No need to panic — skip the "I'm bored!" and dive straight into fun with our incredible range of experience days across the UK. Whether you're entertaining little ones, thrill-seeking teens, or the whole family, we've got activities to suit all ages, interests, and budgets.

In the South East, families can enjoy iconic attractions in and around London. Visit SEA LIFE London Aquarium to explore fascinating marine creatures, followed by a two-course meal at a nearby restaurant, perfect for groups of two or four. For older kids and teens, The London Dungeon offers a spooky, immersive experience with live storytelling, accompanied by a tasty meal to complete the day.

In the East Midlands, adventure takes centre stage. Try your hand at axe throwing, guided by expert instructors in a safe and fun setting. Teens can hit the track with driving experience days, from junior lessons to supercar thrills. And for water-loving families, white water tubing offers a wild, laughter-filled ride through lively rapids.

The East of England keeps the excitement going. Enjoy a high-energy day of paintballing for up to six people, ideal for families or groups of friends. Budding racers will love karting sessions, and for those brave enough, skydiving experiences, either tandem or indoor, offer unforgettable, heart-racing moments.

Wherever you are in the UK, you'll find incredible experiences nearby. From animal encounters and wildlife parks to creative workshops, museum tours, and immersive theatre, there's something for every interest. Love the water? Try kayaking, paddleboarding, or canyoning. Prefer indoors? Escape rooms, movie studio tours, and city adventures are waiting to be explored.

Days Out in School Holidays

We truly mean it when we say there's something for kids of all ages to enjoy during their school break, no matter their interests or energy levels.

For racing fans and competitive kids, F1 Arcade offers a thrilling day out with immersive Formula 1 driving simulators, team-based challenges, and a buzzing atmosphere. It's a high-speed, high-energy experience that will leave them feeling like real racing pros, perfect for older children and teens.

Prefer something off-road and outdoors? Quad bike experiences are a fantastic way for adventurous kids (and parents!) to explore the countryside with a dose of mud, speed, and skill. With safety gear provided and instructors on hand, it's a brilliant choice for families who love an adrenaline rush.

Animal lovers won't be disappointed either. Our Animal Encounter experiences provide the opportunity to meet, feed, and learn about a diverse range of creatures, from friendly farm animals to exotic reptiles and everything in between. In some experiences, kids can even step into the boots of an animal keeper for the day, learning firsthand how to care for their favourite furry (or scaly) friends.

And if you're looking for something a little more peaceful and nature-inspired, consider a trip to one of the Royal Horticultural Society's (RHS) Gardens. These beautiful outdoor spaces offer inspiring scenery, family-friendly trails, wildlife spotting, and seasonal events that encourage kids to explore, learn, and enjoy the great outdoors, all while giving parents a chance to unwind.
