Traveling with a Beagle and Toddler Lunch Break Tips in Horsham

Traveling with a beagle and a toddler can be quite the adventure. Recently, we took a road trip and made a stop in Horsham, Victoria, a quaint town offering the perfect spot for a lunch break. In this post, I’ll share our experiences and some practical tips that might help fellow travelers enjoy their break with ease.

Choosing the Right Spot

Finding the right spot in Horsham for a break with a beagle and a toddler requires planning. We looked for a place with open spaces for Sniffy, our energetic beagle, and safe play areas for our toddler.

After a bit of research, we decided on Horsham Park (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Horsham+Park/), which turned out to be ideal. The park spans approximately 60 acres and offers plenty of room for Sniffy to stretch his legs. Our toddler loved the playground, which was not only fun but also well-maintained.

Lunch Packing Tips

We discovered that packing our own lunch while traveling with a beagle and toddler saves both time and sanity. Here’s what we included:

1. Healthy Snacks: Fruits like apples and bananas, favorite toddler crackers, and some dog treats for Max.
2. Sandwiches: Simple ham and cheese sandwiches were easy to prepare and satisfying for all of us.
3. Drinks: We carried water bottles for everyone, including a travel water bowl for Max.

Beagle and Toddler Safety

Safety is a top priority, so we made sure to bring a few essentials along for a worry-free lunch break:

• Sniffy’s retractable leash and a treats for those energetic bursts.
• Our toddler’s Mountain Buggy stroller to contain him when needed.
• A first-aid kit for both human and canine emergencies.

Having these items handy made a significant difference, allowing us to enjoy our break without constant vigilance.

Local Amenities

Horsham also hosts a wide array of amenities, which we found beneficial during our visit. These include clean restrooms and nearby eateries if you choose not to pack lunch. We consulted TripAdvisor (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g186406-Horsham_West_Sussex_England.html) for highly-rated local restaurants offering both dine-in and takeaway services.

We appreciated having the option to purchase additional snacks, should our packed ones run out or if our toddler became extra picky (a common toddler trait). There’s also a pet-friendly café if you’d like to dine out with your beagle.
