To borrow a twee saying, the best things in life are free, such as these cool activities your kid will absolutely adore. We asked Visit England to select 10 tried and tested days out, and here's their selection from search and rescue to playing keepie-uppy.

Great ideas .... if you're staying at home, however, or looking to save money over the half term break, take a look at gettingstuckin.co.uk - a new site containing loads of ideas for indoor fun with the kids .. all activities, tips and best buys tried and tested by a mum and her 3 kids. Never hear "i'm bored" again ! Total livesaver for all the wet days we've had of late :)

..it`s a fine selection ! It`s good to see such varied opportunity in England ! Sharks off Cornwall was surprising;good old Blackpool (congratulations too !);the natural beauty of Northumberland,the West Country and the Lake District;the science lesson would be interesting..also the Science Museum and Natural History Museum;then there was the RAF,Man Utd and Durham Cathedral.
..It will probably take me longer than 7 days to see them all (more like 7 years) ~

...Went to World's Largest Practical Science Lesson event in Nottingham___TOTALLY FANTASTICALLY AWESOME!!! It cost £12.60 return by train with a family and friends railcard for 1 adult and 2 children. We packed a lunch for the day and only bought drinks for a grand total of £14.60. We made it into the Guiness Book of Records AND had a blast...priceless!
