To Cornwall to see the beautiful seaside. Love it there

I would take them to Santorini where I went in my twenties. It is truly beautiful. Great food and wonderful friendly people.

Penelopa024 Sun 03-Nov-19 23:02:13

I would take them to DisneyWorld, not only because none of them been there but also because I have never been to one .

I think I'd love to take them on a real African safari! Beats a day at the zoo!

It's got to be Lapland would be a dream for the children and me

I would take them on safari, to see the lions and giraffes,
And we would watch through our binoculars, having lots of laughs.
We might spot some elephants, plodding slowly along,
While my little granddaughters decide to sing their favourite animal song.
Their faces would light up, to see the wildlife run free
And we’d sit back and relax, with a cake and flask of tea.
And although this would probably only ever be a dream,
We can still imagine our adventures, and all the animals we have seen.

I would love to take my Grandchildren to Lapland to meet the real Father Christmas. It looks so magical there!

Jannette Sun 03-Nov-19 21:30:50

I am looking forward to taking my grandchildren to Texas in 5 years time to see a total eclipse. They live in Vietnam so it will be so different for them. I dont get to see them enough so am looking forward to the trip.

I would take them to California, Chicago and Milwaukee to follow my Dad's footsteps as he travelled around the US as a boy

Florida - they would love the Disney parks, sunshine and beaches

Kiddy555 Sun 03-Nov-19 21:04:12

I would love to take my grandkids to Majorca as we were supposed to go last year but had to cancel!!

Lizzy502 Sun 03-Nov-19 21:00:45

I’d take them to Verona to show them where their grandfather proposed to me and teach them the classic Romeo and Juliet story

Albangirl14 Sun 03-Nov-19 20:47:36

I would take them to South Africa to see their other Granny who they call Go Go as their Daddy is South African but am pleased to say he married my daughter but they live in England . I would be lovely for the two Grannies to meet up.

I would take my grandson to the Giraffe Hotel in Kenya to enjoy this wonderful experience, it would be an incredible thrill for him.

nanniek Sun 03-Nov-19 20:40:24

I'm sure there will be lots of answers to this question in the time to come but right now I'd like to be there when they first experience Disney World and Mickey.

ziggy2407 Sun 03-Nov-19 20:20:54

I'd take my grandchildren (and children) to Mexico, I'd love to show them all the beauty, visit the Mayan ruins and Chichin Itza (so much more interesting than Minecraft)

Carolann99 Sun 03-Nov-19 20:17:13

I would normally say Florida, because it's so much fun. But at the moment I would say a visit to the Tutankhamen exhibition that has just opened in London. I saw it in 1972. It was magnificent, and apparently it will never leave Egypt again. The Treasures of the Pharaoh's tomb are a wonder to behold I think grandchildren should see them if they are old enough to understand the history of Ancient Egypt.

walt disney world in florida,so magical there

MrsLefty1010 Sun 03-Nov-19 20:01:19

A day on the beach, with a picnic, donkey rides, and a go in the amusements because its the type of fun children remember for a lifetime.

Tergly Sun 03-Nov-19 19:53:54

Disneyland in Florida. They range from 3 to 11 years and would not get bored!

chris2468 Sun 03-Nov-19 19:46:11

l would love to take them back to Zip World in North Wales as they had the most fantastic time there

Sarah1271 Sun 03-Nov-19 19:39:14

I would take them to Disney land to visit Mickey mouse and experience the magic

SylviaP Sun 03-Nov-19 19:38:05

I would take them to Menorca, this was where I took my own children on their first trip abroad. They thoroughly enjoyed it x

To Jamaica to discover family roots. Janet
