As a family, do you like exploring your region, going to discover new places, having good ideas for outings with the children ? You have to amuse them, let off steam, tickle their curiosity to get them away from the TV? Here are our top family activities in Haute-Garonne to do with the return of the good weather!

The Donkey Beehive in Rieux

It's an educational farm for great donkey rides, but not only that! In this season, they offer plans for your vegetable garden and a whole host of cute animals to discover. Even adults will fall in love! Visit the farm with rabbits, pigs, dwarf goats and bees that make honey as the name of the place indicates!

Geocaching in Haute-Garonne

Free, fun and educational, geocaching is an activity that appeals to children, but also to parents! It's a real treasure hunt, life-size. The goal? Using your smartphone and an application to download (on the Android and Apple stores), you must look for "caches" that give you clues to find the next ones until the end point. All you have to do is locate yourself on the application and it will show you the hunts nearby.

In the caches, we find small objects, like treasures, trophies! Some tourist offices offer specific, historical routes, around nature or heritage.

The Museum Gardens in Borderouge

North of Toulouse, in Borderouge, a visit to the Museum Gardens is a delight. There is a large vegetable garden with 700 varieties of plants, paths on a 3 ha natural area, in the heart of the Maourine park. You can go there on organized visits with a mediator. An educational beehive will arouse the curiosity of children. It is a living and amazing museum !

Strawberry picking near Toulouse

It's the right time of year!

Come and pick your own produce, it's so bucolic and economical ! You pick and pay at the end only for the weight of what is in your basket; from the field to the plate, if you haven't eaten everything before. Take gloves and something to protect yourself from the sun. You should bring your containers, for even more ecological spirit !
