Ideas for cheap trips with children

The holidays and holidays are soon back at the door and not always a great holiday is affordable or time feasible. Nevertheless, children can also be happy with smaller trips, there are many different possibilities and destinations.

Excursion destinations on sunny days

The hiking trip

Hiking is a very cheap and nice trip in nature. For this purpose, one plans in advance an interesting route, z. B. a forest walk. It will be particularly exciting when you download an app, with natural knowledge (or a paperback) for information about insects, trees, plants u.v.m. Maybe you can also take a magnifying glass, so that the children can examine the many creepy-crawlies very closely. The hiking trip into the nature is very interesting especially for city children. Everyone takes a backpack with drinks, snacks, a small bag for rubbish, patches (if one falls) and comfortable shoes and you're ready to go. You do not need any money for that and still have a lot of fun for children.

picnic outing

Picnicking is always fun for kids! The best way to find a nice, shady spot with an adjoining playground, where children can let off steam after a meal. For a real picnic you should take a large picnic blanket, a cooler, drinks, snacks, lots of fruit and cold food, paper plates, cutlery, cups, a kitchen roll, a bag for waste, clothes to change and sunscreen.


Open air museum / museum villages

In open-air museums or in museum villages old houses, workshops and much more can be examined and all under the open sky. Most of the museum villages also have their own playground. For this you only pay the entrance fee and can take the snacks and drinks with you. If you do not know an open-air museum, you can search Google for a destination / open-air museum in the area. Since museum villages are often very spacious, you should start in the morning, because there are the feet still rested.

wildlife parks

All kids love wildlife parks! It does not always have to be a zoo if you want to see four-legged friends. In the game park you can expect lots of animals to pet and feed. The park is usually not as huge as a zoo and thus clearer. Again, you only pay the entrance fee and take your own food with you.

miniature golf

Minigolf is fun for the whole family and a cheap trip.


Excursion to the farm

A visit to a farm is a great experience, especially if you want to get to know the animals better. Many farms offer a tour. It shows the children how a farm life works and how to look after the animals.

Parks

Amusement parks are not cheap, but they are packed with action and fun. It does not have to be a huge amusement park, because most of the time you do not manage the whole program anyway. Smaller parks such as the Tripsdrill in Cleebronn are manageable and cheaper. It is best to set a budget in advance that you do not exceed. So one calculates the entrance and possibly for each an ice u. A visit to a restaurant in the park can be very expensive, so do not drive off on an empty stomach and pack your own delicious snack and drinks. It should be noted, however, that in large parks usually all rides are included in the price, while smaller parks are often cheaper or even free, but you have to pay many of the rides themselves. Best research in advance, what will be incurred in costs.

camping

What could be better than a camping trip with the whole family. There is no child who does not like camping with their parents. You are in the fresh air and it may be quiet times louder. For a cozy campfire with delicious marshmallows is nothing to object.


Excursion destinations on rainy days

Even on rainy days you do not have to stay at home, there are also great daytrips for such days:

Indoor playgrounds

Indoor playgrounds offer a lot of fun, even in rainy weather. There, the kids can let off steam on climbing frames, trampolines, inflatables and much more.

Waterparks

Adventure pools are also in rainy weather or in winter a great destination.

The planetarium

The planetarium is a very interesting destination for both children and adults.

The aquarium

Cinema and theater visits are always a great experience for children.

bowling

Bowling is fun and a great rainy day trip destination.
