Got 5 kids to amuse for a whole day next week (2, 2, 4, 4 & 7 years old). WE've done a lot of the local things to death; Itchen Valley,
Moors Valley, Lakeside Railway, Watercress Railway, Swimming...etc.
Anyone got any bright ideas what to do with them...?
put them in nursry for the day and enjoy the garage
Take them to the Island? The boat rip makes it feel like a proper holiday/day out. It is out of season, so the cost of the ferry is much lower. And there is quite a lot to do once you get there...!
send em up a chimney / down a mine?
give them all some sand paper and a wire brush and ill drop off my rusty donor parts to clean up.
:O)
Take the hovercraft to the isle of Wight? Something different for them...

Boat trip to the IoW's not a bad idea, could always visit Carisbrook Castle.
Paulton's Park
Longleat Lions (not that far away)
You're from winch' so you've probably done it but going to suggest:
MARWELL!!

milestones museum in basingstoke think they have an ice rink next door as well.
Hawk conservancy at Andover make sure they duck when the vultures fly over them though

Have you considered 'The Naval Museum' ( HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and The Mary Rose all on one site, although The Mary Rose is partially
closed off due to the new museum being built around it. However you can check the progress of this build 'on line' with a time delay film of
the build so far.) Whilst in the area you can also go over to the submarine museum at Gosport. All this can be accessed for the one ticket entry
price.
I must warn you that I am a bit biased on the good side about the Mary Rose because I did spend 2 weeks diving on her one summer holiday.

2 year olds....hmm, not easy. But paultons isn't a bad idea at all. My kids used to like it a lot, and if the kids are under 1m tall they get in
free at least when we used to go...........
There's always the Adventure Wonderland near Bournemouth airport - they have a big indoor play area if the weather's not too good

and a swimming pool (with slides and rapids if they are open) and a bowling alley, and a cinema.
