Half term activities for kids

11 Feb 2025

With half term coming up soon, it can be stressful to think of things to do with the kids to keep them engaged while they're off school. We've rounded up a variety of activities to suit a range of budgets, to get out and about and keep the kids entertained!

Gruffalo Trail

Take a trip to Haldon Forest Park and embark on the Gruffalo Orienteering trail! Pick up a Gruffalo-themed map for £1.50 (which includes a certificate) and head off the beaten track to find all twelve markers in the deep, dark wood.

Paignton Zoo

On top of the abundance of animals, Paignton Zoo are offering young explorers to become a wildlife detective this February half term! They’ve partnered up with Sony Pictures Television to bring ‘The Creature Cases’ show to life with an interactive mystery trail. The kids will have the chance to solve puzzles and uncover clues while learning all about the animals. The trail is included in the standard ticket price.

National Marine Aquarium

The largest aquarium in the UK, the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth is well worth the visit. Educational and engaging, you can’t go wrong with the aquarium. Set against the backdrop of the sea, you can see sharks, jellyfish, turtles, a variety of fish and more!

River Dart Country Park

Whether camping for a few nights or visiting for the day, River Dart Country Park never fails to disappoint. Set within 90 acres of woodland in Dartmoor National Park, River Dart is packed with activities. From the Pirate Ship in the lake to the Tree Trail Activity, the Mini Zip Wire to the Wooden Play Fort, there’s over 25 activities for the kids to get stuck in to.

The Donkey Sanctuary

Visit The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, meet the donkeys, and take part in the Big Sanctuary Search trail which is running until 31st March 2025. All you need to do is pick up your trail sheet from the gift shop, this costs £5, and you can search for clues and discover some hidden prizes on your adventure.

Crealy Theme Park

With over 60 attractions, there’s something for everyone at Crealy Theme Park. There’s indoor play areas, outdoor fun, animals to visit, and Sooty Land, making it the perfect day out. But this February half-term there’s also a special family event: Pop in the Park. From 15th – 21st February, you can watch several live tribute performances at the Crealy Big Top Arena. There will be three shows a day and all performances are included in your standard day ticket price.
