Fun and learning in the Isle of Wight

11 November 2011

Going to new places is an ideal way to learn about different cultures or pick up more knowledge about things that interest you. Holidays are an excellent way to unwind and relax but we all unwind in different ways. Some people like to be mentally challenged whilst relaxing and getting to learn about their hobbies or past-times can help to make a holiday a very pleasurable one. Staying in one of the many fine Isle of Wight hotels can give you the perfect starting point for having a holiday that you will remember for the rest of your life.

If you or anyone is your family loves dinosaurs, the Dinosaur Isle in Sandown is definitely going to be an exciting attraction. There are a number of great Isle of Wight hotels in this area so you should be able to find something close to the park, allowing you to get an early start on the exhibitions. Another brilliant aspect of the attraction is that it is indoors so even if you suffer an unexpected bad day with regards to the weather on the Isle of White, you will be able to stay warm and cosy whilst having a great time.

If you like history but don’t want to go back as far as the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth, you may find a trip to Carisbrooke Castle of more interest. The castle can be found near Newport, which means there are a great number of excellent Isle of Wight hotels to choose from, which should mean you can spend all day exploring the castle. This will be something that many children will get a kick out of so if you are travelling with the family, staying in this area of the island may be the perfect location.

The Botanic Gardens in the Ventnor region of the island is also somewhere you can spend the entire day with the family. The younger members of the group will adore the children’s playground but the gardens provide the perfect opportunity to see exotic and sub-tropical plants from around the world. With free admission, this is an attraction that can help you to make the most of your money and again, is ideally located for a number of the highly recommended Isle of Wight hotels. With a warm welcome guaranteed in the Botanic Gardens, it is definitely something that should be on your list of things to do during your time on the Isle of Wight.

Something a little bit different but highly exciting can be found with the Waltzing Waters exhibition. This is like a fireworks display but with water, making it a pleasant experience for everyone and can be viewed at all times of day. Music from different decades provides the soundtrack for a visual treat that should be pleasing for people of all ages. This is definitely one of the main tourist attractions on the isle and it should be seen as a key reason to get you out of your Isle of Wight hotels for the day.
