School holidays, it’s nothing to fear! We know keeping the little ones entertained can be quite the challenge, but with so much to do here in Hertfordshire, you won’t need to stress! From active days out to glamping breaks, it’s time to get the kiddies out the house, explore the outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. Let’s take a look at what’s in store for the summer when the term ends…
Paradise Wildlife Park
Well, we’ve got just the thing for little ones who love animals, especially reptiles! Paradise Wildlife Park are hosting their Reptile Weekend this July to celebrate all the amazing reptiles at the Park and raise awareness and vital funds for the Asian Turtle Programme. This is certainly a weekend your kiddies won’t want to miss with reptile themed merchandise, treats and much more.
22nd & 23rd July
The following week, another amazing weekend is set to arrive at the Park – Tiger Weekend! Join the zookeepers for a wonderful weekend celebrating their fascinating tigers with a tiger raffle, themed merchandise, treats and more to raise awareness and funds for the Wild Cats Conservation Alliance.

Then you’ll be pleased to find out that The Grove is bringing all the fun this summer with their list of things to do for the little ones.

Glamping Break with Home Farm Glamping
If you’re looking to take the kiddies for a little getaway, then we’ve got just the thing.

With each tent having their own outdoor seating area and barbecue, so you can enjoy the dreamy setting and peacefulness of the countryside and of course have some fun playing with the children!

It wouldn’t be a summer well spent without a good old family theatre production. So, head to Knebworth House this August for the spectacular Immersion Theatre production of The Wizard of Oz. Guaranteed to have your little ones rolling as they join Dorothy and her friends on their quest to the Emerald City in search of the mighty and mysterious Wizard of Oz.
