Toddler Tuesdays
On the first Tuesday of the month, drop by the cafe for toddler fun with activities. Every month there's a new theme based on the seasons to keep your little ones entertained. Find out what themes are coming up soon by clicking the What's on link above.
Bikes
We'd love for you to cycle to Stowe, please lock bikes up in the spaces provided in the car park. You need to be on foot patrol in the gardens so you don't miss anything. Small scooters and balance bikes can be taken into the gardens. We kindly ask that bikes with pedals don't go in the gardens.
Hungry tummies
Our café, with indoor and outdoor seating, is the perfect pit stop for hungry families. Enjoy healthy, fresh meals, child’s portions, pick and mix children’s lunch boxes and tasty treats. Or picnic in the gardens or temples - just pick a spot. Find out more about the café.
Happy families
Weather experts
Here are our top tips for embracing the outdoors whatever the weather at Stowe.
-
When the sun is shining, you'll find the wooded areas and temples a good place to rest and find some shade
-
The gardens are large. For fun days out with smiling kids at the end, bring sunhats, sun cream and bottles of water to stay hydrated. Plan a route to decide how far you'll go and choose rest stops along the way
-
Fill up water bottles for free from the cafe. You'll find the watre tap on the servery area alongside utensils, saving you from joining any queue
-
To dodge rain showers, use the temples as shelters
-
Temples with shelter, some benches or to use for picnic spots are: The Lake Pavilions, Concord and Victory, Ancient Virtue, The Grotto, The Cascade (there are small nooks to sit in), Queens Temple, The Fane of Pastoral Poetry
-
You'll find seasonal items for sale in our shop if you've left something behind at home
-
Ice creams are on sale in the shop as well as the cafe, if you need a quick family 'pick me up'
