NoBest for: Outdoor adventure and imaginative play We absolutely loved our day at Bewilderwood its a magical mix of treehouses, zip wires, slides and forest trails, all set in a beautifully designed woodland world. Everything is based around quirky characters from Tom Blofelds books, and there are crafts, storytelling and shows throughout the day.My toddler adored the Toddlewood area (made just for little legs!), while older kids can tackle the bigger towers and wobbly rope bridges. It's such a refreshing screen-free day out you feel like you've stepped into a storybook. Dont forget to wear comfy shoes there's a lot of exploring to do! BeWILDerwood Website 2.

If youve got older kids, Go Ape is brilliant for a bit of treetop action.

NoBest for: Ice cream treats and toddler-friendly fun Weve been to The Ice Cream Farm more times than I can count and it never gets old.Between the ridiculously good ice cream, soft play areas, and the huge outdoor adventure playground, its pretty much a toddlers dream come true. Daisys Garden is a free play area included with entry and great for letting off steam.We also love the crazy golf and water play zone. The farm has so many little play areas that you can easily spend a whole day here. It does get busy on sunny weekends and school holidays, so Id recommend booking in advance. The Ice Cream Farm 4.

NoBest for: Big day out with animals and learning Chester Zoo has been a favourite of mine since I was a little girl and now I get to enjoy it all over again through my toddlers eyes! Its one of those places that just keeps getting better every time we go. The layout is easy to navigate with a pushchair, the animal habitats are beautifully done, and theres always something new to discover.We visited again this weekend and explored the brand new Heart of Africa zone its absolutely brilliant! The immersive walkways, open spaces and lush planting make you feel like youve stepped into a tropical landscape. My little one was fascinated by the giraffes and birds, and we both loved the buzz of it all.There are plenty of play areas dotted around, plus the Islands boat ride for a more relaxed moment. Its definitely a full-day adventure bring snacks, comfy shoes, and suncream (or raincoats it is Cheshire, after all!). Chester Zoo Website 5. The Crocky TrailWhere?

Yes, as long as they are kept on leads at all timesBest for: Thrill-seeking kids and muddy fun This one is wild. We visited The Crocky Trail on a slightly rainy day and it just made the experience more chaotic (and muddy!). Its part obstacle course, part adventure park, with giant slides, rope swings and a trail through fields and streams. Its probably better for slightly older kids but even as a grown-up, I had a laugh.Bring spare clothes, towels, and dont even think about wearing white trainers! Younger children might find some bits tricky, but there is a new Wonderland area - dedicated to the under 5s, home to gold rush digs, a bouncy castle and play area. The Crocky Trail Website 6.
