Family friendly activities in Buckinghamshire

With the end of the academic year just weeks away, make sure you have your options laid out for a fun filled family break in Buckinghamshire this summer. There are plenty of things to do in the area to keep the kids busy with. Whether it’s energetic little ones or hard to please teenagers, there’s something for everyone.

This summer, take on a challenge as a family. Why not try a new sport together? There’s Go Ape in Aston Clinton – the ultimate high ropes adventure for an extreme adrenaline rush. Or unleash the climber within you with a thrilling 43 feet climb at Vertical Chill Climbing in Milton Keynes. There are coaching lessons available for novice climbers and the challenge can be a perfect team building opportunity for the family. Bounce Indoor Trampoline park is a great place to take kids who have plenty of energy to burn! If you aren’t particularly seeking adventure, Splash Zone at Gullivers Land with its year round heated water fun would be right up your street.

Take a step back in time and explore The Hellfire Caves in West Wycombe Hill with the kids. The underground walk with narrow passages and various chambers were originally excavated in 1750s and the realistic sound effects work well at recreating history. If you are not a local in Marlow, why not join a mystery themed Treasure Trail to learn more about the town or take part in countryside quests with Experience the Country, an unusual and athletic family get-together consisting of activities like archery, axe-throwing, bow tag and zorb football to bring out your outdoor explorer.

For the aspiring racer in the family, Daytona Milton Keynes lets junior learners hone their skills in a safe but thrilling environment.  Choose from a number of race events for cadets and juniors and let them experience the thrill of controlling a race kart in a supervised environment. Following a day full of activity and fun in Buckinghamshire, why not head over to The Bull to fuel up on food and drink? Dine al fresco in our award-winning Beeches Restaurant or grab a quick lunch in the Conservatory Lounge.

In the summer, we highly recommend a Pimm’s and lemonade on the terrace! Why not make a weekend of it and discover the scenic county without the worry of rushing home at the end of the day? Many of our bedrooms can accommodate a family of four and we would be more than happy to provide an extra bed or travel cot on request. Interconnecting rooms are also available.
