Hey readers,
When days are wet and you can't bear another day trapped in the four walls while you slowly go insane then you must check out my safe list of places to go indoors. They are child-friendly, dry, and more importantly cheap.
1. Library.
Go to the library, read some books, choose some books and let the kids check them out. It is all very exciting and costs nothing.
2) Garden centre.
Your local garden centre is great as it has lots of random tat and they tend to have a coffee shop. Not to mention if you are lucky enough fish to see and everyone is happy!
3) Ikea.
Got to love going to IKEA. Child-friendly, free play for 3yo, cheap food, and child-themed play areas. Both my boys love this place and they can run around causing them to tire them out, #winning.
4) Coffee shop.
Hit a coffee shop, my boys adore the mini cups as they feel like an adult. I also appreciate the atmosphere as it is a great chilled vibe.
5) Mcdonalds.
McDonald's where you can go get a happy meal and it comes with a toy, what more could a child want. I have written a post here about why I love this place so much!
6) Bus trip.
Get on a bus for an adventure. My boys love a good trip out on a bus.
7) Green conservatory area.
We live near a free (whoop) green conservatory area for the public. It had plenty of green and a pond full of fish. Beautiful settings and makes a change for me and the boys.
8) Museums.
Faithful museums are free and educational.
9) Pets at Home.
If in dealt go to Pets At Home, it is basically a free zoo.
10) Odean.
If you won't have a sit down in a quiet, dark room, go to your local Odean where every morning during holiday time and weekends term time they have tickets for children films for £2.50.
Have I missed out on some good places to take kids when it is pouring down with rain? Love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below.
Cheers for reading X

Fab ideas!! The library is a great place to visit and free too. I used to love taking my girls to the pet shops when they were little. For a short time they did actually think Pets at Home was a zoo. lol x
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas here! I remember taking my boys to garden centres to look around and my youngest loved going to IKEA!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I used to take my kids on bus and train rides. We could buy a family ticket to use on both and just used to go wherever we felt, the kids loved the journey. We also love the library and spent so much time in there. We like Mc Donalds and Garden Centres, but don't be shocked...I have never ever been to Ikea.
ReplyDeleteGreat rainy day ideas. Thomas always likes looking at the fish and reptiles at our local garden centre so it's a great rainy day activity. We also love trips to the library. #MMBC
