Favourite places in Scunthorpe
Although Scunthorpe is not on our doorstep, we find ourselves going fairly often. As well as visiting a few shops, we love Vue Cinema here and it’s so convenient with multistorey parking which comes straight out to where the cinema is (level 2) and parking is free if you are visiting Vue. Scunthorpe Central Library…

Favourite places in Market Rasen
Market Rasen is a market town in West Lindsey. We love the library here, the staff are so friendly. It has a good children’s area with a train bookcase they can clamber on. They do lots of community activities here. In term time they have story time for little ones and various after school activities…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Twigmoor Woods
I hadn’t heard of this place before but a friend invited us along during the week with her little one. What a find! It has a car park (free) which we had no problem parking in but I wonder if it gets full on the weekend as it is fairly small. I took the pushchair…
