Bournemouth Day Trip???

Kaybenson

Need to take kids to Bornemouth from London on thursday.

Initially, i was planning to go to brighton but it appears it will be expensive.

Someone recommend Bournemouth.

2 Adults and 3 Kids.

What to see?? Where to go there?? Coming via train.

Cheers

I seriously would not go to Bournemouth if you have kids. It has a lovely beach. And some beautiful gardens. But not much else.
Have you thought about Southend On Sea? There is Adventure Island theme park that is lovely. And it's free train travel if you buy the wristbands. There are loads of other things for kids too.
Bournemouth is really not geared up for kids. Where ever you take them I hop you have a lovely day, and the weather stays fine.

The air festival starts on Thursday so there will be plenty on but it will be very busy!

Train is certainly the best way to travel to Bournemouth on Thursday. The Air Festival is free and depending on the weather could be a great day out. Do you have a free trial Tastecard? There are lots of B'mouth restaurants where you can get50% off.
