Where is the only managed colony of mute swans in the world? Can you eat a swan? Who owns the swans? What is a swan?

Wait until the end for an exclusive interview with a swan. 🦢

Forget the same old family days out… these are 5 experiences your kids probably won’t stop talking about 👀

We’ve done a LOT of family attractions, but these are some of the ones that genuinely felt different:

🚗 Young Driver — children can start learning to drive before they’re old enough for a licence, including full-size cars from age 9.

🌳 Goodleaf Tree Climbing, Isle of Wight — harness up and climb a real tree rather than a purpose-built high ropes course.

🔦 Exeter Underground Passages — squeeze through historic tunnels underneath the city.

🦢 Abbotsbury Swannery, Dorset — one of those animal experiences that feels completely different from a normal zoo day.

🤯 Wake The Tiger, Bristol — an immersive world that is very difficult to explain until you’re actually inside it.

These are exactly the kinds of family experiences I love finding — places that make you think:

“Wait… you can actually do THAT?”

💬 Which one would your kids choose — 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

📌 Save this for your next family adventure.

➕ Follow @busyfamilyexplorers for unusual family experiences, UK breaks and European trips actually worth travelling for.

Part 2 coming next 👀

Another little glimpse of life with the cygnets 🦢🤍

I love watching Mum stir up the bottom of the stream to find food — she looks like she’s dancing! 💃🦢

Many thanks to @brewerycottage1876 for the footage. 🦢

During my visit to @abbotsburyswannery I saw a beautiful little grebe. These are such cute little birds and have such a playful nature. I was lucky enough to have a close encounter with one and managed to get some nice photos. @abbotsburyswannery @nikoneurope #littlegrebe #birds #nature #photography #birdwatching
