Whereabouts in Dorset will you be and what are your kids into?

Thank you for all your help.

We are going next week and will be staying in a small lodge near Wareham so Monkey World is a must. We'd also like to do a bit of fossil hunting as we've never done that before so Charmouth sounds like a must.

Going to spend the next couple of evenings looking at the links and going through all your suggestions.

Thank you!!!

Kimmeridge Bay is worth going to for that as well, shale beach with fossils all over and closer than Charmouth

Poole's got better beaches, better restaurants, better harbour, better theatre, better watersports, better park, better gardens, better ferry port.

And is full of CHAVS and !!!!!! !! Just spend a few minutes at the Dolphin centre !!

Not a Little town just one of Bournemouths many residential and shopping areas.

Another vote for Charmouth and Abbottsbry childrens farm, we took our 5 yr old grandaughter there in may, quite a lot is inside so good on days when the weather is changeable. Animals and play areas to keep the little ones busy.
