For those frantic parents who are worrying about how to entertain the kids during Autumn time, stop!
Autumn is actually one of the best times to get out and about with your little ones, the weather isn’t too hot nor too cold and it’s a good opportunity to let them play outdoors.
Remember the days before all the tablets and phones, we would make the best memories when we went outside to play. Well, why not give your kids those same memories? We have found some of the best activities for you and your family to enjoy this Autumn.
When you think of Autumn, what pops into your head? Fallen leaves, cooler weather, maybe even Halloween, so why not get organised and go Pumpkin Picking? It’s great fun for the kids to go out and choose their own pumpkin for them to carve when the time comes!
Head to Cockbridge Farm in Surrey where you can choose your own pumpkin from a huge range of home grown ones. Whilst you’re there, enjoy playing games such as apple bobbing and tuck into some delicious ice cream.
If you’re looking for an action packed adventure, take a trip to Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent! Let your inner explorer go on safari and get up close with some of your favourite animals. When you’re ready for some food, stop for a hot meal or maybe just a sandwich at the restaurant or coffee house, not only does it make a fun day out for the kids but also for the adults – fun for everyone!
Alton Towers offers an exciting and thrilling experience to all who visit. During the Autumn season, Alton Towers puts on an event called Scarefest in light of halloween.
