4 Outdoor School Holiday Activities

School holidays are here, and it's the perfect time for families to explore the great outdoors. Remember to pack our 100% natural and 100% effective* incognito kids insect repellent to keep insects at bay while you and your children make the most of the summer days.

1. Exploring Botanical Gardens

Visiting a local botanical garden is a fantastic option for families who love nature and want to learn more about plants and wildlife. These gardens often span several acres and offer a vast array of botanical wonders, beautiful landscapes, and educational exhibits. Look for features like treetop walkways or interactive children’s gardens that provide a bird’s-eye view of the flora and fauna.

2. Picnic and Play in the Park

Local parks are gems for families looking for a free outdoor adventure. With sprawling meadows, woodlands, and playgrounds, parks are perfect spots for family picnics. Bring along some games and let the kids run wild in the open spaces. Many parks also offer unique features like natural swimming ponds, hiking trails, or scenic viewpoints. However, these parks can also be hot spots for insects such as mosquitoes and ticks so practice our C.L.O.A.K method for extra insect protection – such as wearing longer sleeved clothing and keeping to the designated walking paths.

3. Discovering History at Local Castles or Forts

A visit to a nearby castle or historical fort is a wonderful paid activity that combines education and entertainment. Step back in time and explore the historic buildings where significant events once took place. Guided tours often provide fascinating insights into the history and legends of these sites. Many castles and forts also have exhibitions or interactive displays that will captivate the whole family.

4. Wildlife Spotting in Nature Reserves

Nature reserves offer a fantastic free day out for families who love wildlife. These protected areas are home to a variety of animals, creating a magical experience for visitors. Pack a picnic and enjoy the scenic views while keeping an eye out for wildlife such as deer, birds, rabbits, and foxes. Some nature reserves also have gardens or trails that are beautiful to explore.
