Free days out — questions
What free days out are there for children?
Country parks, nature reserves, playgrounds, beaches and woodland walks are free to enjoy, and a lot of museums and galleries don't charge for entry either. Every place on this list is free to get into — filter by area to see what's near you.
Are museums free for kids?
Many are — a good number of local and national museums have free entry for everyone, children included. We show the entry price on each venue's page, so you can tell before you set off.
What can you do with kids for free near you?
Filter this page by area, or use “near me” to enter a postcode and sort the free days out by distance. It's an easy way to turn up somewhere new without spending anything.
Do free days out have any hidden costs?
Entry is free, but some places charge for parking or have a café or gift shop. Where we know about parking we say so on the venue's page, so there are no surprises.
