I’d take the to the Marina Bat area in Singapore , to the top of the Marina Bay Hotel (which is shaped like a boat in the sky) and on to the Gardens by the Bay next door with the wonderful metal trees that you can go up into.

It might sound dull to some - but I would love to take mine to the Isle of Wight. We live in the midlands now, but I grew up there many years ago & it holds many special memories for me.
I would love for the next generation to see this beautiful Island, enjoy the unspoilt coastlines & taste a little of the freedom I had while growing up there.

I’d take them to the beautiful English Lake District where there are so many activities for all the family. I do rather hope it doesn’t rain too much!

I would take my three wonderful granddaughters, 4, 10 and 12 to Perth, Western Australia to see their Auntie (my daughter).
Western Australia has beautiful beaches, wonderful wildlife, sunny weather and blue skies. And lots of wonderful things to do! Idyllic!

I would like to take my Grandchildren to Australia to see an amazing flora and fauna, to visit Australia ZOO and admire beautiful scenery. I would love to teach them about protecting
marine environment, coral species, marine mammals and a wide range of seabirds. This would be an incredible experience for all of us which will stay in our memories forever.

I would take my grandchildren to Rekyvik to see the Northern lights and take them on a boat trip while we are there to see the Puffins and watch Whales take them to the thermal pond and let them see the Geezers and to breathe in the lovely fresh and clean air

I would take them to Indonesia and Senegal where their fathers were born. To experience a completely different culture and learn a new language and see that home can be anywhere if you open your heart and widen your horizons.

The Northern Lights

I have two DGC.
Who are 5 &8. This week their little life came tumbling down because their little Nana passed away.(this is their Dear Great Great Gran.)
She was their life . She lived next door to myself and after doing the teatime school run. They would dash in to tell her about their day.
My point is they now think she is the brightest star in the sky. So for me to take them to see the Northern Lights would be nothing but tremendous.
It would be an added bonus if they were to see a polar bear too .
They are obsessed but its sat that there is a possibility they may become extinct in thier lifetime.

I would take my grandson to dive on the Great Barrier Reef, so much of the reef is dying every year I so want him to experience it in his lifetime.

To Freshwater Eastand Barafundle Bay near Tenby to dig in the sand and explore the rocks. Wonderful memories of their parents enjoying this.

I would take my grandchildren to the Isle of Wight, where we spent our holidays when their parents growing up, it is one of the beautiful places anyone could go and the people are so friendly and welcoming.
The beaches are so lovely and crystal clear water couldn’t ask for anything more plus loads of interesting places to visit I just no they would love it,it would be nice to build new memories for me as their devoted grandad is sadly no longer with us.

I would take them to the Amazon rain forest before it's destroyed by land clearance and fire.

I would take them to Monterey in America. My mum was lucky enough to go there and said it’s the most visually beautiful place she’s ever been. Plus it has so many activities for children.
