You've graduated, and graduation and family times go hand in hand - so we've put together some unique and some more traditional ideas for what to do as a celebratory day out. From the London Eye to the brand new Lee Valley VeloPark, we found seven fantastic days out for you to truly celebrate that degree grade.
1. Snozone MK
Where? Milton Keynes, Xscape
When? Throughout the summer
It may be summer, but that doesn't mean you can't hit the slopes. Summer is a great time to learn a brand new sport at your own pace, and Snozone at Milton Keynes' Xscape offers quieter slopes and great quality snow. Theres the opportunity to take part in day-long sledging sessions, which costs only £6.00 per person, and seven-hour main slope passes are £40 between 11am and 6pm. Expert tuition, lunch & refreshments, plus exciting activities within Xscape such as indoor skydiving are also available.

2. Lee Valley VeloPark
Where? Lee Valley VeloPark, Stratford
When? All summer
After the hype of London 2012, the Lee Valley VeloPark is open to the public. The indoor velodrome was where Team GB triumphed at London 2012, winning medal after medal throughout the summer. The 250 metre track is the fastest in the world and everyone from beginners to elite will be able to ride it, following in the tracks of Olympic and Paralympic champions. You can choose from cycling the track in the iconic velodrome, racing on the road circuit, tackling the mountain bike trails or jumping on the re-modelled Olympic BMX track. Get your helmet on and get biking down to Lee Valley to celebrate!

Where else would you go to celebrate that graduation? The Shard is the new iconic buildin in London and they have even started their own silent disco.

The Shard, with unparalleled, panoramic views offers graduates a unique perspective on the capital.
