Discovering all the best free and cheap places to take your children

I’m Laura Miller – journalist, radio producer and mum of two sons aged eight and six. You really don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a brilliant adventure with children. Milton Keynes Kids is your independent personal guide to the best free and cheap days out for kids in and around Milton Keynes. I feature the best parks, country parks, kid-friendly museums, bargain days out and seasonal events locally. There are no adverts. If you find a review useful and go as a result, please do consider buying me a coffee to help with the running costs of this website and creation of content.
