About Day Explorers

We're a home educating family near London. We made Day Explorers to share the days out, courses and events we've found that work well for home ed families – especially places with home ed days, discounts, or quiet weekdays.

Every place here is chosen by us. Where you see "Why we'd go" and "Watch out for", those are our own first-hand notes from visiting.

Prices, opening times and dates change. Each place shows the date we last checked its details, so please always check with the venue before you travel.
