Deen City Farm & Riding School

This 5-acre urban farm is nestled next to Morden Hall Park; it's sweet and free - though a donation to the charity running it is appreciated. Animals include alpacas, pigs, donkeys, ducks, geese, and owls alongside rare British farm breeds, and there's a riding school too. You can buy small bags of feed pellets to give to the friendly goats, sheep, and cows.

Hobbledown Epsom

The original Hobbledown location set in the Surrey countryside features character towers, high ropes, giant pillows, and an extensive farm park. Kids can meet camels, meerkats, llamas, and birds of prey before running wild through the outdoor adventure play villages. Rain isn’t a major problem thanks to the indoor play barn and the Imaginarium, an interactive space combining crawling tunnels with reptiles and bugs - although try to book for a day with some clear weather as the outside playgrounds are the most-exciting part. Hobbledown feels like a rural escape, making it ideal for a full day out with toddlers and primary-aged children.

Hangloose Adventure: England's Longest Zipline

Just outside London at Kent's Bluewater Shopping Centre sits the Skywire: England's longest and fastest zipline spanning over 725 meters. Adventurous kids (over 8) and parents launch off a 70-meter cliff face in a Superman-style flying position, soaring over the chalk cliffs and lakes at speeds of up to 60mph! There's also a giant swing and inflatable water park on site to make a really epic day of it.
