Days out in Hetfordshire this Easter Holiday

This year in Hertfordshire our Easter school holidays fell weirdly so our children go back to school on 19th April having gone back to school Tuesday-Friday after Easter Sunday = weird. But on the plus side, hopefully the second week of our Easter holidays will be quieter and we'll be able to enjoy some less busy days out as a family.

I thought I'd share some of the places we have been either in Hertfordshire or locally to Herts for suggestions of days out.

Firstly, we went to Willows Farm at the weekend and although it's not the cheapest of days out, it was really good and somewhere that you can definitely spend the entire day as a family. If you book online you can save some money on entry so planning ahead is definitely important with this one! You can see what we thought about it Click here

Another great place to visit is Aldenham Country Park, there is a lot to see and do here including the farm, walking around the lake, feeding the ducks, visiting 100 acre woods if you've got winnie the pooh fans and also pony rides. There are varies charges but it isn't too expensive and it's great to get the children out doors. You can read what we got up to at Aldenham Country Park click here

RHS Wisley isn't too far away and it's a fantastic garden to get the children out and about exploring in. There's so much to see that with little people we hardly ever get around a lot of it. It's ideal for a picnic and they also have a few places you can buy food too. You can have a look at what we got up to when we went a little while back, although they won't have butterflies there currently - something to remember for next year though! Click Here

RAF Hendon is a really good day out for children and adults alike, we enjoyed the spitfire experience here not so long ago as a special treat for Oliver trying so hard at school. We have been a few times now and the children would happily go again. There's a small charge for the carpark but other than that it's a cheap day out! They have a picnic area inside which is handy if like us you like to take your own food. Click here

If you want to splash out then Kidzania in London is fab - a little further to go but it's really good. Unfortunately it's only for 4 hours though and it's not the cheapest of days out so really it's a special treat option that won't last all day! However you won't find somewhere else like this Click here 

If you like soft play areas then Gambado's is a great option you can have a look what we thought when we reviewed it Click Here 

Other ideas include; swimming, cinema, bowling, the park - my favourite is still one in Bushey called Kings Georges park.

What have you got planned for the school holidays?
