Ideas for cheap but interesting days out with 18 month old - Hampshire?

[runtus]

Dh has 2 weeks off and we are looking for days out/ pleaces to visit with DS....don't want to spend a fortnight in softplay centres!

Thought we would go to the New Forest one day and maybe on the Watercress Line another (weather permitting!) but a bit stumped apart from that.

Any ideas??

BirdWorld
Alice Holt
swimming
if weather fine wrap up warm and visit Southsea.
most libraries have story or ryhme time.
hope this helps.

alum chine in bournemouth has a nice park right near the beach and nice cafe.You can park really close aswell.

Thanks, someone else mentioned Alce Holt to me so will def add that to the list. Don't fancy Birdworld - not too keen on caged up animals,esp birds..........just a personal thing.

Thanks everyone that helped!

How old is ds?

18 months so a bit tricky to find things for his age...........we will prob just do lots of wood walks and swimming but would like to liven it up a bit if possible!
