Have you ever heard of Stay Play Explore? They offer short breaks that are great value for money! One of our very own families from the Family Creator Network enjoy a short break at the start of February &#8211; here&#8217;s what they thought all about it. Everyone, say hello to Abby and her family&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi, I\u2019m Abby, mum of two little ones and engaged to my partner of nearly 9 years\u2026where does the time go? Time seems to fly by, so I think it\u2019s important to spend time together as a family. We love taking the time as a family to go on adventures, holidays and staycations, they really do create wonderful memories to cherish. We also love lazy Sundays at home with hot chocolate too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were very kindly gifted a bundle experience by Stay Play Explore who gave us the opportunity to stay in a top family hotel and visit three fun attractions in the Hinckley area of Leicestershire \u2013 it was a jam-packed, fun-filled weekend and our toddler has not stopped talking about it!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/hotel-924x708.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Booking A Stay Play Explore Trip<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=&#8221;align_left&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n            <div class=\"attraction-cta\">\n                \n                \n                 \n            \n                                    <div class=\"attraction-cta__meta-wrapper\">\n                         \n                            <div class=\"attraction-cta__description\">\n                                <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We booked our trip using the <strong>Stay Play Explore website<\/strong>, it was easy to filter through exactly what we were looking for, there\u2019s so many hotel and attraction options. You can pre-book most of your attractions before visiting (it\u2019s an easy process and all of the how-to information is emailed to you along with your codes). So, have fun looking into the area and what attractions will suit your family best! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every morning leading up to our trip for about a week, our toddler was asking if it was our holiday yet and if we were going to the zoo\u2026I was fully in the excited mode too, I had our packing list written a week before\u2026do you do the same? I do find it helps because no doubt I\u2019ll forget something if not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hinckley is around three hours from where we live so we got up and left quite early, to get the most out of our first day. I took books in the car for our little ones to read, (or me to read to them) and some toys. I also packed extra toys, books and colouring books in their suitcases. We stopped off around halfway at the Cambridge services for coffee and a snack. Check-in was at 3 so we decided to visit the nearby town of Market Bosworth beforehand where we found some lovely independent shops and stopped in a local caf\u00e9 called Jaffles for lunch (which was delicious!) and a cup of tea\u2026 of course we couldn\u2019t leave without cake! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>They enjoyed a 2-night trip with 3 attractions as a family of four:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2 adults, 3 year old and an 8-month-old.<\/span>                            <\/div>\n                                                 \n                            <div class=\"attraction-cta__meta-box\">\n                                <div class=\"attraction-cta__meta-title\">\n                                    <span><?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<svg width=\"384px\" height=\"511px\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 511\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n    <title>Shape<\/title>\n    <g id=\"Page-1\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n        <g id=\"location-dot-solid\" fill=\"#555555\" fill-rule=\"nonzero\">\n            <path d=\"M168.3,499.2 C116.1,435 0,279.4 0,192 C0,85.96 85.96,0 192,0 C298,0 384,85.96 384,192 C384,279.4 267,435 215.7,499.2 C203.4,514.5 180.6,514.5 168.3,499.2 L168.3,499.2 Z M192,256 C227.3,256 256,227.3 256,192 C256,156.7 227.3,128 192,128 C156.7,128 128,156.7 128,192 C128,227.3 156.7,256 192,256 Z\" id=\"Shape\"><\/path>\n        <\/g>\n    <\/g>\n<\/svg> Location<\/span>                                   \n                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FQwcDax3RoF8dLqU8\" target=\"__blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n                                            <span>Get directions<\/span><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><!--!

Checking in was super quick and easy, the staff were so friendly too, and our room was decorated for our arrival which was so special. The room was a lot larger than I expected, with a bathroom, wardrobe and a table. There was a <strong>cot provided<\/strong>, complimentary bottled water, tea and coffee. We were lucky enough to receive a complimentary meal from the hotel in their Triumph bar, which much to our toddlers\u2019 excitement, had an actual motorbike in!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Food &amp; Drink<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The food was delicious, and the service was amazing, the staff were so lovely and attentive, they didn\u2019t even mind our baby sharing their pasta with the floor! Breakfast is included for both mornings as part of the bundle, which is a <strong>buffet in the restaurant<\/strong> near to reception. There was SO much choice, from hot food to cereal and pastries, even porridge on request! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This made it easy to feed our baby and toddler without needing to pre-buy anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Swimming Pool &amp; Leisure<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hotel also has a large leisure facility including a swimming pool, hot tub and gym. The only issue we had was that the changing rooms were either female or male, with no family changing rooms. We only took one bag with us so had to split what we needed\u2026 easily resolved but definitely something to bear in mind. The swimming pool is a really good size, and a lot of fun to be had.

