For Families

House of Marbles is a great way to keep kids of all ages entertained for an hour or two but when you’ve finished here where do you go next? Here are our top suggestions:

Haldon Forest Park near Exeter

A great place for families with children of all ages. You can find Go Ape tree-top adventure here, along with Segway experiences and walking, cycling and Gruffalo trails.

Haytor Rock on Dartmoor

This is a great opportunity to see wild Dartmoor Ponies in their natural environment. Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre can also be found at this site.

A great way to stretch those legs and take in some of the stunning natural water features of Dartmoor while on a nature trail at one of these wonderful sites.

Pennywell Farm near Buckfastleigh

A lovely farm with lots of daily events including Pig Racing, and activities such as bottle-feeding lambs. We think kids will love the opportunity to cuddle Tea-Cup pigs, ducklings, and guinea pigs here!

River Dart Country Park near Ashburton

A camping site which can also be accessed in the day with lots to do such as tree-top adventures and canoeing.

If you don’t mind travelling a bit further afield then we also highly recommend

Paignton Zoo   Babbacombe Model Village   Woodlands Family Theme Park

Or a trip to one of Devon’s fantastic beaches. There are many good sites you can check for further ideas, including Dayoutwiththekids.co.uk.
