What are some family-friendly attractions on the Isle of Wight?

A scenic view of Isle of Wight

Small but perfectly formed and full of fun—a description fit for Wight and, perhaps, your children too. No wonder, then, that the two make a great pairing. With beaches, trains, dinosaurs, and great campsites, the Isle of Wight could have been made for family holidays. Its sunny days mean you can enjoy eating ice creams and playing on the golden sands of the east coast beaches, but even if the weather fails to play ball, there are wet-weather attractions too, like the Dinosaur Isle museum and heritage railway. Other hot spots for kids include Restricted Area 5 in the quirky Blackgang Chine theme park and Monkey Haven. Even better, the island’s compact size means that getting from place to place never takes too long. You can also explore different options for camping near Isle of Wight on Hipcamp.
