Keeping the Kids Active on Holiday

When the kids are on holiday it can be hard to drag them away from the TV or their computer games, but we all know it's important for them to get out and about. So to help you out we've come up with some activities that will both encourage them to get out in the first place, and secondly get active and learning while they're at it.

Indoor activity zones

Great for younger kids, indoor activity zones allow them the opportunity to play in a safe environment without direct supervision. The most common kind of indoor activity zones are can often be found next to pubs around the country.

Farm Parks

Farm Parks provide kids with the opportunity to explore a whole host of new activities, while also providing a great day out for the parents. With constantly changing seasonal activities, the sort of things you can expect to find at farm parks range from animal feeding and falconry, to activity zones both indoors and outdoors. With all the options available, Farm Parks cater for everyone and provide a great family day out.

Paintballing and Laser Games

Ideally suited for older children, paintballing and laser games provide great exercise but can be expensive, especially if you are taking a group with you. Paintballing is especially expensive as the companies will often charge a low initial fee and then charge for the paintballs which can all add up.

Leisure Centres

Most towns will have a leisure centre and these offer a great selection of activities to suit everyone's needs. Throughout the holidays these centres often put on activities designed for kids and range from swimming sessions to football tournaments. This is a great opportunity to get them trying out new sports and can introduce them to activities they may have never otherwise tried.
