About
I'm Katie, a mum of 2 from South Wales
What started as me bookmarking websites and searching for recommendations for parks, cafés, splash pads and rainy day activities has finally turned into Little Adventures Wales – a place to share all of our favourite finds in one place.
From woodland walks and sculpture trails to soft play centres and sunflower fields, my goal is simple:
To help families make memories together without needing expensive holidays or perfectly curated lives.
Why Little Adventures Wales Exists
As parents, weekends and school holidays can feel expensive and overwhelming – especially when you’re trying to entertain children without spending a fortune.
I wanted to create a website that made it easier for local families to discover:
- Affordable days out
- Hidden gems across South Wales
- Seasonal activities
- Family-friendly cafés
- Outdoor adventures
- Rainy day inspiration
- Activities for toddlers, children and tweens
- A directory for local family-friendly businesses
Everything shared on Little Adventures Wales is designed to help make family life a little easier – and a lot more fun.

honest recommendations
Many of the places featured on Little Adventures Wales are places we’ve personally visited as a family.
I aim to keep information as accurate and up to date as possible, but opening times, prices and facilities can change – so I always recommend checking directly with the venue before travelling.
