Hack the holidays
Searching for things for families to do in Milton Keynes… and coming up short? Keep the little ones entertained this summer at Unity Place. From our digital treasure hunt to low-cost lunches and fun spaces to explore, our community hub has entertainment options for all ages. Brimming with free activities and opportunities to get creative, our destination in the heart of Milton Keynes is here to keep kids happy (and parents sane) in the long sunny season.
The best free activity for kids this summer – a digital treasure hunt
Searching for ways to keep those curious minds busy during the summer holidays? From11th – 29th August, bring your budding adventurers down to Unity Place to take part in a free digital treasure hunt, taking place on weekdays. With clues scattered around the building, fun animations, and plenty of open space to discover, you can guarantee they’ll be entertained. A sweet treat prize at the end of the trail should prove great motivation to keep them engaged throughout!
To join the trail, just drop by Rye’s Deli, at the heart of Unity Place Urban Food Market from 10am-2pm weekdays between 11th – 29th August and ask for a free game sheet. It also happens to be the perfect spot for mum or dad to grab a delicious coffee to savour whilst the little ones get thinking.
Pizza, pastries, and pick-me-ups
A day of family activities in Milton Keynes wouldn’t be complete without good grub. From morning munchies to midday feasts, our Urban Food Market has it all. Open from 8am, it’s ideal for families with early risers in tow. For those with a sweet tooth (and those craving a caffeine fix), the Baker’s Room is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, packed with tasty treats the kids will love. Come lunchtime, our ever-changing food stalls serve up everything from familiar flavours to adventurous delicacies.
Something for everyone
If you’ve got active little ones or budding artists looking for more after the Treasure Trail is over, we’ve got just the trick. Our giant games are fun for all the family and may just keep the kids in one place for a few moments! For those who enjoy quieter activities or like to get creative, our drawing station is just the trick.
Time for a trim?
Getting a haircut might not be every kid’s idea of fun – especially when still feels like an impossible mission. But at ROK Barbers at Unity Place, even the wriggliest little ones are in good hands. These pros know how to make haircuts quick, easy and enjoyable. After all, it’s a lot easier to sit still when there’s the promise of a tasty pizza or sweet treat at the end! To make things even better, this August, ROK Barbers are offering 10% off haircuts for kids using code UNITYKIDS10.
Easy breezy location
Tired of hearing “Are we there yet?” We get it. Luckily, we’re based in an ultra-convenient location. Just a short stroll from Milton Keynes Central Station and close to major bus links, we’re a great spot for families looking for fun things to do in the area without the travel fuss. And once you get here, the vibrant, open design is ideal for curious kids to roam around in a safe and welcoming space.
