I look after the day-to-day running of ReallyKidFriendly.com, as well as some geeky stuff behind the scenes. Thanks to my two boisterous rascals (aged 4 and 5), I have become an expert in soft play areas, parks, energetic music classes, and where to get a stiff drink once the kids have gone to bed. Really – ask me anything! 
We love to go on a bike ride, and see all of the wonderful scenery and different animals, trees and wildlife, the animal who gets hit with a snowball is The babboon

The Look Out, Bracknell Discovery Centre has a lovely enclosed playground and woodland in which you can go for a walk. You can hire bicycles as well. I think one of the Harry Potter’s was filmed here.

So many choices, but locally I’d go for either Warley Woods or the Clent Hills. Both have loads of places to hide away or explore.
Hit by a snowball – babboon.

Coombe Country Park in Coventry – great fun for the kids. There’s acres of beautiful parkland to picnic in or to kick a ball about, a super nature trail, a historic site – and an adventure play land.

It is a great place for kids to run and burn off energy, learn about nature and enjoy the fresh air.

Battersea park for sure! There is a zoo and 2 parks, one for children ages 5 and under and one for kids 5-16 which is an ‘adventure’ park and it is even supervised!

Hobbledown is a new adventure park in Epsom, Surrey. It’s very different to anywhere I’ve been before. As well as housing a farm there’s an aerial assault course that’s not to be missed. It’s like something out of Total Wipe out. You can easily spend the whole day there and not be bored. It makes me wish I was a kid again
