6 Best Activities In Oakham

Not really, and pretending otherwise would waste your Saturday. Mini Monsters Softplay is the only entry on the Oakham list without outdoor dependence, so a washout leaves you with one option and a long lunch. If rain is forecast for the whole day, the sensible move is to look at what else is listed across Rutland rather than to press on regardless.

Rutland Farm Park is the gentler of the outdoor options and the sort of place a four-year-old can cover without being carried the last half of it. Mini Monsters Softplay covers the indoor half of the day. Rutland Water Nature Reserve works for small children too, provided you accept that you will see one bird and eleven puddles rather than the route you planned.

Aqua Park Rutland is the obvious one, an outdoor water course of the kind that suits confident swimmers who want to fall in repeatedly. Check age and height requirements with the operator before you build a day around it. Oakham Spy Mission Treasure Trail slows things down instead: a self-guided walk with puzzles, which keeps an older child busy while everyone else ambles.
