledown Epsom ↗

  ~24 miles · ~30 mins

  Farm park · excellent toddler activity

  A storybook-themed farm and adventure park with animals to meet, a big indoor play barn, rope bridges and treehouse-style climbing frames. Children happily spend hours here and it is minutes from the M25.

• Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens) ↗

  ~26 miles · ~45 mins

  Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip

  Beyond the glasshouses, Kew has a big children's garden with climbing nets and play areas, a treetop walkway and a badger sett to crawl through. Wonderful for a sunny day on a London break.

• Natural History Museum ↗

  ~32 miles · ~45 mins

  Children's museum · rainy day option

  Dinosaur skeletons, a moving T. rex and a blue whale hanging overhead make this a must for most children, and it is free. Pair it with the Science Museum next door for a full South Kensington day.
