Nottinghamshire is most famous for Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest, however that is by no means all the county has to offer. The Attenborough Nature Reserve is a great place to take inquisitive children. The eco-friendly Nature Centre has much to entertain including specimens to handle, nature tables full of puzzles and colouring sheets; children can even bring in their own specimens to investigate under a microscope. Interactive screens and nest box cameras also serve to enrich the learning experience.

Staying on a nature theme, Stonebridge City Farm, located in the middle of Nottingham, is another ideal place to take small children. Free to visit, this farm offers a wide range of animals to pet and feed as well as a wide variety of birds and butterflies to view. There is also an outdoor play area and various nature inspired activities such as pond dipping.

Finally Eden Softplay can offer welcome respite to parents with energetic small children. This softplay area is sure to keep toddlers and young children occupied for hours while parents can relax in the comfy seating area, complete with a variety of magazines and a coffee.


Nottinghamshire is far more than a forest, it is a great place to holiday for those with young children.
