Places to visit in Buckinghamshire

 1) Roald Dahl Museum, Great Missenden - Lucky was at one point obsessed with Roald Dahl and so this was a great little museum to visit. The museum had a lot of activities going on and so do check their website for holiday activities (https://www.roalddahl.com/museum). Lucky loved sitting in his massive chair and read one of his books. It's a little museum so it can be done in about 2 hours.

2) Hellfire Caves, High Wycombe - These chalk caves hold great holiday-time activities. We went there for Halloween which was excellent. We were able to cover the whole cave system and loved the character interactions. The mood was very creepy too. If Halloween isn't your holiday, they do activities for Christmas but please check their website (https://www.hellfirecaves.co.uk/) . The visit took no more than 90minsutes. They had a nice cafe onsite. There's also a nice park nearby so you can make a nice day out!

3) Chiltern Open Air Museum, Chalfont St Giles - One of our favourite open air museums. Another place which holds many events. We went there for a Unicorn and Dragon day. Despite the rain, we had a great time with some great workshops which took us around the whole museum. We met unicorns, we saw a whole dragon sleeping in a house. They was storytelling in a yurt and other multiple activities. It took us a whole afternoon to enjoy ourselves!

4) Gulliver's Resort, Milton Keynes - A great theme park for a family with young children. It had a dinosaur park and a water centre too. We spent a whole day there and had time to do repeat rides too. 

5) Black Park Country Park, Slough - This was such a  big park. We went there for Go Ape but there are many other activities going on. It is well shaded with cafes dotted around. 

6) Windsor Park, Windsor -  This is a Royal Park and to be fair I had lots of expectations when I was reading about Saville Garden and Virginia Water but it was disappointment. But we got our steps in!

7) Bletchley Park - The home of the code-breakers, it is a great museum with plenty of activities to learn everything that this place and its people did and how they helped in WW2. It has many buildings designated  to different parts of code-breaking including a great display about Alan Turing. There's plenty of activities for kids. It also has a nice lake where you can picnic around. Once you buy the tickets, you can revisit within a year

8) Legoland, Windsor - this is a theme park which we always go back to. Having a Lego fan in my home, is a great plus because I feel like the best mummy ever taking hi there. It has a huge splash park and plenty of rides for little and big ones! A great day out guaranteed
