Trailfinders is a family-run business which has been in operation for over 50 years so we know families – we are one! The world is so much more accessible than ever before and with so much to see and do that is fun for everyone, the world is your oyster. We have highlighted a few of our favourite family experiences around the world which we believe are a must for that perfect family holiday.

Kennedy Space Centre, USA

One small step for man, one giant leap to FUN! The Kennedy Space Centre is home to a thrilling array of attractions and interactive exhibits for all the family.


With so much to see and do in one place, the SpacePass offers an extra day to explore the visitor complex as well as enjoying an exclusive behind the scenes tour and lunch with a real life astronaut! If you time it just right, you may even have the opportunity to see a launch to the International Space Station.


 

Night Safari, Singapore

Lions, tigers and bears…oh my! Singapore is home to the world’s first Night Safari and provides the perfect opportunity to experience the jungle after dark.


Start the evening with an exciting fire breathing show before boarding the safari tram for your ride around the animal exhibits. Animals such as fishing cats, spotted hyenas, Malayan tigers and the Asian elephant are all most active at night and this experience provides the perfect opportunity to see these fascinating creatures.


 

Roar & Snore Taronga Zoo, Australia

Experience Sydney’s ultimate sleepover with a glamping trip to Taronga Zoo. As the doors to the zoo close, enter the park for an exclusive behind the scenes tour after dark for a personal encounter with some of the zoo’s friendliest residents.


Enjoy a dinner buffet and reception down at camp overlooking the glittering lights of Sydney Harbour, before falling asleep to the gentle sound of the Kookaburra. Awake to the sounds of the animals demanding their breakfast and even help out the keepers to feed the giraffes, an up close and personal wildlife experience to remember!


Hobbiton, New Zealand

You can search far and wide, you can drink the whole town dry….well parents can at the Green Dragon Inn! No trip to New Zealand is complete without visiting at least one location from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit series. Hobbiton is the only set that is still standing from the films and has become an iconic attraction for visitors to the North Island.


Tour the Hobbit holes, the surrounding working sheep farms, take a group picture at the gate of Bag End and enjoy a spot of lunch at The Shire Cafe, just as the Hobbits do.


Cowboy Cookout, Canada

Yeehaw! Don your cowboy boots and Stetson to enjoy a true Cowboy Cookout experience in the great Canadian outdoors. After a traditional wagon ride along the Bow River deep into the Rocky Mountains, try your hand at lassoing, horseshoe throwing and other Wild West games before enjoying a cookout of a BBQ steak dinner over the fire.


With an amazing scenic back drop and a fun experience for the entire family, this is the perfect way to end a day exploring the beautiful wilderness of the Rockies, cowboy style.


Search for Sloths in Costa Rica

Who doesn't love a sloth...?! However despite taking their time to do anything these fascinating creatures are surprisingly elusive. Explore the beautiful area of La Fortuna with your expert guide will seek out the best places to search for sloths in the wild.


Take the opportunity to admire this fascinating animal and learn some random facts about these curious creatures!


 

Explore Rome, Italy

When the sun goes down, the lights are turned up onto Rome’s famous monuments. See all the highlights in a single evening on this Family Friendly Night Tour of Rome and enjoy an educational insight into Roman history complete with contests, a treasure hunt, pizza and gelato.


It’s the perfect introduction to the capital and fun for all the family!


 

Monkey Magic in Sri Lanka

Meet the cheeky monkeys of Polonnaruwa! Watch these playful primates tuck into their breakfast bananas and learn about the native species which inhabit the ruins of this ancient city on our Monkey Magic tour.


Look out for grey langurs, toque macaques and purple-faced langurs playing in the grounds of these spectacular ruins.


 

Ultimate Penguin Parade, Australia

Take your family on a waddle on the wild side! A secluded section of beach is the perfect spot to watch the world-famous Penguin Parade as the little penguins march up the beach to their nesting places after a day of fishing.


With high-tech night vision scopes to hand, you are equipped to catch the entire show.
