Best Family Days Out in Tring

A free-to-enter (or cheap) museum of extraordinary stuffed animals, four reservoirs and a manor with grounds: Tring over-indexes on children’s days out.

NHM Tring is the unique offer. Pendley and the reservoirs share the rest. It is a better family town than its size suggests.

Check museum booking rules before you promise the cases of zebras.

A day that survives rain, a budget, and a child who is finished 40 minutes early.

Aldbury Memorial Hall

The Green, Tring · Tring

Aldbury Memorial Hall is listed as a venue in The Green, Tring, HP23 5RR. The map pin comes from OpenStreetMap. Check opening times before you visit.

Aldbury is almost too photogenic, which is why you should still go, just not at 11am on a bank holiday if you need a parking space. Walk up to the monument or stay on the green. The pubs work harder than the film crews.

Ashridge Estate

Monument Drive, near Aldbury · Berkhamsted

The essential Dacorum landscape. Start at the monument or at Aldbury, pick a colour of mud, and accept that summer Saturdays are communal. Bluebells in spring are famous for a reason; so are the car parks that fill by 10am.

Natural History Museum at Tring

Akeman Street, Tring · Tring

The most surprising museum in Hertfordshire sits on Akeman Street. Cases of animals collected by a Victorian who kept zebras. Children go quiet. Adults remember that Tring was a Rothschild town. Check current ticketing; it has not always been a walk-up.
