Fun Days Out in Somerset

Mendip Outdoor Pursuits is the perfect place for an action packed day of fun and is recommended for families with children aged 8 and over. The fantastic setting could hardly be better far activities such as Abseiling, Archery, Climbing, Caverning and Canoeing. The site also has a fantastic assault course. Family friendly activities include Raft Building and Nature Walks and environmental bush craft sessions.

The very unique Seaquarium in Western Super Mare is a fantastic site based on a beach surrounded by 3 miles of sand offering an educational and fun experience for the whole family. The site is packed with marine life from all over the world and has an amazing Underwater tunnel where visitors can view Sharks and Sting Rays There are also several open top displays  allowing closer inspection of the elegant Rays as well as other creatures. Special events take place throughout the year in high season including talks and crafting sessions.

The Walled Gardens of Cannington have a beautiful and historic setting and offer a tranquil place for a day trip. The gardens have recently undergone extensive redevelopment and now house an amazing botanical glasshouse with sub tropical plants. The stunning floral displays change throughout the seasons but are at their best during the summer time. Children will enjoy following the information trails and there is also a picnic area where they can run around and some garden games to play. The site also has a Tea Room, a Gift Shop and a Plant Shop.
