And while you could hop on a train and head to London for a day out, Bedfordshire has no shortage of attractions a little closer to home.
We've taken a look on TripAdvisor to see what's recommended.
But don't forget there are plenty of places not listed here that are well worth a visit.

9. Birds of Prey Centre, Herrings Green Farm
Herrings is home to one of the largest collections of birds of prey in the UK. But that's not all - it's also home to more than 200 birds and animals and on top of that it has a packed daily programme of events from tractor rides to flying displays to the pirates cove playground. Half term events include the chance to meet and handle an owl. Photo: Birds of Prey Centre, Herrings Green Farm
10. Ascott House & Gardens, Wing, near Leighton Buzzard
As well as the chance to explore the house and gardens of this historic estate, visitors this half term can also enjoy special activities - as Rhian from Nature Makers hosts a series of free drop-in craft activities. Have a go at decorating a vase, make a yarn bee or take part in a scavenger hunt. Photo: Google Maps
