Shopping at Day Out With The Kids? See all current Day Out With The Kids discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Day Out With The Kids has been helping UK families plan days out since 2006. It lists more than 8,500 attractions, sorted by county, town and type, from soft play and farms to safari parks and big theme parks. You can buy tickets for many of them on the site, delivered straight to your phone, and each listing shows age ranges and a "from" price so you can compare quickly.

It suits parents and grandparents who want ideas for the weekend or the school holidays, and anyone who'd rather book everything in one place than hunt around separate attraction sites.

What's worth a look

Here are six attractions you can book through the site, from a big zoo to a cheap rainy-day option:

Down south, Chessington World of Adventures starts from £32 and combines a theme park, zoo and SEA LIFE aquarium in one visit. LEGOLAND Windsor is listed from £37, and the listing says children under 90cm go free.

If you're watching the budget, West Midlands Safari Park is from £19.90, with the site saying you save 35% by booking online, and the ticket covers both the safari drive and the safari walk. Godstone Farm in Surrey is from £14.95, a £2-a-head saving on the gate, with animals, soft play and a dinosaur trail. The Upside Down House in Liverpool ONE is from £6.95 and makes a quick, cheap indoor stop.

You can also browse by area on the things to do pages, or look at Merlin short breaks if you want to stay over near a theme park.
