Feeling stuck for ideas on what to do with the kids? Perhaps you feel like you've overdone trips to London's major family attractions.

With May half term fast approaching and then the long summer holidays, we've found some amazing places located just outside of London to help entertain you and the kids.

Legoland

One of the UK's most popular theme parks for kids is Legoland in Windsor. Lego fans will be in awe at all the lego models and kids of all ages (and their parents!) will enjoy all the lego themed rides. The resort has literally been "built for kids" and with over 55 interactive rides, shows and attractions, there's plenty to keep everyone busy. Toddlers will love the entire DUPLO-themed area and older kids can play the day away on the huge Castaway Camp adventure playground. Other highlights include digging for pirate gold, the 4D movie theatre, the lego Star Wars miniland model display and the two water play areas: Drench Towers and Splash Safari.

Diggerland
Location: Kent

Got any digger and truck mad fans in your house? Then Diggerland is a definite must to visit!

As well as this, there's also lots of fun rides for all ages to enjoy too.

Hatfield House

For a historic day out, head to the wonderful Hatfield House, only 21 miles from Central London and 20 minutes on the train from Kings Cross.

Make sure you head outside to the Hatfield Park Farm and Bloody Hollow Adventure Playground.

Woburn Safari Park

Bluebell Railway

Voted as one of the top 10 tourist attractions in Sussex, a trip on the Bluebell Railway is a must for families. Enjoy a ride on a traditional steam train between East Grinstead and Sheffield Park.
