Devon Holiday

Norman_Davies

Hi. We are going to Devon In June for two weeks. We will be staying in Paignton. We will be going as a family with our Grandson who will be three and a half when we go. Any advice on where we can take a lively three year old will be much appreciated. We will have a car so travelling is not going to be a problem. Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips

we were in that area when my daughter was same age lots of cheap things to do and lots of farms - pennywell farm, minituare ponlyland and woodlands , but for a nice lunch and a cheap day out House of Marbles was oddly entertaining - she still talks about it .. its just a marble museum but had marble runs / skittles etc outide for the kids to play on ! We spent days in Plymouth aswell and di some boats trips etc. There is loads to do by the sea as well all the usual fairs and rides etc ( even if you do have to keep paying a pound for them to go on the tweenies rides etc)

we went years ago when my ds was a lively 3 year old and he loved Paignton zoo. We also drove into Torquay and visited a penguin sanctuary on the seafront (can't remember the name of it though).
The beach is always a treat for young children aswell.

I second Paignton zoo. If you are prepared to travel a bit further there is diggerland just off junction 28 @ Cullompton (Diggerland is actually a few miles from here at Willand), there is also Creely which is near Exmouth, Escot near Ottery St Mary which is animal orientated.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Will definitely give some of them a try
