I would take mine to Horton in Ribblesdale. My late DH loved it there and I would love them to see the three peaks that he used to walk.

I would take my grandson to Lapland to see the 'real' Father Christmas. I took my boys when they were 6 & 7 & it was amazing. We went tobogganing, had a husky dog safari, a snowmobile safari, a Sleigh ride and visited the Santa Clause village in Rovaniemi. Think its an amazing experience to give a child.

I would take them to Africa to experience a wide range of flora, fauna and different life styles to our own, which would enrich their lives more than disney world/alton towers ect x

I would take them to Norway to see the Northern Lights.

I would love to take them to the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, Tokyo. Somewhere I would love to go myself as I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli. It gives an alternative to Disney's dominance in animated movies. They love the Studio Ghibli films as do their Mum and her siblings.

I would take them to Ireland to show them all the places I used to go when I was a child. Give them the lovely memories I have of such a friendly place.

I would take them on the Eurostar to Disneyland Paris and then do the sights of Paris.

Would take them around Europe to experience the different cultures, to learn about different countries and discover their history

I'd take them to Australia to visit my relatives

I'd love to hire a cottage in Whitby and spend some fun days on the beach, playing games & splodging in the sea. Lots of ice creams and fish & chips and walking the coastline.

IONA, The most beautiful place in the world.

Tokyo. Took his mum when she was little, she has always wanted to go back so I'd takes them both

If I could I'd take my granddaughter Emma to meet her great great nana's and great great grandads who are no longer with us. She would love to see them. They would be fascinated by how clever and beautiful she is and would love to hear all about her home in Australia. We would have so much fun talking, laughing and playing. She would learn from them and them from her. She could show them how although we live many miles apart she is able to see me, wave at me and say nan nan! All on th
A mobile phone. Emma is just one but I know she would love it ?

I would take my daughter to Disneyland Paris she would love it there.

I would take my 2 grand daughters to The Eden Project in Cornwall, they both love planting, growing, picking, harvesting and would be in awe of the space. Also, it would allow a little extra time holidaying in the Cornish beaches

I would take him to Chengdu to see the pandas (he lives in Shanghai so it's possible I will get to do that one day!)

funstr Mon 28-Oct-19 15:55:38

to Alaska to see the northern lights, camping out under the stars, also see the wildlife. then a cruise along shore whale watching and possibly an iceberg. train ride down though Canada seeing the changing colours of trees. followed by holiday in Florida for the Keys, Busch gardens and Gator land, plus other wildlife reserves (and odd ride or two)

valseal Mon 28-Oct-19 14:38:03

It would be a cruise down the Nile. Such wonders!

brizy830 Mon 28-Oct-19 14:22:38

Canada, where their great grandparents were born and where they have a lot of extended family

sassielassie Mon 28-Oct-19 14:22:36

it would be Australia, since the youngest made his teacher believe they went there on the holidays, its a dream to make it come true for him

jannxxx Mon 28-Oct-19 12:29:30

i would take them to a hot sunny beach with white sands blue warm sea and id teach them both to swim

kelliec Mon 28-Oct-19 12:07:34

They want to go to Japan

OscarsNana Sun 27-Oct-19 21:36:16

I'd take them on a space shuttle to orbit around the planet, to feel weightlessness, swimming in the air. We'd look down at the clouds and see the continents below, imagine whats in the great oceans. See how fragile our world looks from up there and how we all belong to our planet, one family.

pineapple99 Sun 27-Oct-19 20:58:01

I would take them to Centre Parcs at Longleat for Christmas because it is absolutely magical.
