I would take them to New York for Christmas and New Year. Wonderful.

I'd take them to where I was born and grew up, then perhaps to where their great-grandparents came from...

I'd take them to Shell Beach on little Herm Island - a very favourite place of my own childhood - and we'd hunt for the miniature shells you find there and draw a mermaid picture in the sand, decorating her tail with shells and stones, and making her hair of seaweed. It's a very special place to be.

I think they would love to go to Orlando To go to Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom.

I would take my Grandchildren to Gorleston, Norfolk. The beach is lovely and clean and you can watch the ships being reversed into the harbour by a very skillful Harbour Master. The views are lovely and there is also a sandy play area for them to have fun in.

I would love to take them to Lapland before the magic of Christmas dies

Greenwich , visit the college, the church, see the painted ceiling and enjoy the Thames. History comes alive !

I would take them to New Zealand to visit family and friends, and to travel around North and South Islands to experience the difference in geography and climate between the two, and the wonderful wildlife.

I would take them to Ireland, where I was born & lived for my first 18 years. First, I would take them to my home city, Dublin & show them where I grew up, Then I would take them to the West of Ireland, where I spent so many wonderful school holidays, with my own Grandparents.

I would take them to Chester Zoo, because they love watching all the 'The Secret Life of the Zoo' and want to go see the animals live.

I would take them to Alaska to ensure they saw the wildlife that may not be around when they have children. Hopefully, this will ensuthey look after our planet and also give then a once in a lifetime holiday.

I would take them to Rome, it is a stunning place and is full of history. There is also plenty to do and see.

I would take my dear Grandaughter to a particular caravan site in North Wales for a relaxing break. Its the special place that I used to take her Mum to when she was small. I am always telling her stories about the long Summer holidays many moons ago when I used to take her Mum to Wales. We have so many special memories of those days. Her Mum learned to walk in the field by our caravan, learned to ride her first bike around the caravan, and she learned to whistle and tried her first favourite foods. It would be great to bring the memories and stories to life for my grandaughter. Memories are treasures that are cherised in your heart forever.

I would (and probably soon) take them to Wroclaw to visit the zoo. Best zoo I've ever been to, they would absolutely love it

cumnock2 Fri 01-Nov-19 12:24:27

I have taken my grandson to the Riverside Museum Glasgow, and will again because it is a wonderful place

AliW1 Fri 01-Nov-19 13:49:10

To Ironbridge in Shropshire because it holds special memories for the whole family.

I would take my Grandchildren to Australia to The Great Barrier Reef so they can take in the beauty of watching all the sharks and beautiful fishes swimming in natural climate

Audrie57 Fri 01-Nov-19 14:53:13

I would like to take my x 2 great grandchildren on different train routes throughout the world, let them have a bed room(cabin) and they would love it. Its a huge world out there and its changing fast, so I would love them to see things I have, In Gambia the poverty but the crocs, I was able to stroke one, and I know that these 2 would love it. Take crayons for the children and balloons and a case full of clothes for them, Its not a lot, but it helps, then Canada, Golden Gate Bridge in California. I would like to see as much of the world as they can.

I would take them to Disneyland in Paris.

antheaholloway Fri 01-Nov-19 16:22:19

I would love to take them to see my cousin in Queensland, Australia. It is such a super place and they would soon feel very much at home.

Trace21 Fri 01-Nov-19 17:02:24

I would be absolutely thrilled to take the munchkins to Lapland to visit Father Christmas. How magical it would be and give them cherished memories to last forever.
