Hi
Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations of things to do with the dc over a few days in Jersey?
We are going in April so I assume won't be days on the beach
One day I think we will go to the zoo but any other recommendations would be great

Dc are 2 and 8
TIA

Hamptonne Country Life Museum is a good trip. There are animals to meet and an adventure playground.
The Maritime Museum is really interactive and you can see, touch, hear and even smell exhibits. It’s a good rainy day activity.
Mont Orgeuil Castle has various things to keep children interested, such as a princess and knights dressing up box as well as dungeons and towers to explore.
At Jersey Pottery you can see the pottery being made, fired and decorated. Allow plenty of time if you want to decorate your own and do it at the start of your trip. Collect it in a few days, or have it mailed to you at home.
Aquasplash has a great family pool with three flumes, fountains, jacuzzi and a wave machine. There are sauna and steam rooms, and also a very shallow area ideal for babies and toddlers. One of the 3 flumes is for tyre rides - this is gentler than the two main flumes. The flumes have a minimum height restriction of 1.2m.
The attraction that I think offers the best value for money and range of activities for children in Jersey is the aMaizin maze. You can easily spend the whole day here, there is so much to do. The activities have been chosen by people who really understand what children enjoy. They change slightly every year, but always include a variety of go-karts, tractor-rides and a water pistol range. The activities in the adventure park area are all included in the admission price, which is very reasonable. Choose a day when the weather is good - almost all of the activities are outdoor. Tamba Park is similar.
There are some great walks suitable for families with children in Jersey. My favourite is St Catherine’s Woods because of the stepping stones and rope swings. The Railway Walk is good if you need to take a pushchair or pram.
St Ouen's Bay and St Aubin's Bay are good for kite flying when there is a breeze.
The Tree House is the place to eat out with kids.

Wow thank you so much ricekrispie such great advice.
We love to walk and the dc are always better after a good day outside so we will definitely look up the walks and the amazin Park and swimming and the castle.
I think we may need to book a longer trip!!
Very excited now

Elizabeth Castle is also worth a visit.

Samares Manor is lovely, less there specifically for kids but great just to walk and let them run around.

The Nigel Mansell collection is also good if anyone has an interest in cars/F1 etc.

You will have a fantastic time. Jersey is an amazing place. I love it.

Thanks.
We booked it without really looking into all the things we could do but a vague idea.
I'm a planner so as the holiday is getting closer I thought I needed to ask for recommendations.
