Our very first TotFest… and WOW. Blown away is an understatement! 😍
We’re always on the lookout for family days out that genuinely live up to the hype — and our first ever TotFest absolutely delivered.
We headed out from Wimbledon to Kempton Park Racecourse, around a 35-minute drive, for a day packed with toddler-sized adventures and, honestly, it was one of the best family days out we’ve had.
And the thing we loved most?
No constantly reaching for your wallet.
No collecting tokens.
No paying extra for every activity.
Just let the little ones run, play, explore and discover at their own pace.
As a parent, it makes such a difference knowing that once you’ve paid for your ticket, you can actually relax and enjoy the day rather than constantly wondering what the next activity is going to cost!
TotFest is designed specifically for babies through to children aged 5, with activities that are genuinely suited to little people.
There was such a lovely mix of activities, meaning you could move from something energetic to something calmer whenever your toddler needed a change of pace.
And because everything is aimed at younger children, the whole atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming.
There was SO much to choose from, but these were some of our favourites:
An absolute lifesaver in the heat! ☀️💦
There were different water-play stations where the kids could splash, experiment and cool down — and, as expected, this was a huge hit.
For all the little digger and construction-obsessed toddlers out there… this one is for you!
There was a brilliant building area with construction vehicles, giving little ones plenty of opportunities to get stuck in and play.
Who doesn’t love a bit of crazy golf?!
It was lovely having activities that parents could get involved with too, rather than simply standing on the sidelines watching.
The scooter park was another big hit, giving little ones the chance to whizz around and burn off some energy.
Yes… FIVE! 😂
Because apparently one bouncy castle simply wasn’t enough.
There were multiple inflatables to choose from, which meant plenty of bouncing opportunities for little legs.
And then there were the Baby Raves…
Honestly, these felt like a mini festival for the grown-ups too! 😂🎵
The atmosphere was brilliant, the music was fun and watching a whole crowd of babies and toddlers dancing around was pretty adorable.
One of the things that really stood out to us was the atmosphere.
The organisers were so friendly, energetic and genuinely enthusiastic about creating an amazing experience for families.
There was such a lovely feeling throughout the day — parents were relaxed, children were having fun and everyone seemed to be embracing the slightly chaotic joy that comes with hundreds of little ones having the time of their lives!
For us, absolutely.
The fact that so many activities are included in the entry price makes a huge difference, particularly when you’re visiting with young children who want to try EVERYTHING.
We never felt like we had to choose which activities were “worth paying extra for” — we could simply follow our toddler’s lead and see what caught his attention.
And that’s exactly how a family day out should feel.
Would we go again? 100%!
If you’re looking for a Beyond the Borough day out that is packed with activities for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, TotFest is definitely one to add to your list.
