9 Best Activities In Matlock Bath
Up is the theme. The Heights of Abraham climbs, Gulliver's Kingdom is built on a slope, and Temple Mine heads the other way entirely, an indoor listing that goes underground. Nine attractions in a small place, and the range is wider than that number suggests: a theme park, an aquarium, a mine and two trails between them. Six take you indoors, which is more shelter than a hillside town usually manages.

Decide first whether you want one large attraction or three small ones, because the two plans do not sit together comfortably in a single day. Matlock Bath Aquarium is the easiest thing to add at short notice. Check admission and timings with each venue.
Visiting Matlock Bath with kids: FAQs
Which of these suit a five-year-old?
Gulliver's Kingdom is the theme park on the list and is pitched at younger children rather than thrill-seekers. Matlock Bath Aquarium holds attention for a short visit, and Tree Top Tumble is recorded as indoor play. The Heights of Abraham can work at that age too, though it is an outdoor day and wants the right weather.
What is there for a child who enjoys being slightly frightened?
Temple Mine goes underground, which is exactly the sort of thing that thrills some children and unsettles others. You will already know which of those you have. Matlock Bath Treasure Trail and Curious About The Matlocks are gentler alternatives that still give the day a story, and Nerf Zone Matlock Bath covers the ones who only want to charge about.
How much of a day here depends on the weather?
Roughly half of it. Five of the nine listings are outdoor, including both trails and The Heights of Abraham, so a wet forecast trims the choice noticeably. Gulliver's Kingdom has indoor and outdoor parts recorded against it, while Temple Mine, Matlock Bath Aquarium and Nerf Zone Matlock Bath are all under cover.
