Recommendations for young kids days out - Caroline (16th Mar 2022 - 09:46:22) Hi, I have two nieces (4 and 6) coming to visit but having no children of my own, I have no idea whereabouts to take them. I'm thinking any farms, play areas, theme parks (for little ones). If anyone has any suggestions I would be most grateful!

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Trevor Maroney (16th Mar 2022 - 10:19:44) If it's a dry day and they have play clothes with them I'd suggest Hogmoor Inclosure at Bordon. It has a café, parking and toilets.

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Caroline (16th Mar 2022 - 11:08:01) Thank you Trevor!

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Eleanor (16th Mar 2022 - 12:27:15) Staunton farm in Havant is perfect for that age.

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Caroline (16th Mar 2022 - 12:29:15) Brilliant. Thanks Jen.

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - igs (16th Mar 2022 - 12:33:17) Hollycombe Steam Fair (if open) is brilliant. Very rustic but my kids love it

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - J (16th Mar 2022 - 13:50:14) Petersfield Heath and Lake. Walk around the lake to see the ducks and swans and then there's a great children's playground. Toilets and cafe adjoin the playground. Local and free! Also Birdworld on the way to Farnham - sadly not free - but great for this age group.

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Caroline (16th Mar 2022 - 14:35:15) really appreciate these suggestions. Thank you.

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Anon (16th Mar 2022 - 14:51:45) Fishers farm park at wisborough green, nice mixture of farm and play areas in and outside

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Gill (16th Mar 2022 - 14:56:29) A little bit further away, but Fishers Farm Park at Wisborough Green is wonderful. Also, Sky Park Farm at Rogate - a red deer farm, but with play areas, walks and cafe. Alice Holt Forest has trails with play areas along the way. Or, if the weather's nice, most villages have a good playground and you could take a picnic for a memorable free day out! Milland Village Shop has a cafe inside and out with a great little rec area as does Fernhurst

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Marz (17th Mar 2022 - 22:56:02) I don't know how much you want to spend but a day out at Marwell Zoo is always a massive hit with our little ones of the same age. Lots of information on their website. I know there is controversy about a zoo but at their age they will just love it and you can always debate the benefits / pitfalls with the older one if inclined. If the weather is nice, finishing with an ice cream will also make you super popular!

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Helen (18th Mar 2022 - 10:38:49) How about the Alice Holt forest ? Bike hire and activities.

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Caroline (18th Mar 2022 - 11:00:29) Loving all these suggestions! Thanks all!

Re: Recommendations for young kids days out - Simon (18th Mar 2022 - 15:53:47) Would highly recommend Fishers for a day out, tonnes for kids to do there and some of it inside if it's poor weather.
