Picnics - A Cheap Family Day Out

With house prices unstable and purse strings tightening, what better way to spend your summer days than out with the family for a picnic? It is becoming increasingly expensive to amuse the family in the summer months, here are the prices for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) to go to some top UK attractions:

Alton Towers - £98.00
Chessington World of Adventures - £86.00
London Zoo - £55.50
Legoland - £122.00

For the price of one day out with the family at any of these attractions, you could buy a picnic backpack and a rug, and have plenty left over for all your food for the day. Put a football, a Frisbee or a rounders set in the back of the car and you have a ready-made family day of fun! What’s more – you can use the backpack and rug on many more occasions throughout this summer and next – without any additional cost.
