Uncle Henry’s
This was our first trip ‘behind the garden wall’ at Uncle Henry’s. Uncle Henry’s is a cafe and farm shop in Gainsborough which also has a great playground area. On Tuesdays it has a small soft play type area Tiny Tots which is nice to visit if you have a little one (probably most suited…

Nostell, Yorkshire
We visited Nostell near Wakefield with a free National Trust ticket through Sky with some family. It was a fair drive but there aren’t many in Lincolnshire! Normally it would cost £30 for a family ticket. We started by looking around Nostell Priory which was interesting. They had lots of tour guides who were very…

Bewilderwood, Norfolk
I’ve been wanting to take the kids to Bewilderwood for years after seeing it on one of those ‘best places to take your kids before they are 18’ type lists like this one. It’s also been recommended by family and friends. Since we’ve never lived near either the Chester or Norfolk Bewilderwood it hasn’t happened…

Whisby Nature Park
It was our first visit here and what a lovely place. This is another great place for a cheap day out with the kids in nature, and to get some exercise. It is dog friendly so if you have a dog this is a bonus. Car parking is either £2.50 or £1.50 depending on the…

North Lincolnshire Museum
We love going to museums in our family and the fact that they are often free is an added bonus, especially in the summer holidays when you may be trying to make your money stretch. It was our first visit to the North Lincolnshire Museum and I took my youngest two and we met some…

William’s Den, Yorkshire
William’s Den is such a fantastic place. It had been highly recommended as a day out by a friend so had been on my list of places to try. We were invited to join my friend and children to the ‘pitch up and play’ which cost £70 to play in William’s Den on the first…

Lincoln Castle
We had some friends visiting from the South and chose Lincoln Castle as a meeting place for their way up, and thought all the children (from 3 to 16) would enjoy it, as well as the adults! It’s somewhere we’ve been wanting to visit since we moved to Lincolnshire so it was great to finally…

Elsham Hall
I had a trip to Elsham Hall Gardens and Country Park during school time with my youngest and a friend and her little one. The children were both under three so were free to get in. It was £6.25 for adults. They also do season tickets. This was our second visit here and we have…

Cambridge
We decided to stay in a hotel near Legoland the night before our latest Legoland trip so we could get there early and make the most of the day. Cambridge seemed like a good place to stop on the way to the hotel in order to have a full day the day before too. We…

Skegness Aquarium
Over the Easter holidays we went to Skegness Aquarium. We used the special offer by the Lincolnshire Co-op to get 20% off, which brought the price down to £30 for two adults and two children (under 3s were free). We had a slight issue that we arrived after a bit of a drive with our…
