A friend who’s setting up a new family-focused business recently asked “What makes for a great family day out?” He was mainly interested in indoor experiences. This is what I said as an ultimate wishlist - what did I miss?!
- It needs to be accessible with a buggy
- If you want me to leave my buggy, make sure there’s a big, well located and fairly secure area for putting it in
- It should be clean and smell good
- Plenty of nice loos. Sinks the kids can reach with water that won’t scald them. Ideally some that are kid height or have kid seats
- It should be secure - kids that are ‘runners’ shouldn’t be able to break free etc.
- Not feeling time-pressured (a bit of forgiveness if we arrive a bit late; opportunities to take the temperature down if the kids are hyped; being able to do a loo or snack stop if required)
- Storage lockers can be great (depending on the set-up)
I’m really interested in whether you think I’ve missed the most obvious thing!!