My three-year-old couldn\u2019t wait to get into the museum, there were <strong>interactive buttons<\/strong> and screens before even stepping foot past reception\u2026 I knew he was going to love it! There were so many fun, interactive things for children (and adults) to do, that we could have spent a lot longer there\u2026the drawing and brass rubbing were a hit for our toddler, he didn\u2019t want to leave it! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From <strong>trying on costumes<\/strong>, <strong>metal detecting<\/strong>, bookmark stamping and a big giant map game, it\u2019s set up for whole family fun! Robert and I came away talking about what we\u2019d learnt too. There\u2019s a <strong>large outdoor area<\/strong> to explore, perfect for picnics, long dog walks or for the children to run around! This area is referred to as Richard III&#8217;s country and it was so interesting to find out why, I\u2019ve always found history as a subject quite interesting, so places like this are cool to visit!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;17106,17107,17108,17110,17111&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Twycross Zoo<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=&#8221;align_left&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our next attraction was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk\/attractions\/twycross-zoo-a1ff41a2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Twycross Zoo<\/strong><\/a>, which is huge! We had half a day here, to make sure we could fit in as much as possible, but you could easily spend a whole day, take a picnic or stop in one of the many food places. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you get into the actual zoo, there is a giant soft play surrounded by a <strong>gift shop<\/strong>, <strong>caf\u00e9<\/strong> and <strong>restaurant.<\/strong> We came back to the caf\u00e9 for lunch after we\u2019d explored a bit of the zoo, a good variety of food was available. We queued up at the entrance and then were directed to guest services to have our Stay Play Explore tickets scanned which was really straightforward, then off to explore the zoo! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We started with the <strong>Gruffalo Trail<\/strong> which we all loved! It\u2019s a favourite story in our house so we recited it as we walked around. It was so interactive, the animatronics were awesome. The trail finished with a Julia Donaldson character-themed gift shop and caf\u00e9. Then onto the animals, we saw zebras, rhinos, giraffes and gigantic tortoises to name a few, but we were most entertained by the <strong>bonobos!<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We definitely recommend spending some time checking them out, they loved to play around and swing from their climbing frame with lots of wow\u2019s and oooh\u2019s from the audience. If you do go, see if you can spot the baby, it\u2019s super cute! Lastly, we visited the gift shop, and our toddler chose an elephant puzzle (\u00a32.49 bargain!), despite them not being at the zoo, it was a fun topic of conversation around other animals!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;17112,17113,17114&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Conkers<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=&#8221;align_left&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk\/attractions\/conkers-d9db850c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conkers<\/a> was next on our list and only 15 minutes further from the zoo and also included in our Stay Play Explore bundle. We didn\u2019t end up with a lot of time here so would definitely like to go back again, I\u2019d allow at least <strong>3 hours<\/strong> to get the most out of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We did however get to go on the (pram-friendly) train which takes you over to another side of the attraction where there is a soft play and caf\u00e9. You can opt for walking instead of the train if you\u2019d prefer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are lots of trails to take in the whole place, a maze, high and low ropes, there are even <strong>swan pedalos<\/strong> too! Inside the main area, there is a <strong>pottery painting place<\/strong> (definitely check the last time slot for painting as we were told we were too late for this 40 minutes before closing), a <strong>skating rink<\/strong> and a <strong>discovery area<\/strong> with soft play and interactive, <strong>educational displays<\/strong>. This was really cool, super engaging with so much to learn\/play with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our toddler enjoyed crawling through tunnels, looking at the bugs, pushing interactive buttons and running around! Our baby was fascinated by the lights and different sounds. There were lots of older children enjoying this area too.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;17115,17117,17116&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as the attractions that were included with our stay, Hinckley has so many <strong>free attractions<\/strong> to visit. As it\u2019s the home of <strong>Triumph<\/strong> it was super fun to include a visit to their <strong>Factory Visitor Experience<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as you enter there are motorbikes that you are invited to sit on, a great photo op which was super cool. The exhibition went up two floors (the lift makes this fully accessible) with a view of the factory. There is a merchandise shop and caf\u00e9 which we also made use of\u2026a coffee for the journey home, yes, please!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Top Tips<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator align=&#8221;align_left&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning on making a trip to the area here are my top tips;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Plan!<\/strong> Work out your route, planned attractions and rough timings.
