The Ultimate Family-Friendly Backyard Staycation
Around 52% of Brits are saying bon voyage to international trips and holidays across Europe, opting to stay closer to home instead. Many attribute this staycation boom to the rising cost of living, long hours at the airport, and seemingly endless car journeys. The benefits of staying closer to home are very obvious too . Jet-setting across Europe can be expensive, while staycations let your budget go further. They also offer the perfect opportunity to create unforgettable memories without the stress of flight delays or complicated travel plans.
What is a Staycation?
A staycation is a holiday spent in your home country instead of going abroad. However, the term can also describe the ultimate staycation: enjoying your own home and all it has to offer, or taking day trips to explore nearby attractions.
Essentially, a staycation should have three components: a break from daily routine, plenty of fun and laughter, and a touch of holiday magic.
Here are a few ways exciting staycation ideas:
Camp in Your Backyard
While the thought of packing up your sleeping bag and tent can sound like a good idea, sometimes keeping things a little closer to home can be a great way to enjoy a thrilling mini-adventure.
If you have the space, pitching a tent in your backyard can be a fun way to create memories with the kids. Roast marshmallows over the barbecue, tell spooky stories as the sun sets, and when it gets a little too scary, run back inside! Easigrass provides an even surface that makes setting up your tent quite easy. Plus, you won’t have to worry about any creepy-crawlies sneaking into the tent because our artificial grass provides a clean, safe and bug-free surface.
Outdoor Games Galore
One of the toughest things any parent can do is keep the kids entertained, especially during the school holidays! Luckily, your garden offers the perfect playground if you’re willing to lend just a little creativity and some fun family activities. Here are just some of our favourites:
Bean Bag Toss: This can be a great way to help the kids (and adults) burn off some extra energy. All you need is an incline board with a hole, a few bags, your Easigrass, and a competitive spirit.
Giant Jenga: There’s nothing more exciting than watching a giant tower of blocks tumble over! Artificial grass provides the perfect playing surface for those giant block pieces to fall, absorbing the impact and keeping little hands and knees safe.
A Game of Golf: This is a hole-in-one for family fun and is a great way for you and the kids to practice their putting skills. Easigrass are experts in home putting green installations, offering you the perfect surface for some staycation fun.
Enjoy Your City’s Local Attractions
While staying at home is one way to enjoy your staycation, you may have the itch to step outside the house every now and again. Embracing the essence of staycations gives you the perfect excuse to rediscover the hidden gems of your city, such as museums, historic landmarks, parks, or quirky coffee shops. Mix a few popular spots with lesser-known attractions to create a balanced staycation itinerary.
Picnic or Outdoor Dining
One of the simplest ways to enjoy your staycation is by laying out a blanket on your natural-feel artificial grass and whipping out a few delicious sandwiches. Our award-winning artificial lawn is designed to be soft underfoot, offering you a comfortable location to sit, lounge, or even take a nap once your tummy is full. Even after light rain, artificial turf’s excellent drainage ensures the surface dries quickly, so you can enjoy a picnic in almost every season.
The Ultimate Staycation
Whether you’re enjoying a few lawn games with friends and family or a peaceful picnic with the kids, Easigrass offers a versatile surface that makes the perfect foundation for your staycation retreat. Low-maintenance and durable, enjoy a lush and vibrant surface throughout the year.
