If anyone could advise which are good and which are a waste of money, that would be great.

My children are 10 (severely autistic), 8 and 3 (all girls).

We don't book much as there's the huge swimming pool to sep d hours at and there are also loads of outdoor playgrounds and cycling/ scootering, we go to the nottingham one and there is also a lovely free nature centre where you can easily spend an hour or two, we do book 10 pin bowling and last time did roller skating but probably won't bother with that again. There's also loads of ducks to feed - the time takes care if itself especially for littlies.

Well, I guess they won't all do the same thing because the 3 year old will be too young for some things and the 10 year old will be too old for some activities the 3 year old might like.

But archery for the 8 and 10 year old....also the high ropes, jacob's ladder thingy was a big winner with my 8 and 9 year old who raved about it (expensive but worth it)

Some of the guided nature trails are rather lovely

We enjoyed the laser combat (laser guns out in the open - so like quaser but in day light and outdoors) but am not sure how that would go down with your 10 year old?

I really enjoy the crazy golf as a whole family activity

Thanks for replies - it is difficult to plan for the 10 year old as she is so unpredictable! I think the 8 year old might enjoy archery.

Do you think the crafty stuff (especially for the 3 year old) is worth it or waste of money?

Marking place as we're thinking of it too. Our DD is nearly 2.

I am thinking of booking archery for 8 year old dd. Have booked pottery for all three girls.

Now wondering about mammal magic or party hour for the 3 year old - has anyone done either of these?

I looked at the princess and pirate party but noticed it will take up the whole of one morning and I was wondering if the hour long one would suffice? She is party mad though - much more than her sisters at that age!!

I am fairly sure pottery painting and going to the pool will be fine for the 10 year old - she loves water slides and painting.
