7 Best Activities In Grantham
No coast, no hills, no lake. Grantham builds its family days out of buildings, and the numbers say so plainly: six of the seven places on this list are roofed.
That still leaves room for one big day outside. Easton Walled Gardens gives children ground to cover and gates to disappear through, while Belvoir Castle offers the full castle-and-grounds version, indoor rooms included, for a day you plan rather than improvise. Otherwise it is bowling at Ancaster Leisure, and Fuzzy Eds Funhouse Grantham for the under-sevens on a wet afternoon.

Grantham rewards a plan rather than a wander. Choose one substantial outdoor day, keep an indoor option in the back pocket for the afternoon it turns, and telephone the smaller places first, because a locked door undoes an entire afternoon.
Visiting Grantham with kids: FAQs
How many places are there to take children in Grantham?
Seven, and the split matters more than the total: six offer indoor space, four have something open to the sky, and three do both. The sky rarely cancels a Grantham weekend outright. It decides which half of the list you end up using, and not much beyond that.
Ours are three and nine. Anywhere that suits both?
Fun Farm Grantham is the usual answer, since it has indoor and outdoor space and spreads wider than a straight soft-play room. If the older one wants something more demanding, Belton Pursuits Centre runs activity sessions pitched well above ball-pit level, though the youngest will then need a separate plan.
What counts as the big day out here?
Belvoir Castle. It is the one entry on this list with rooms, grounds and enough acreage to occupy a whole day instead of a couple of hours, and it copes with mixed weather because there is shelter as well as open space. Treat it as the day itself, not as one item among several.
Anywhere to swim?
Harpers at Grantham Meres is the pool on this list, and being indoors it acts as a winter standby rather than a summer treat. Pool timetables move about from one day to the next, so find out what is on before the bags go in the boot.
