Day Out within 2 hours of Winchester/Southampton

[liveeverysecond]

Looking to book a few days out in the summer holidays within 1-2 hours of Hampshire with 3DDs (10-14).

Odd days so not necessarily 3 in a row (2 days 1 week, 2 days the next). Any recommendations for decent days out... we have a possible day trip to London but looking for other ideas 😊

What sort of thing do they enjoy?
Hampton Court Palace? New Forest Wildlife Park? Splashdown in Poole?
There’s loads of stuff within 2 hours!

Calshot activity centre and beach
Southsea in Portsmouth - great beach, amusements on the pier, icecream
Go ape
Paultons
Lymington - nice play park, see the yachts, boat trips
Highcliffe - great beach

Lulworth Cove/Durdle door?

New forest water park? Mine love the inflatable obstacle courses and you can also lake swim/picnic/try wakeboarding

Try paddleboarding? I like woodmill in Southampton for absolute beginners.

Or stoked watersports in stokes bay if you want to try Sea paddleboarding while supervised and supported. They are a lovely team

Or I think it's prime paddling in alverstoke where you can hire a giant paddleboard

Or punting in Oxford. We took an assortment of teens/tweens earlier this year and they really enjoyed it
