The summer holidays are always a great time to get out and explore with the whole family, making magical memories along the way. Whilst the little ones may have broken up from school for a few weeks, that doesn’t mean they can’t continue to learn through fun activities and educational trips out that will encourage them to have fun and learn at the same time! With so many wonderful things to do in and around Swindon this summer, come rain or shine, we’ve gathered a few of our favourites to help you plan some fantastic adventures!
Looking for a way to keep your little monkey entertained for a few hours? Well look no further. The Jungle Parc is an amazing place to take your little ones for hours of excitement and adventure. Designed for children from the age of 4, the Jungle Parc offers a selection of different activities from the Rocket Launchers to the Rope Bridges. After a few hours of playing up in the trees, we can’t promise your little one won’t want you to head out to the local timber merchants to build them their very own Jungle Parc in the comfort of your own garden! Jungle Parc is a place for the whole family to enjoy, with a restaurant onsite and a picnic spot, you can make a great day out of your visit here!
Living in Britain, we can’t guarantee that the summer holidays will be dry and sunny throughout, so on those unwanted rainy days it’s great to have a plan to still get out and have some fun!

From vintage video games to robots, there’s so much to see and learn about at the Museum of Computing.
