Maternity leave Covid boredom

I am on maternity leave and although most places have now opened up, DS is only 12 weeks old and I am still weary about the risk of taking him out unnecessarily.

I have booked a few outdoor restaurants for us to go to in the next few weeks, but are there any other fairly 'safe' places you would recommend bringing a small baby? I am losing my mind staying indoors most days.

Are you a National Trust member OP?

Tickets are released on a Friday (at 1 minute past midnight!) but that might be a nice walk with the pram and a cafe stop for you?

My baby is 3 months. We have been to kielder forest, hamsterly forest and knowsley safari park. We go to the beach most days too. I do have 2 older ones to enterain too though.
I have also booked onto some baby classes but they are outdoor for august. My friend has booked her 3 month old onto baby swim classes but I didnt feel brave enough for that

Thanks @LatteLover12 good idea I will have a look on the national trust site.

Thanks @Jrobhatch29 I will look into the forests I can go to. Also I thought all the baby classes were still cancelled but I will have a look to see whether the ones near me are now outside. Such a strange time to be having a baby!
