8 Best Activities In Kettering
Wicksteed Park is the name families here say first, and Kettering's other seven listings arrange themselves around it. Seven of the eight have indoor space, which is a useful shape for a town where a plan has to survive the weather. Kids Play Kettering covers the under-fives, New York Thunderbowl and Laser Zap Attack pick up the age that finds soft play beneath them, and the two West Lodge sites — West Lodge Farm Park and West Lodge Rural Centre — put animals and wellies into the same afternoon.

Eight places, four of them opening onto grass or yard rather than carpet. Fix one anchor for the morning, leave the indoor half of the list unspent, and the afternoon looks after itself whatever the sky does.
Visiting Kettering with kids: FAQs
Where should we start with a three-year-old?
Two entries are built for that age. Kids Play Kettering is an indoor play centre, so it holds up on a wet morning and asks for nothing more than a pair of socks. West Lodge Rural Centre is listed as both indoor and outdoor, which usually means a small child can meet animals and still have somewhere dry to sit down with lunch. Between them you have a morning that does not hang on the forecast.
Kettering with a teenager — is there anything?
New York Thunderbowl and Laser Zap Attack are the two that survive contact with a teenager: both indoors, both competitive, and competition is the part that matters at that age. ODEON Kettering sits on the list as an indoor option as well. None of the three fills a whole day on its own, so treat them as the second half of one rather than the entire plan.
How much of the Kettering list is under cover?
Seven of the eight keep at least part of a visit under cover. That is the single most useful thing to know about the town if you are picking somewhere in February. Four entries also have outdoor space and several of those are counted in both columns, so a day that begins outside can move under a roof without you having to change venue or restart the argument about where to go next.
