Good old quality family time. Nothing really beats it. But sometimes it can be difficult to find the perfect activity that is going to suit everyone. With different ages, interests and attention spans to think about, finding a great family day out, that won’t end in any arguments or tears, can be more challenging than we like to admit.
Most of us consider sitting in front of the TV at home and watching our beloved family shows or going out for dinner as quality family time. While they are the bog standard way to have “family bonding time,” there are so many more thrilling ways to spend time together.
We have thought of some alternative ways to spend time with your loved ones, that will not only get you moving and active, but are sure to get your hearts pumping with excitement and adrenaline.
Outdoor activities
Get yourself, and your family, back to nature and enjoy the great outdoors together. There are so many outdoor activities to do together, from going on a scenic hike, to taking the family dog in the park. As nice as they are, they can get quite boring very quickly (and you may not have a family pet). Check out the Aerial Adventure Park that provides all the outdoor fun a family could need. From a range of ropes courses, to adrenaline pumping ziplines, there is something for everyone at this outdoor adventure park.
The adventure park is suitable for anyone over the age of five and has different activity and challenge levels for all ages and abilities. So, families can come together to make their way through the courses and make exciting new memories together. They have various locations all over the US, so get booking today!
Indoor activities
Nothing brings families together than a bit of healthy competition. Having a good old-fashioned games night at home is all fun and games, until the losing team, or family members, don’t take it too well and it causes those arguments and tears we would all like to avoid.
So instead of playing against each other, bring the family to work together, and try and beat the clock at an indoor escape room. You will have to work hard as a team and make sure every family member plays their part, to work out and crack various head-scratching obstacles and challenges together. Escape in time and you can celebrate with a triumphant family photo that will be framed and cherished forever.
So ditch the TV remote, and save those pennies (and calories) on that overpriced restaurant and try something new by taking your family on an unforgettable adventure. These activities will not only bring you closer together as a family by conquering various new challenges together, but are sure to create lasting memories to last a lifetime.
