HELP! Day out activities for kids ideas

Wed 16 Apr, 14:01

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great suggestions, which I have archived for future visits. 

My visitors went to Cogges Farm in the end, and were delighted to meet the baby ducklings. Hard to engage kids across three different age groups in the same activity, but you can't beat the appeal of baby animals! The adults also enjoyed the history and beauty of the house and grounds. They went to the Cotswold Wildlife park on the Sunday, when it was much quieter. I hope everyone (and their kids) are enjoying the Easter break and finding plenty to keep them occupied.

I've missed the time slot here, but for anyone else in future looking at this thread - we've only just discovered All Things Wild in Honeyborne near Evesham. It's reasonably priced, packed full of animals and activities and you can get there very easily on the train from Charlbury - a bonus being that if you can prove you've arrived by public transport you all get a free hot drink! Highly recommended.

I would agree with all of the above and also add the Story Muesuem at Oxford and the playground at Broadway. Both great for managing different aged kids.

I think our very own Banbury Hill Farm has disc golf, friends took their 9 yr lad, he raved about it.

There are, of course, more crocodiles at Crocodiles of the World site in Witney. Details and tickets here: https://www.crocodilesoftheworld.co.uk/

For those less fond of crocodiles and for younger children, Cogges Manor Farm is highly recommended: https://www.cogges.org.uk/

Maybe take them to see the Charlbury giant croc that Tim has spotted in the river?

I have friends with a 3 year old a 7 year old and a 9 year old staying. We'd planned to spend the day at Cotswold Wildlife Park but it's sold out. Any alternative ideas people with more experience than i have of entertaining kids of these age groups have very much appreciated!
