Haven't been to Playzone so I'd like to know what it's like - we go to Funsters in Hendy which is great - has a big play area and also a small area for very young children. The seating is right next to the play area to so its easy to keep an eye on your kids (or if other peoples kids are bullying yours!!!!!).

I also want to take my daughter who is 3 to "Pentre Bach" which I think is up around Aberystwyth. She's a big fan of the programme (anyone see Jac y Jwc and Jini's wedding last week - hilarious) and I'd love to know if its worth a visit.

Try Roath Park in Cardiff (lovely lake, loads of birds to feed, rowing on the lake), Cosmeston Lakes with a medeival village, Nash point with a light house and nearby waterfront castle. Cefn Onn (Llanishen, Cardiff) has lovely plants and a walk all around, then a nice open field at the top for games/picnics/sunbathing. They used to have an ice-cream van up there in the summer - not sure if they still do?

Is plantasia still there in swansea? Any where in Gower is glorious.

Roath Park is just down the road from me and we go very often. If my daughter needs to let off some steam, we walk down, and catch the bus home. The whole day costs the price of an ice-cream and a drink!

If it's a nice sunny day (More heatwaves due apparently) then Victoria Park on Cowbridge road is great for young kids with it's pool. :cool2:

Sorry Rachie B! Hadn't checked back here for a while. Hope you parked well. I'm sure it was ok - I tend to find there's loads of room as the perimiter of the park is so big.

Hope you enjoyed!!!
