Sundown Adventureland
The kids had a great day out at Sundown Adventureland. I think this was our most expensive day out this summer at £85. It’s marketed as an under 10s theme park. Our eldest is 10 so we thought we’d better squeeze this in as soon as possible! Although he and our eight year old are…

Eureka!
It was our first time at Eureka! and I thought it was a great day out. I was really looking forward to this one as I love science museums and thought it would be a good one for us all to stick together. We paid for it using Tesco vouchers so it was completely free…

Lincoln, The Collection Museum
It was great to have a day out in Lincoln. It was pretty busy as there was a Steampunk Festival going on. It was interesting to look at the costumes as we walked about the town. As it was lunch time we went straight to Pizza Express for our lunch which we paid for using…

Hall Farm Park
I came here twice over the summer, once just with my toddler and the second with all three children and friends. Such a good day out with plenty to do! There are animals to look at outside and an indoor barn too. You can buy food to feed a number of the animals. The children…

Mablethorpe Beach
This was one of my favourite day trips this summer. We hired a beach hut in Mablethorpe which only cost £30. We met some family down there and those who wanted to could sit outside there, as a number of chairs were provided. We had one that faced the sea so this was a great…

North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Pickering to Whitby
In the school holidays, we did a number of days out instead of a summer holiday. This, one of our day trips, involved travelling by car to Pickering in Yorkshire and then by train from Pickering to Whitby and back with two and a half hours to explore Whitby. The train was supposed to be…

Ark Wildlife Park, Stickney
We had a lovely day out at Ark Wildlife Park. I only had my 2 and 8 year old with me and we met some family there. Friends have recently told me about the ‘kids pass’ app which is available on the app store. They have a 30-day free trial for £1 so I signed…

Waters’ Edge Country Park
We’ve been here a few times and find this a good meeting spot when meeting friends or family who live over the bridge! This was the first time we had been inside the visitors centre here. We had quite a few children between us and they enjoyed having a play in the indoor play area…

Hartsholme Country Park, Lincoln
I had no idea about this place until a friend shared she’d seen it advertised by Lincoln Council. It has various summer activities for children put on by Hartsholme Rangers. We signed up for the ‘butterfly bonanza’ one and met a friend and her children there at lunchtime. We walked all the way around the…

Bransby Horses, Lincoln
Our day out here really surpassed our expectations as we knew it was free (donations welcome). We were here for nearly three hours and could have stayed longer. There is a free car park and an overflow car park if this is full. We started with our picnic in the picnic area next to the…
