Field Trip Chronicles: Conkers

Our trip this past Saturday was to Conkers, a discovery center in a national forest (here in England of course). We went with 2 other families, so our kiddos enjoyed hanging out with other kids. It was a beautiful day, and we all had a blast! The only downside was wasps! They were everywhere buzzing in our faces and all around us. One of our party even got stung. The outdoor part included lots of trails, an assualt course, rope bridges, water works, lakes with ducks and geese, a woodland area where you could build your own wigwams with big sticks, a juggling show, and a train ride to a big playground. The inside had the Enchanted Forest (a forest-themed play adventure with climbing frames, rope walks, and slides) and lots of hands-on exhibits.
