The Easter Holidays have landed for many adults & parents across the UK which means you’re probably twiddling your thumbs with how to keep the kids occupied. We thought it would be a cracking idea to list some popular days out for you and your family to help ensure your Easter break is Sunny Side Up!
Planning in advance could save you a fortune, so if you’re heading somewhere fun this Easter like The Sealife Centre, Madame Tussauds, London Attractions or even Alton Towers, one of our many discounts & deals could reduce those costs even further.
And if you’re strapped for cash, there are plenty of fun things to do with your friends & family that don’t require spending a fortune. We’ve done all the thinking for you. Check out our list of cool ideas to make your Easter Break as Eggciting as possible!
Go For a Family Walk
Embrace the Spring Breeze this year with a totally cost-free family walk! If your family are lovers of the great outdoors, spend the day in one of the UK’s 15 national parks for a traditional walk. Call ahead to see if there are any guided walks or special events near you. Or, if you’re lucky to live close to the country or even by the sea, treat your family to a walk in the hills or a stroll down the promenade followed by some traditional fish & chips or a Sunday lunch. Soak up the history of your local town or head somewhere historic like Stonehenge, the Tower of London or Shakespeare’s house. Find a whole host of great locations and events near you at English Heritage and start planning your next day out today!
Go Swimming
The swimming baths are almost certain to be a winner with the kids during their Easter Break. Make the most of local offers at swimming baths near you where kids can swim free at many. If you’re looking for somewhere a little more exciting, how about heading up north to the UK’s Largest Indoor Waterpark – Blackpool’s infamous Sand Castle where you can ride the Masterblaster, splash the waves or kick back in the Tiki Cabana Spa.
Visit a Museum
Why not seize the opportunity for something a little more educational this Easter, but equally as fun by heading to a Museum. Many around the UK accommodate younger children and this can be the ideal way to cater to everyone’s interests. Even if none of your brood is historic buffs, they’re sure to find something inspiring. From Art or football museums to science & interactive museums, you’re bound to find one to delight your whole family this Easter. If you’re lucky, you may find one with Free Entry – bonus!
See a Movie at The Cinema
The cinema is the perfect way to keep the whole family entertained this Easter! Check out the latest movies on screens near you online at The Odeon or The Vue. From action-packed thrillers to rom-cons or the latest animated movie, something for every member of the family! Many venues host special morning events for younger children and package deals for families or groups! Why not treat yourself to some traditional Cinema snacks during your visit – I mean, what’s a movie without popcorn?
Prepare an Easter Egg Hunt
For the kids, Easter is mainly about Chocolate, so why not set up your very own Easter Egg Hunt this Easter Sunday. Bury miniature chocolate eggs, toys or just about anything in hiding places around your home and garden and let the kids loose to go and hunt! This is cost-effective and fun for the whole family! If you’d prefer to hunt on a larger scale, why not take the kids to an organised Easter Egg Hunt? Check out events near you online at the National Trust!
Go Away Together
What better way to make the most out of the Easter Holidays than a breakaway somewhere special with your loved ones. If you’re wanting to head somewhere further afield, why not consider extending your family day out to an overnight stay or weekend away? Go camping under the stars or rest your head in a city hotel! Wherever you choose to spend your Family Getaway, don’t forget to pack your Easter Eggs. From Last Minute City Breaks to theme park stays, spa breaks or camping retreats, there is so much available this Easter so don’t hesitate to book now using our selection of offers available at NetVoucherCodes.
Visit your local Zoo
If you and your family are big animal lovers, why not get up close and personal with exotic animals and creatures at your local zoo during the Easter Holidays. With plenty of Zoos across the country including Blackpool Zoo, London Zoo, Whipsnade Zoo, Chester zoo and many more, you’re spoilt for choice! If Zoos aren’t really your thing, why not check out conservation parks, rescue centres or falconry/own sanctuaries!
Tourist Days Out
Take selfies with the stars at Madame Tussauds, be mesmerised by water critters at The Sealife Centre or delve into some of the UK’s perilous past at the London or Blackpool Dungeons. There is a whole host of fun, tourist days out to be had during the Easter Holidays which prove fun for even the most discerning family member. Release your inner child at Shreks Adventure or hit up one of London’s popular attractions including a ride of the London Eye, a view from The Shard or a walk down the London Tower Bridge. With so much to see and do in the UK, you’re never stuck for a choice when it comes to a fun day out. Shop savvy and book online beforehand to secure those extra savings!
