What else to do near Bletchley Park?

[NancyJoan]

DH and I taking 14 yr old DS to Bletchley Park on Sunday. It’s too far to do in a day, so want to do something nearby-ish tomorrow afternoon. Nothing sporty, and the weather isn’t great for anything very outside-y. Any bright ideas?

Woburn Abbey / Safari Park?
There is a ski dome, a bowling alley

Ski dome and bowling are in MK but Bletchley is right by MK

Milton Keynes museum is a bit of a hidden gem! It's surprisingly interesting
And a nice tea room

There's one of those 'air ride' things in MK where you stand in a grill and then 'ride' the air jet. DS loved it.

The National Museum of Computing is right next to Bletchley Park.

Is climbing too sporty (there are climbing walls)?

Plus multiple escape rooms and things like bowling.

Virtual reality centre in MK city centre

Crazy golf (both indoor and outdoor)

@redskytwonight Is the computing museum a thing to do on a separate day, do you think? Or all in one?

We've only ever done them separately (but we do live pretty close by).

I would say it depends how much time you want to spend at both places and how much interest you have in them. With Bletchley Park we tend to take food with us and take our time so we can easily be there for 5-6 hours. The National Computer Museum would be 2 hours max (for us) - DH and I like to go all nostalgic over the old tech, whereas the DC mostly just like to play with the newer ones.

You could do them both in one day, but I think you might find it too much information overload!
