    next to madam patti castle is a fantastic national trust country park, its about £2.00 to aprk and its brill, the kids get to wander through the woods theres plenty of room for games like hide and seek and cricket and you can feed the ducks etc, my kids love it.

    The lake in the industial park in llansamlet is free and a good place to ride bikes etc

    Mumbes is fantastic along the prom.

    The park in clydach is good and you can cycle along the canal

    Thats how we fill our days and they are all free too!!

    Any other ideas anyone? in the swansea area?

    have a look on https://www.netmums.com

    some ideas on there ,not all free though lol

    St Fagans is wonderful! The best day out ever and free, what more can you ask for. I'm hoping to get down there again this year.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    I wouldnt have thought so! theres loads of 'hands on' stuff in there, and big machines and stuff which kids seem to just love staring at!outside in the marina they've got two (or is it three?) boats that you can go on and have a look round! the 'helwich' lighthouse boat is great, but there are some quite steep steps on it. and dont forget, theres always swansea museum two minutes away which is great for kids. theres not much in there, but they do a 'find the mice' tresure hunt type thing which my little one always loves (even though hes done it a million times and knows exactly where all the mice are!) and the've got a mummy in there too which i know has always fascinated my son for some rather ghoulish reason!

    Thanks Vik - that's another one for list. Let's hope the money stretches to a bus ride to Swansea.
