Family Experience Days: 10 Family Gift Vouchers and Fun Days Out

First on our list is this wet ‘n’ wild Thames Barrier RIB experience for two adults and two kids. Climb aboard a powerful RIB (Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boat) and set off on a voyage that’ll leave you wet, windswept, and grinning like idiots. Your skipper will guide the boat past some of the capital’s most iconic riverside landmarks—including Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena and the Thames Barrier flood defence—bouncing over the waves at high speed and performing exciting twists and turns.

It’s a unique tour of London and an exhilarating day out for a family of four.

If yours is a family of animal-lovers, this Western Trail horse riding experience with lunch offers a great day out with the kids. Head to the New Forest in Hampshire and enjoy the gorgeous, leafy surroundings on horseback! You’ll each be introduced to your own well-trained friend and given a short riding lesson before hitting the trail. Don’t worry if you’ve never ridden a horse before—this gentle ride is suitable for complete beginners! Upon your return, the experience concludes with a tasty barbecue lunch and dessert.

‘What on earth is white water tubing?’ We hear you say. Well, you’ve heard of white water rafting, right? Okay, so imagine that, but instead of paddling your way down rapids in a big boat, you’re bobbing along on top of your own giant, durable rubber ring! This tubing experience in Wales includes an experienced guide and all the necessary safety gear—so the whole family can enjoy a wet ‘n’ wild adventure in confidence! It’s a unique way to explore some of the country’s most scenic and exciting waterways.

A great experience day for your outdoorsy family this weekend.

Does your family enjoy a bit of a sing-song and a dance? Of course it does! So, where better to take them than London’s West End—the home of musical theatre. Take your pick from Activity Gifts’ range of theatre and dinner packages, and choose from some of London’s top child-friendly shows—including Aladdin, Wicked, Mamma Mia & School of Rock. Afterwards, you can also enjoy a tasty meal in one of several family-friendly restaurants—the perfect end to an extra special day out with the kids.

Treat the musical fan in your family and get ready to sing along!

These days, we think it’s more important than ever to love and connect with nature—especially for tech-obsessed kids—and this family treehouse stay in Wales is the perfect opportunity. Indeed, what could be more magical than two nights in your own stunning treehouse, nestled deep in the woods but with all the creature comforts of a top hotel room? While you’re there, you can try all sorts of fun outdoor activities—including hiking and mountain biking, plus wind and wave sports at the one of the nearby beaches.

An unforgettable short break for families looking to escape city life.

We’re heading back to London now and the ‘Up at the O2’ climbing experience. This unique family experience day is a chance to climb over one of the city’s most famous landmarks—a music venue that’s played host to Beyoncé, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, and many more of your kids’ favourite popstars. Climbers are kitted out in jump suits and harnesses, before stepping onto the springy walkway which matches the feel of the dome below. From the top, you can take some great photos against the city backdrop.

A fun and original day out in London your family will love.

Quad bikes—they’re not just for farmers! These awesome go-anywhere machines are so easy to drive, anyone can do it—and they make for an adventurous family day out in the Great Outdoors. At Activity Gifts, we’ve a range of quad biking experiences for you to choose from. Each includes a full safety briefing and professional driving instruction, so the whole family can set off feeling confident. On the rugged trail, you’ll encounter all sorts of difficult terrain and obstacles—but nothing you and your quads can’t handle!

A treat for the family member who loves everything on four wheels.

If you want to celebrate a special occasion in style, an Activity Gifts helicopter tour could be just the thing. Browse our flying section and choose from a range of spectacular flights over Bournemouth, the Jurassic Coast, Snowdonia, and more. For most of us, a helicopter ride is a rare, perhaps even once-in-a-lifetime treat, and we think it’s an experience best shared with family. Take-off and enjoy breathtaking bird’s-eye views of the UK’s most impressive landscapes or maybe even your hometown—who knew so many neighbours had pools!?

A family experience day that’ll take you to cloud nine and back.

Finally, we’ve an experience day for families who’ve all grown up—but not quite. The rage room experience is a unique stress-reliever for 1-6 people, in which you get to smash fourteen household objects with baseball bats. Yes, it really is as simple as that! On arrival, you’ll be fitted with boiler suits and protective gear, before entering the rage room. Here, you can let it all out against computer keyboards, glasses, clocks, and more—all to your chosen soundtrack of family favourites!

Think of it as a destructive, consequence-free therapy session for the whole family—no more tense reunions!
