Things to do with kids in Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire

Famous for its concrete cows and its American-style grid road system, Milton Keynes is the principal town in Bedfordshire and lies about 40 miles north of London.

Designed and built more or less from scratch as a ‚Äònew town’ in 1967, it’s no surprise that the area appeals to young families.

You’ll find plenty of things to do with kids in Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire, whether you're looking for baby activities like singing and signing sessions or active and adventurous days out for older children.

The town has one of the biggest indoor shopping centres in Europe, with over 400 shops - and if you'd rather do your bit for the planet and shop second-hand (as well as saving money), the area is home to several huge car boot sales, too.

For older kids and teens, Xscape is a fantastic family activity complex that offers everything from skiing on a real snow slope to indoor skydiving. Gulliver’s Land Theme Park is a great day out for younger families, with a farm, dinosaur park and indoor water park on site, too. Many of these venues offer brilliant options for children's parties, so if you're planning your child's next birthday, check out our guide to all the services you could possibly need.

If you’re looking for green space to kick a football about or ride bikes, Campbell Park is Milton Keynes’s own ‚ÄòCentral Park,’ while Willen Lake provides opportunities for wildlife watching and watersports.

The area is also home to Bletchley Park, the World War II code-breaking centre, Woburn Safari Park and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
