As the kids break up for summer, no doubt you’re planning a family day out or weekend getaway if you haven’t already. Whether you’re visiting magical gardens, interactive museums or adrenaline-fuelled theme parks, the UK is packed with exciting destinations perfect for kids and kids at heart.
If you need some inspiration, here are some of the UK’s best family attractions, along with the nearest Moto services to help break up your journey.
🎢 Legoland Windsor Resort, Berkshire
If you’ve got Lego fans in your house, why not head to the “UK’s favourite theme park”, Legoland Windsor? Bursting with themed rides, LEGO workshops, splash zones and mini-worlds built entirely from the most bricks, it’s a Lego lover’s wonderland. There are over 55 rides and attractions, from gentle boat rides to rollercoasters. If you’re on the M4, you can stop by Reading East or West before you get there!
🌱 The Eden Project, Cornwall
For a more educational trip, The Eden Project is a great mix of learning and adventure. Inside the iconic biomes, families can explore tropical rainforests, join hands-on science workshops or even zip wire across the quarry. With a host of activities for all ages, it’s a great way to learn more about the world around us in a fun way. If you’re travelling on the M5, you’ll be able to stop off at our Exeter Services, which is one of our EV Superhubs! Perfect if you’re driving an EV.
🏖️ Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Lancashire
How about some fun in the sun with a twist? Pleasure Beach is… a beach obviously, but is also a theme park with rollercoasters and live entertainment. For the kids, Nickelodeon Land is also there, so the little ones can meet their favourite characters. Who wouldn’t want to meet Spongebob?! For a rest stop and a refresh, stop by Lancaster Services if you’re coming from the north, or Knutsford Services if you’re coming from the south on the M6.
