Best Things To Do & Days Out In Basingstoke, Hampshire

There are lots of unique things to do in Basingstoke to get you inspired for an educational day out with the little ones.

Rather than just visiting a museum to study the history of a place, why not live it? That’s exactly what you can do at Milestones – Living History Museum. Walk in the footsteps of Victorian times as you pay a visit to the village shop and stop in the pub for a drink. Characters in full costume help to bring this open-air museum to life as you take a stroll through the streets of the 1930s.

Basing House and Visitor Centre keeps the storytelling going. This Tudor house was one of the biggest of its time and has a lot of history behind its walls. Learn about Elizabethan times and how the house fell into disrepair during the Civil War with the help of an audio-visual display. The walled garden is a perfect, tranquil spot for a picnic. You can even bring your dog with you to enjoy your Basingstoke family day out!

Animal lovers are catered for too. Go for a ride at the Park Farm Equestrian Centre or enjoy farm animals and activities over at Manydown Family Fun.

Indoor activities include Jump Factory – Basingstoke's first trampoline park, or enter the Fun House and take on the 25ft drop slide, if you dare!
