Planning a day out with little ones can be tricky, especially if you’re trying to find places that are easy to navigate with a pushchair. To help, we’ve handpicked some of the best buggy-friendly attractions across the UK for you and your family to enjoy this summer!
Eden Project – Cornwall
No trip to Cornwall is complete without visiting the unique and impressive Eden Project!
Featuring two main biodomes — the Rainforest and the Mediterranean — there’s plenty for the whole family to explore. Both domes are pushchair-friendly, which is great because there’s a lot of walking involved. Plus, the biomes are hot and humid to keep the tropical plants on display alive, so you’ll want to wear thin, lightweight clothing as you walk around and remember to pack plenty of water.
Blenheim Palace – Oxfordshire
Famously known as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace is a stunning 18th-century historical building set within a beautiful 2,000-acre green estate.
The grounds are full of pushchair-friendly paths and gardens to explore. Plus, you can explore the entire ground floor of the palace on wheels, making it easy to get around with a buggy. If you want to leave the buggy outside, there’s an option to carry your little one further through the building into the rooms upstairs.
The Natural History Museum – London
For kids, parents, and grandparents alike, the Natural History Museum holds all manner of wonder. From dinosaur bones to exotic birds, mammals, and reptiles, there’s so much to learn and discover. The museum is equipped with elevators to access all floors, making it accessible for pushchairs. Plus, if your little ones are in the mood to get out of the buggy and play, there are designated interactive zones where they can let their feet and imagination roam free!
General admission to the Natural History Museum is completely free. There’s also a café on-site where the whole family can grab a bite after you’ve ventured back from the Jurassic period!
Chester Zoo – Chester
Chester Zoo spans 128 acres and is home to 37,000 animals, including giant otters, sun bears, and giant anteaters, offering a full day of exploration for you and your little ones.
Chester Zoo offers wide, flat paths that are easy to navigate with a pushchair. The zoo welcomes people bringing their own buggy; however, if you want to leave your buggy behind for a quick getaway, single and double buggies are available to hire at the main entrance.
National Botanical Gardens – Wales
The National Botanical Garden of Wales is a wonderful choice for a peaceful, low-key day out surrounded by nature. You can enjoy beautiful landscaped gardens, explore the fascinating bird of prey centre, and let the kids have fun on the interactive Gruffalo Trail, which is accessible for buggies for smaller children.
With plenty of walking paths and tranquil spots to relax, it’s a perfect destination for families and nature lovers alike. We recommend packing a picnic so you can rest your legs and replenish!
Cotswold Farm Park – Gloucestershire
If you’re looking for a fun day on the farm but don’t fancy getting your wheels stuck in the mud, take a trip to Cotswold Farm Park where you and your little one will get the chance to meet over 50 rare farm breeds including pigs, sheep, and ponies. Getting around the farm with your pram is easy, as there are plenty of level paths around the site, so your little one can wave at the goats and alpacas as you go!
Plus, there’s also a restaurant on-site that serves plenty of scrummy seasonal food for everyone to enjoy.
