I recently got kicked out my house by my parents and moved down to London to be with my dads cousin. Since then I really feel I've become a member of this family and my two younger cousins are like my little brother and sister. The only problem is I've never been a big sister before, and as naturally as this is coming to me I'm paranoid I'll do something wrong and that'll effect them both. So now that I have a job I want to take the whole family out to give my dads cousin a break from cooking etc. Does anyone know anywhere I could take them for a day out at the weekend in surrey that would amuse a 12 year old, a 14 year old and a fun loving , christ i dont know how old she is. Anyways any help would be useful. Cheers

Set them up for a summer camp. Or ask them what they would want to do.

Quasar or laserquest center (laser gun arenas) go down a treat.
Poss kart racing though the little one may be too young.
The prob is the 14 year old will want to do different stuff to the 12 year old...she is far more mature and will want to feel more gorwn up.
Windsurfing?
Someone mentioned painballing...
Whilst thats fun you ONLY do it with people mature enough NEVER to break the amin rule of removing goggles unless given permission... and ALL guns on the floor.
A strike in the eye from a paint ball at a distace will pop and explode the eyeball (yes it hurts as much as you think and blinds)
At short range can be fatal...
And you never know where a stray shot will come from...
Also they would need walking boots or similar trainers with ankle support given the terrain

You could go bowling - that appeals to all ages. Or try a Lazer Quest if there is one near you - you'll get serious brownie points for that. Or take them to the Cinema or swimming - kids love swimming - especially if there are slides. I don't know what your budget is - best of luck and I'm glad things seem to be going well after a rough patch. x

Amusement parks are popular. Also ask them where they would like to go...is there a film they'd like to see (there usually is), and you could go the whole way with popcorn and coke.
Kids that age like going to McDonalds and Pizza places where you get to help yourself to the food!
Paintball is good fun, though I don't know if u have that there. Swimming........picnics..........any concerts that they fancy??
Most things go down well if they're rounded off with some food afterwards eg fish and chips, and of course if u go to the pictures in the evening instead of during the daytime, it ups its value!!!

Isn't Madam Touseaud's Wax Museum down there in Surrey somewhere? They'd probably get a real kick out of that place!

If you are a good person, just being with you will make them happy.
Also, try asking them.

Teach them about the birds and the bees... Then tell them to try it on each other while you observe and correct any wrong moves
