Summer holiday suggestions please!!

So I have 12 days until the Summer Holidays start. Eeeeek!

I am lucky enough to have nearly a month off work (broken up) but am drawing a blank on what to do with the time!

Some context:

I live in Buckinghamshire but Mum lives on the South Coast so we get to the Beach quite a bit.

Just me and my 7yro - Does various sports/clubs throughout the year and we do days out, often - Neither of us are the duvet day type!

Have lots of Tesco Days Out Tokens and NT membership, money not too much of an object.

Um! I guess what I am looking for is the weirder and more wonderful days out/experiences please??? Help!!!

    How about a 'Harry Potter Studio Tour'? Haven't met anyone who hasn't enjoyed their visit :).

    Thank you both - LOVED the Harry Potter tour - To the point I think I might rebook now you have reminded me, for Xmas :)

    Go Ape, good thinking, will have a nose and see where the nearest junior one is - Black Park maybe?

    Marwell Zoo isnt to far from Bournemouth. Also, in the New Forest near Lyndhurst is the Reptile Centre which is really cool!

    Thank you - We have given Geocaching a go, think we need to rope in a few of her friends before my daughter in convinced!

    Have done the Reptile Centre a few times - The snakes always seem to hide from me though!

    My geography isn't up to much but the Roald Dahl museum was great!

    The Roald Dahl Museum and the Gallery are both great - but one is walking distance and the other a 10 min drive so I and school have done them quite a bit - for anyone else reading, both well worth a morning :D
