Think like many people I look at the summer holidays as a double edged sword, on one hand, I love the kids being off (well at least for the first 10 days) but I'm always in a quandary what to do with them, everything is so expensive, even a cinema trip these days needs a few gold teeth ripped out & sent to cash4gold! Back in my day I was happy with a bag of chips in newspaper so I could read it whilst I ate & a stick to whack around aimlessly, but I'm told by my kids that's why I've ended up chubby with inky & splinter filled fingers, they want more out of life it seems. Anyway since I'm waffling, I've put together a few offers / ideas / deals & freebies for the summer hols, hope they help & feel free to add any you know of!
London Transport Museum Kids go Free - Adult Ticket £17.50; Concessions £15 BUT Tickets allow unlimited entry for 12 months!
Tropical Butterfly House @ The Natural History Museum Entry to NHM is Free but there is a charge of £5.85 for individuals & £19.80 for families to the Butterfly House though it is Free for members / patrons & kids under 4
National Army Museum - Newly Re-Opened After 3 Year Refit - Free Entry to Museum - Play Base an unusual Soft Play Experience inside the Museum costs £4.50 per child. Whether your child wants to take on the assault course, climb aboard a truck or prepare scoff in the cookhouse - our new Play Base lets every child shine
Be aware that kids pass has a serious data disclosure vulnerability that I have just discovered and I am reporting.

A parking secret for you. If anyone is driving into London on a weekend, there is free parking in Belgrave Square after 1.30PM on Saturdays and all day Sunday. There are loads of spaces too and Belgrave Square is just South of Hyde Park Corner so near Tubes and within reasonable walking distance of loads of things eg Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Harrods etc.
The Paulton's Park Peppa Pig World deal isn't really one. Cheaper and more convenient to book the tickets and say a Premier Inn separately, rather than their "deals".

Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is fantastic and free. The Peaky Blinders Tour is also quite exceptional. Went to the ThinkTank for the first time today. Extremely disappointing (and pricey). This is a great deal submission. Heat!

My children are all in paid childcare with a childminder. For one week of the holidays they visit their grandparents which reduces the price of their childcare to half price for that week. Hubby and I also take a few days off each to spend a week doing bits with them. I wish I could do more but as a working parent it just isnt an option.

To all the working parents, what do you do with your kids during school holidays when both parents work full time? Growing up, my mum was a house wife so we always had a parent around. Now that I'm a full grown human, I do ponder what parents do with thier kids when they are off for 6 weeks and no longer being looked after at the free childcare we call school.
