Mini Days Out

☔ Rainy day ideas

Places with a roof over them, where a washout can’t wreck the weekend — soft play, science centres, climbing walls, cinemas and more. Places that are part indoor and part outdoor are in here too, so you always have somewhere to retreat to. It’s the list to reach for when the forecast turns and you still need somewhere to take the kids.

Rainy day questions

What can you do with kids on a rainy day?

Plenty stays fun in the wet: soft play centres, museums and science centres, indoor climbing, trampoline parks, swimming pools, cinemas and craft sessions all carry on whatever the forecast. Every place on this list has a roof, and you can filter by age, area and price to find one near you.

Where can I take a toddler when it's raining?

Soft play, play cafés and sensory sessions are the usual toddler-friendly picks, and many have space for a buggy and somewhere to change a nappy. Use the age filter to show only places that suit under-fives.

Are indoor places open in the school holidays?

Most indoor attractions open right through the holidays — often with longer hours — but times do change week to week. We show current opening hours on each venue's page and flag anywhere with seasonal closures.
