Summer In Berkshire. Top Days Out And Things To Do With The Kids

Posted on: 11 July 2017

When it comes to making the most of summer, it is good to have a few activities at hand. Hopefully the weather will be warm and pleasant, as this increases the options that you will have at your disposal but it would be unwise to assume that outdoor activities will be suitable for every day this summer in Berkshire.

If you are looking for top days out and things to do with the kids, this is a list of ideas that are ideal for all of the family.

The Living Rainforest

It is often difficult to convince the kids to do anything remotely educational during the summer break but a trip to The Living Rainforest, in Newbury in Berkshire, is a fantastic way to spend a day. There are two separate rainforest climates in this destination and if you or your kids have an interest in rare creatures and species, this is a must-see attraction in Berkshire.

There aren’t too many chances to see the plants and wildlife available in The Living Rainforest, especially not with the long-term concerns over the rainforests themselves. This makes this destination an educational, informative and fun day out that is not too far for you and the family.

Windsor Castle

You may be thinking that while Windsor Castle is a hugely important attraction in Berkshire, it may not be too suitable for kids, but this isn’t the case. In fact, Family Saturdays at Windsor Castle have been set up with the whole family in mind, and if you’re looking to introduce your children to the history of this stunning attraction, the weekend is the ideal time to visit.

There are trails that allow kids to learn while exploring and with a specialist children’s audio guide, you can be confident that your children are learning at an appropriate rate. There is a special range of programmes lined up for every Saturday, and as this schedule changes regularly, there are reasons to come back throughout the summer.

Most kids appreciate the storytelling days and with a chance to dress up in replica costumes of the time, and to wear armour, this is an engaging and interactive way to learn about the past. With a range of workshops on offer, families have the chance to spend time together in a creative manner.

Cliveden

This garden may allow you and your family to follow in the footsteps of nobility, for many youngsters, the real attraction lies in the Storybook Play Den. This is a chance for kids to enjoy themselves in area filled with storybook characters carved in wood and there is also a maze that will bamboozle and delight the entire family.

If the weather is nice and you are looking for a place where you can relax and enjoy some stunning sights while knowing there is a chance for your kids to have an adventure, Cliveden is an excellent option to have at your disposal.

Go Ape at Swinley Forest

The Go Ape brand is one that is recognised across the United Kingdom and if you’re looking for a fantastic day out for all of the family, this destination in Bracknell is well worth considering. The Tree Top Junior Area is the ideal destination for younger kids, with this being a safer area that will still provide plenty of fun and excitement for children.

Snelsmore Common Country Park

Of course, if the weather holds, all you need is an open area to have fun this summer and Snelsmore Common Country Park, in Newbury, is of interest. There are two main picnic areas if you are looking to make a day of it and there is a chance for the family to see cattle and ponies at close quarters.

Coral Reef Bracknell's Water World

Scheduled to re-open in August 2017, you may not want to get too excited about the Coral Reef Bracknell's Water World just yet, but this could be a fantastic destination to enjoy at the end of summer. The renovations will hopefully create a stunning day out for all the family, and there are pools, slides and activities for people of all ages. This means if you have a family that stretched out across the years, Coral Reef Bracknell's Water World should provide a central location where everyone can enjoy themselves.

No matter what the weather holds or what you like to do, you should find that there is plenty for you and the kids to do this summer in Berkshire.
