The wife normally takes me to McDonalds; the meal deal with toy keeps me occupied for ages.

Brighton factually.....
My daughter is 6 but her favourite day out is Pier in the morning (including the new soft play which is fantastic), DAYS for lunch then back across the road for a ride on the seafront merry-go-round and chucking stones in to the sea.

That sound pretty much the same as my daughters routine, however throw in Boho Gelato at Pool Valley.

Not for everyone but my 6 year old quite enjoyed the i360! Other than that with our 4 and 6 years old boys we tend to park up near the level, there is quite a good children's park there and plenty of space for scooters and bikes if thats his thing. They do some decent cakes and kids hot chocolate in the cafe there and then afterwards you can walk in to the open market or the Laines.

We also go to 'The big park' in Peacehaven and Hove Park, both of which are good modern parks have cafe's and plenty of space.

This. He's only 4. His favourite thing will be spending time with you, throwing stones in the sea and running away from the waves (assuming he's got a nice warm coat on and it's not blowing a hooly), then a hot chocolate (with marshmallows and cream somewhere. That's where the memories are.

The little ones play area on The Level, near the skatepark, seems to be entertaining enough.

Thanks guys, some relatively sensible ideas in there - some I didn't know about and some I'd forgotten. I'll make a list and take it with us and then just go with the flow.

Good ole NSC!

Mine wanted to go up it, so we booked tickets and in typical dad joke style spoilt it for everyone as we were walking up to it, I happened to mention that I had read somewhere the main structure was built our of cardboard in a cost cutting exercise, and would probably collapse in a shower or strong gust of wind........ Tears, Stamping of feet, crossed arms...... Twenty minutes later, me and my daughter are sat at the bottom of the i360 looking up at the pod gradually moving upwards and staring back at us with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face was the wife.....

Just take him to a pub and make him sit there with a bottle of Coke and a bag of crisps all afternoon. Par for the course when I was growing up in the 70s...
