Days Out should be for all the family to enjoy. It is not until you are pushing a buggy or have a family member with accessibility issues that you realise that not everywhere is set up to cater for everyone’s needs. As a mother with a pushchair, I found it annoying that I often had to take different routes that were pushchair friendly. However, it was when my Mother in Law became poorly that I really started to think about accessibility issues and how walking aids, wheelchairs and mobility scooters could really make a difference to everyone’s enjoyment of a family day out. This is the focus of Fenetic Wellbeing’s #DayOutForAll Campaign.
Legoland
We took my Mother in Law to Legoland not long after she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Spending time with the children enjoying themselves was top of her list. You can view a guide on their accessibility here. One thing to note is that Legoland is based on a steep hill, which can cause issues for some people. Toilets are also spread out over large distances. This was often a problem when taking my little ones. Being prepared, by looking at the resort map before you go can really help.
California Country Park
This is an inexpensive day out which caters well for the family. There is a path around the lake which makes it accessible to all. Children will enjoy the playgrounds whilst adults can have a coffee in the lovely Jacksons cafe.
Beale Park
Beale Park is a lovely wildlife park situated in Pangbourne. It is buggy and wheelchair friendly and the website states that it makes every effort to assist you on your trip. Wheelchairs can be taken on loan and the lovely little train ride around the park has a wheelchair carriage.
