With February half term on the horizon, here is a run down of some top outings in Devon with kids this February. (Also, thank goodness we made it through January. Which was, by the way, the longest January in the history of Januarys right?!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a brand new Gruffalo ‘Party’ trail at Haldon<\/a> this February. You can follow the trail for free, finding the activity boards along the way, and there are opportunities to do rubbings too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can follow the trail for free or purchase a pack for \u00a34. The activity pack includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Artist Luke Jerram will display an out-of-this-world sculpture at Exeter Cathedral<\/a> in February. You may have seen his previous installations; Moon and Gaia. His Mars: War and Peace<\/em> is a seven-metre replica of the Red Planet, created using high-resolution NASA imagery of the Martian surface. A cool way to spend some time in Exeter and combine with a trip to the Museum, Cinema, library or lunch. Tickets are \u00a36, with under 18s free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So excited to see this show! Disney’s Aladdin the Musical is on at Theatre Royal Plymouth until 11th February. More details here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n River Dart Country Park <\/a>is open on weekends and throughout half term with day tickets at just \u00a33 for this time of year. Online booking is essential. Free parking and cafe open. We did this last February with friends and had such a great day. Lots of outdoor park land and play equipment for the kids to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n RHS Rosemoor<\/a> is open daily 10 – 5 and has a range of family-fun activities planned for February Half Term. Including magic shows, a garden trail and family planting sessions, there is something for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This half term, Strawberry Fields <\/a>are hosting a ‘Big Machine Week’. Explore their farm machinery from vintage tractors to combine harvesters, meet the farmers, enjoy lots of photo opportunities and have fun on a tractor trailer ride. Free entry, extra charge for the tractor trailer ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On Tuesday 13th and Thursday 15th February this half term, the Model Village <\/a>will be open until 7.30pm for their illuminations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can enjoy a daylight visit first and then go around again after dusk for a completely different atmosphere with the illuminations. There are refreshments available until 6pm. Allow 2.5 – 3 hours for your visit. Lights will be more effective when fully dark, so might be worth trying to be there until as close to the finishing time as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
