I think the aqua park inflatables are about the only thing that both children will enjoy. Even DH who normally hates cold water finds it quite fun.

Nature walks for us - with a little cup to collect interesting stones, leaves and bits, make a game out of how many cats and dogs we see, chase butterfly's, just have a chat - our 4 year old does NOT want to walk anywhere and this is the only way she will
Also love a water park/splash pad

We love making mini pizzas, watching movies, riding bikes together and at the weekends swimming.

We love our Saturday morning ritual - Lego club at the library, brunch at the local cafe and then playing in the park. Simple family time together.

Going to one of the parks nearby and every Friday we have a movie night where we make a bed on the living room floor and watch a film. Then the boys have a sleepover downstairs.

We love cycling to a local park or museum with eldest on his bike and youngest on a bike seat

Walking the dog after Sunday lunch, usually we drive to a spot by the river, then home for board games and tea.

We love cosying up with a take away to watch a movie. We don't do it very often, so it's a special treat.

We love a weekend breakfast in bed, all three of us piled in with tea and toast, planning the day ahead. Rainy days we love board games like Monopoly or Cranium (junior!), sunny days we love a walk by the river with a bit of a paddle if it’s hot enough.

Quite rare now they are older but:

Theatre as a £££ activity - love it, we try to go when we can
Playing cards - hilarious and replacing board games for our Sunday nights with whoever is around
Small town with sweet shop/cathedral/coffee shop mooching

We love getting round the table for board games. Sometimes we play competitive ones, other time co-op ones to avoid upset about losing. Loads of different games played in our house, if we can get the grandparents to join in that's even better!

We love cooking (and then eating) together. The children all love baking, but also enjoy helping to make soup, pizza, veggie bolognaise or chilli too. They even want to lay the table if they’ve made the dinner!

Going to the park or the beach, both 10 minutes walk from our house.

Indoors we all enjoy a movie night and playing board games.

we all enjoy sitting outside in the the garden, cooking food outside, lighting the firepit and on rainy days and in winter, watching movies, playing interactive computer games, and making and cooking pizza together (we invested in a pizza stone last year and love it )

This summer we have been enjoying open air cinema - much more informal than sitting in a normal cinema, with picnics or food/drink bought on site and our own chairs. The gamble with the weather adds an element of risk, but it is lovely sitting under the stars to watch a film.

All the different generations in our family meet up most weeks, either in our homes or at a venue. We all enjoy gardening, swapping plants and helping each other. Weekends away, on the beach with the dogs, board games in the evening, long walks and picnics.

Trips to the beach. It’s free and the children absolutely love it. we live near lots of beautiful beaches and we feel very lucky.

We bought the English heritage pass as we love to explore all of the different places and it's saved us loads of money, my little girl loves to explore the buildings/castles and being able to explore the outdoors too

Lego. More DH and DC than me, but I do join in to make it a 'family thing'.

It's extended to watching Lego Masters Australia on TV which I admit is brilliantly entertaining. We have a routine if watching together with a magnum each.

We really enjoy exploring new places and having new experiences. Whether that's going on a walk, visiting a castle or seeing animals at the zoo.

It's become a bit of a challenge to find the best places to visit on a tight budget!

Swimming is something we all enjoy doing together, and if it's a water park with slides and wave pools then all the better.

We love board games, playing ball games, making obstacle courses, gardening - growing & harvesting & cooking with home grown produce, playing video games together, baking, crafting, reading together, and watching family films

We love going to the petting farm together, going to the cinema (0n 2 for 1 events) getting the kitchenaid out and making a chocolate cake from our 'secret family' aka mary berry recipe - all have a job to do weighing, mixing, melting pouring, setting the timer and eating

We have family evenings in, with films and takeaway pizzas, as this appeals to all ages.

Open Water swimming (the sea!) and then having a hot drink to warm up afterwards.
Dog walks
competitive Wordle and Duolingo with my 9 year old (he’s faster and better than me )
