The weather at this time of year can be extremely unpredictable so be style savvy and wear lots of layers. Cardigans, sweatshirts, denim jackets and even leggings under dresses are great pieces that can be removed or put on as the temperature changes.
Comfortable shoes are a must. A family day out can involve a lot of walking so it is perhaps not the best place to try out a new pair of shoes or heels for the first time.
Have a plan of who wants to see what before you go. We knew Daisy wouldn't make it around the entire zoo so we asked her beforehand which animals she really wanted to see. It's also advantageous to get there early to avoid the rush and queues.
Picnics are always a good idea. Eating at some of these venues can be pricey and when everyone all wants to eat at the same time the queues can be big! Save yourself the wails of a hungry child (and some money) by packing a picnic.
A mini first aid kit is a must. With all the running and scooting, an accident is sadly inevitable. Plasters, antiseptic wipes and hand sanitiser should cover most injuries.
And most importantly, have fun!
