It feels like school has only just gone back and the half term break is already upon us. If you’re still looking for something to do with the kids, we’ve found four fun family-friendly outings for you. All ideal to experience in the autumn weather.

Legoland

Unleash their imagination at Legoland, where there are a multitude of rides to enjoy, as well as the opportunity to go crazy with Lego and build their own creations. Just in time for half term, there is Halloween themed excitement taking place, including the return of the Brick or Treat trail.

Drusillas Park

Get the kids out the house this half term break and head to Drusillas Park for a day of fun. There’s a wide range of activities and experiences to enjoy. Pay a visit to the Hello Kitty Secret Garden, or head to the zoo and learn about the animals. Shriek Week runs from 26 October to 3 November, where there will be a selection of Halloween themed events taking place over the half term. Little kids will love to meet the Gruffalo on Wednesday 30 October, and the brave ones out there can meet some creepy crawlers at the Discovery Centre.

Cadbury World

Do you love chocolate? If you do, then this outing isn’t just for the kids. Cadbury World offers you the chance to glimpse behind the chocolate curtain and learn about how Cadbury’s chocolate is made. You can also enjoy a 4D Chocolate Adventure, a world of games and rides to explore, and even try your hand at some chocolate making techniques. End your visit with visit to the Cadbury Café and the world’s largest Cadbury shop.

Piglets Adventure Farm

The half term break falls just in time to visit Piglets Adventure Farm Pumpkin Festival in Towthorpe, just outside of York. Every full paying child gets a free pumpkin (perfect for pumpkin carving ahead of Halloween), with a host of other fun activities and entertainment planned. Explore the Mysterious Maize Challenge, dress up for the chance to be crowned the Pumpkin King or Queen, and there’s even a tractor ride. Based on a working farm, you can also pay a visit to the Animal Barns, and if you’re really lucky, you might get the chance to witness piglets being born.
