Toddler attractions/day out

[SFRSmum]

Very vague criteria but im looking for ideas for a holiday base for my nearly 2 year olds birthday

We are based in Scotland but can and do travel nationwide quite easily so distance isnt an issue.

What would be your top small kids attractions in the UK? Could be anything, theme park, national trust property, museum......

Hoping to incorporate it with a ride on a double decker bus for my 5 year old, so near a larger town or city that has these is a bonus! (Yes we live very rural!)

We will book a lodge in the area so not looking for accommodation, just trying to narrow down an area!

Norfolk!

Bewilderwood adventure park
Blickling Estate National Trust
Bure Valley miniature railway
Boat trip seal spotting Blakeney Point
Rock pooling / crabbing in Cromer
Visit Norwich for a double decker buses

I know you said no accomodation but....there's also a converted double decker bus you can stay in Airbnb in Wells....www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/48801680?source_impression_id=p3_1755610817_P3SKOzD2fkAN7p0u

Thank you! This is perfect.

I see there is a Bewilderwood in Cheshire too.

Off to research some more! Might put Norfolk down for our Easter holiday next year!

Cheshire is a good call actually, our favourites are Bewilderwood and the Ice Cream farm. There are tons of decent days out in Cheshire though and depending on where your stay, really easy to get into Chester, Manchester or Liverpool.

Gulliver’s Kingdom at Matlock Bath is great for pre-schoolers. Your 5yo might light the buses and trams at Crich Tramway. My toddler also enjoyed the steam train (Peak Rail) and the aquarium. We stayed in a lodge at Darwin Forest which has an indoor pool and soft play.

river dart country park has a lovely splash area the area also has a nice zoo and Woodlands Family Theme Park

i have also gone to norfolk great yarmouth good for kids if you go to saras tearoom lovely by the way there is a wide range of rides for younger children.I also highly recommend castle carvery it has a indoor play area

if theme parks your thing theres legoland and down the road from there is coral reef water park .But keep in mind theme parks very busy in summer holidays ,go on a weekday

Chester would be lovely for a short break. Nice city and Chester Zoo is the best in the country IMO.

London - Chessington, peppa pig afternoon tea ride, Lego land, London aquarium and zoo

Are all these places in london its self or would we need a car?
We could quite easily fly down to London, saving travel time and she would love the peppa pig bus ride!

We love Chester zoo! I think its the best too.

Sundown Adventureland is great for kids. Lots for toddlers. You can come for the day or they have lodges and can stay for a few nights also
