List of attractions around Milton Keynes

Hey all :)
Just wanted to share a website I made for parents looking for family-friendly activities in MK and surrounding areas Things To Do With Kids
It has a list and a map with places you can go over weekend with family and kids. Originally made for Northamptonshire, I added few more counties now (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Warwickshire).
I know there are already similar sites but they are mostly outdated, slow and so full of sponsored links that found them rather unusable. That's why I made this one :) Hope you find it useful too!

Bit late to this thread, but this is a really useful site, thanks!
Formula Fast in Milton Keynes would be a good fit to add if you’re still updating the list, especially for indoor activities / older kids / teens / family groups.
All indoors and under one roof so no weather restrictions, just up the road from Stadium MK and MK1 Shopping.
I tried emailing the Things To Do With Kids contact but no reply, DM if you'd like more suggestions/info (long time MK resident)

Couple of things missing after a quick scan through. Patch MK is fantastic just outside of Deanshanger, kids outdoor fun and activities, also great for parents. This summer had mazes with mind bending facts and illusions, and the dinosaur maze with amazing facts. Also the new bowling alley and laser tag type arrangement at the former staples in cmk, think it's called Tenpin. Also cannot see Ninja Warrior by Asda, great for like minded kids and adults. Similar theme to the tv show

Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion, I already started building list of things to add from other posts.

this is good, thx. What would be even better is to share some of those hidden places, parks, walks that is not an attraction per se but a nice day out with kids. That would be awesome. Maybe I create it

Looks good! I wonder if you’d consider adding a filter for things to do that are free? I see the info is on each individual page but being able to sort by free would be useful.

Yes! I'm just waiting for a bit more feedback to chose what filters to add without piling on too many. I'm thinking: free/paid, indoor/outdoor, national trust etc.

The site crashed after selecting Castle category, division by zero? Now only shows an animal farm with a ski slope picture.

That's not good 😁 Which browser are you using? Did it happen only once or every time you select castle?
I just tested it in chrome and Firefox and when I select castle it does not find anything but does not crash.
