Great Fosters
Egham, Surrey
Moats, topiary and a house built for Henry VIII-era hunting parties make this feel like sleeping in a storybook. Children get their own scavenger-hunt kits and a proper kids' afternoon tea; you get one of Surrey's best restaurants and LEGOLAND twenty minutes away.

Days out nearby
~7 miles · ~15 mins
Theme park · nearby attraction
Rides are pitched squarely at younger children, so even preschoolers can do most of the park. Miniland's tiny brick cities, driving school and splash areas keep a whole day busy, and it is an easy add-on to a Windsor or Thames Valley stay.
Chessington World of Adventures Resort ↗
~14 miles · ~15 mins
Theme park · nearby attraction
Half theme park, half zoo: children ride a dragon coaster in the morning and watch lions and gorillas after lunch. The mix of gentle family rides and bigger thrills means siblings of different ages all find something, and it is barely 12 miles from central London.
Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens) ↗
~15 miles · ~30 mins
Nature / outdoors · nearby attraction
Beyond the glasshouses, Kew has a big children's garden with climbing nets and play areas, a treetop walkway and a badger sett to crawl through. Wonderful for a sunny day on a London break.
~16 miles · ~30 mins
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
A storybook-themed farm and adventure park with animals to meet, a big indoor play barn, rope bridges and treehouse-style climbing frames. Children happily spend hours here and it is minutes from the M25.
~16 miles · ~30 mins
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
A classic hands-on farm where little ones bottle-feed lambs, collect eggs and ride on tractor trailers, with indoor and outdoor play to fill the gaps. A gentle, easy day near Beaconsfield and the Chilterns.
~17 miles · ~30 mins
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
A working family farm with daily animal feeding, pig races in season, indoor play barn and a long astro slide. Under the North Downs, it is easy to pair with a Surrey Hills stay.
Bekonscot Model Village and Railway ↗
~18 miles · ~30 mins
Castle / historic · nearby attraction
The world's oldest model village: miniature towns, a working model railway and a ride-on train children adore. Small and charming, with a playground and picnic area.
~22 miles · ~30 mins
Children's museum · rainy day option
Dinosaur skeletons, a moving T. rex and a blue whale hanging overhead make this a must for most children, and it is free. Pair it with the Science Museum next door for a full South Kensington day.
