7 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in Buckinghamshire (Updated 2025)
Ahoy there money-savvy adventurers.
If you're looking to for a fun and free day out, then check out these things to do with the kids in Buckinghamshire. Whether it's visiting Quainton Windmill, or letting off steam at Wendover Woods, there's options here to suit all ages, whatever the weather.
I've tried to make sure that all the details on here are up to date, but please do double check on the websites I've linked to before you travel in case anything has changed. Especially important: double check parking costs to avoid any nasty surprises on a day out that was supposed to be cheap, and obviously, be careful if you're visiting places with kids, especially where the terrain is dangerous (ruins, cliffs, beaches, slippy paths etc).
Happy adventuring!

Visit on Sundays 10 - 12.30 to see the sails turning (if there's enough wind), and have a peek inside. (volunteers dependent) There's a pretty steep stairs/ ladder to climb inside, so not great for little kids. Donations are very appreciated so they can continue the restoration work.
