Half Term at Brooklands Hotel

It’s half term in Surrey this week but if you’re in Berkshire, Sussex, Oxfordshire, or Hampshire, you’ve got a few days to wait until you break up.

We thought we’d put together a few ideas of things to do in and around Brooklands for kids (big & little) this half term. If you’re coming from further afield, our spacious family rooms with twin beds, comfy sofas, and a range of in-room entertainment, are the perfect place to relax in between exploring a whole host of attractions on the doorstep (& a little but further!).

First up, there’s Mercedes-Benz World a short (2 minute walk) away from the hotel. Explore three floors of exciting attractions and exhibits all about Mercedes-Benz cars. Or you can take to the track and enjoy one of the thrilling driving experiences as a passenger (or a driver for the parents!). For taller kids (over 1.5m), they can enjoy an action packed, off road driving experience in a G Class.

Brooklands Museum is a 5 minute walk from the hotel and is where you can discover the pioneers of speed, flight, and adventure at the birthplace of British motorsport, aviation, and home of Concorde. Step back in time to the days of innovation and record breaking on the site of the world’s first purpose built racetrack, some of which runs through our lobby. You can get up close to Concorde, which was designed, built & flown at Brooklands. There are also interactive exhibits of motor vehicles and aircraft plus the volunteers at the Museum have a wealth of knowledge about the word of motoring and aviation.

A bit further afield, but still reached within an hour, there are top attractions such as Legoland Windsor which is home to interactive rides, live shows, driving school and a staggering 80 million Lego bricks, all set in 150 acres of parkland. Chessington World of Adventures features a theme park, with over 40 rides and attractions so there’ll be something for all the family, and a zoo which brings you face to face with over 1000 incredible animals including lions, tigers, gorillas, monkeys, penguins, and underwater creatures in the SEA LIFE Centre.

So, there’s plenty to do at Brooklands and with our range of family breaks, you can enjoy a getaway with a great price as our packages feature exclusive discounts on entry prices to Brooklands Museum as well as driving experiences at Mercedes-Benz World.
