Family Days Out Dorset – Top 10 Things to Do with Kids
Things to Do in Dorset with Toddlers and Children of All Ages
Whether your little ones love animals, castles or beaches, Dorset delivers. Here are my top 10 recommendations for family attractions in Dorset:
1. Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park
Ideal for toddlers. Cuddle animals, take tractor rides and enjoy indoor soft play.
2. Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park
Meet rescued horses, enjoy feeding sessions, and explore adventure zones.
3. Weymouth Beach
Safe, sandy, and family-friendly. It’s one of the best beaches in Dorset for paddling and seaside fun.
4. Moors Valley Country Park
Great for older children. Go Ape treetop trails, cycling paths and train rides await.
5. Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre
Home to over 250 rescued primates. It’s fun, educational and great for all ages.
6. Adventure Wonderland, Bournemouth
Perfect for children under 10. Rides, characters and seasonal events.
7. Corfe Castle & Village (National Trust)
Step back in time. A great spot for a castle picnic and scenic views.
8. Abbotsbury Swannery & Subtropical Gardens
Feed baby swans in spring or wander through beautiful subtropical gardens.
9. SEA LIFE Weymouth
See sea turtles, sharks and penguins. A brilliant rainy-day option.
10. Bournemouth Beach & Pier
Zip lines, arcades, and one of the most famous family beaches in Dorset.
Combine Training with Dorset Days Out
Why Precious Memories Training in Dorset Is Unique
You’ll receive expert 1-to-1 tuition in a peaceful setting. Training lasts a few hours each day, leaving time to explore. Families often stay nearby and love how the area blends relaxation with entertainment.
From sandy shores to historic ruins, Dorset makes it easy to balance business training and family adventures.
Take Home More Than Skills
Over the years, I’ve taught students from Ireland, Norway, Jersey and beyond. They often say the trip was life-changing – not just because of what they learned, but also because of the time they shared with their family in such a beautiful location.
