Stepdaughters 10 and 7

Tradition states that I buy DSDs an outing or an experience for Xmas. In the past I have bought them theatre tickets, London Eye tickets and Cadbury World tickets. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? DP said Alton Towers, but the bonus of me buying them a day out is I get to come too and I don't like theme parks! 😂
Any and all ideas gratefully received.

Do they like Harry Potter? The studio tours are amazing! Based close to london, so can tie it in with a visit? But it does take a full day, totally worth it though 😊

@Midnights

No, much to my chagrin as a huge HP fan myself, neither of them are remotely interested! Youngest might still get into it in a couple of years time, hopefully. Then she can join me and DS on our bi-annual pilgrimage!

Do you live near one of the artificial Snowdomes? (Like Xscape). A skiing lesson would be very seasonal. And sledging.

@HoundOfTheBasketballs oh no! Fingers crossed 😂

If wales is accessible to you, would they like bounce below? It's a huge cave system adventure playground type activity - we've given tickets as gifts for birthdays and the DC have loved it. Go-Ape is also a fairly popular one we've given too!

Woburn Safari Park
Warwick Castle

Some good suggestions here. I will definitely look at the ski dome options as there are 2 within a couple of hours of us.
We looked at Bounce Below when we were on holiday in Wales last year. Will double check prices and how long it would take to get there.
Warwick Castle and the safari park are both options to consider.

Chester Zoo

How about afternoon tea or theatre tickets ?

Go Ape went down very well with mine at that age.
Are there any bands they like?
Aquarium tickets?
