I have posted on the travel thread already but has anyone got any ideas what we can do in Cheltenham as a family . We are staying one night at the travel lodge this weekend , and ds1 aged 5 and ds2 aged 2 will need to be fed watered and entertained! Any help would be appreciated .

Have you thought about going on the AA or RAC website - sometimes they have attractions to investigate - just a thought.
Go to the council website - usually they have touristy things there too, to help promote their city.

hi you could try http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk and look at the whats on sections of either the citizen or the echo as are the best local rags available for that area also there are numerous museums within walking distance of the town centre also there is a outdoor lido (swimming pool) at the end of the 2nd part of sandford park always popular with the little ones avoid hesters way at all cost there is also a very large park at pittville with another swimming pool indoors called pittville pump rooms hope this helps ( formerly from cheltenham)

i've been having a good think about things to do in cheltenham theres the animal shelter in gardeners lane off swindon road for eating out theres pizza hut in the town centre along with burger king , also theres dominos pizza for take aways . for children its very difficult to find many places for them to enjoy the best places are a fair way from the town ( 20 miles at least ) occasionally there are fairs and shows at cheltenham race course if i think of anything else i'll post back here otherwise you could pm me and i'll do my best to help

The Cotswold Farm Park is great, lots of things to pick up and places to go inside if it is wet. If you feel like travelling a bit further The Cotswold Wildlife Park is good but better in the dry (But wellies and puddles are fun too!!. )
For a fab pub meal go to the Black Horse at Cranham, go hungry with time to spare.
There is a huge Kit Williams clock in Regebt Arcade (main shopping centre) which blows bubbles.
Ballyhoo is an indoor softplay place. There is a Leisure Centre at Pitville with a lovely children's pool.
You could visit Brum in Bourton on the Water which is very touristy but has Birdland and a model village too.
There is a steam train that goes from the racecourse through the countryside.
There! Just off the top of my head.:j
