Bit further out but Adventure Wonderland (used to be Alice in Wonderland) is good. Just to the north of Bournmeouth but everytime we've been to Doreset it has been worth the drive.

Wareham forest is a great site!  one of our favourites

near the tank museum too, which in peak season do weekly displays when they fire the tanks......young boys would love it!

You must take them to the Tank Museum at Bovington. Check out their website to find out which days they are doing displays and have other things on like dressing up in WW2 costumes etc. as these do make it a bit more special for the kids and are good for photos too. Although it's practically on our doorstep we hadn't taken our kdis there until we had visitors stay with us last Easter who insisted on going. Didn't think my two would enjoy or - or me - but we all did.  

A couple of years earlier we went to Monkeyworld but althoguh it does a fab job in rescuing monkeys etc. the kids were quickly bored - one monkey looks much like the next - and only the big play area saved the day. But we felt it was a lot of money to pay to sit and watch the kids on the play structures!  On the other hand we could've spent longer than we did at the Tank Museum as we had to get back by a certain time.

There's a great water park (flumes,slides etc.) called Splashdown, near Poole/Bournemouth which the boys would probably enjoy too.   

durdle door is nice near wemouth or rowlands wait they are both friendly and got space hope you enjoy
