We went to the amazing Trent Park last weekend with the kids. I can't recommend it highly enough- honestly it was brill. There's a great cafe, adventure playground, cycle paths, duck pond, Go Ape (my dream activity) and best of all a wonderful Animal Rescue Centre which is just £3 to get in (I know!! You can't leave the house for £3 normally). There are so many animals and lots of interesting info everywhere about them. Not boring stuff like what their latin name is, but actually cool info. We saw all sorts, and a lot of the animals (actually maybe all of them) have been rescued or are convalescing before being returned to the wild. My little girl, the anti-Mowgli, was captivated, although as usual quite terrified- I caught her crouching down next to a miniature hedgehog, begging through the fence "please don't eat me, please don't eat me".
Anyway, at the end of the animal trail there is a fantastic playground with heaps of fun climbing frames that you don't really see normally- a big wooden bus, a medieval tower, a tractor. we could have stayed there for hours. However a tantrum over a Tunnocks Teacake arrived and the visit was cut short. We will definitely be going back.
