9 Best Activities In Hemel Hempstead
Hemel Hempstead takes sport seriously. An indoor ski slope, a driving experience and a multi-activity centre all appear on a list of nine, and eight of those nine have indoor space. This is a town built for the months when nobody wants to stand in a field.
The Snow Centre is the headline. Drift Limits and The XC cover the rest of the adrenaline. Laser Quest Hemel Hempstead and DJ's Play Park handle the younger end.

Very little here depends on the sky, which makes the town a good half-term standby for Hertfordshire families. The trade-off is that only two listings have outdoor space, so a summer day out needs a different plan entirely.
Visiting Hemel Hempstead with kids: FAQs
Which attractions suit a sporty ten-year-old?
The Snow Centre is the obvious answer, and The XC covers climbing and similar indoor activity. Drift Limits carries indoor and outdoor space for children old enough to take it seriously and follow an instructor. Mulligans Hemel Hempstead is the lighter option when you want competition without anyone needing a lesson first.
Is there anything for pre-schoolers?
DJ's Play Park is the indoor play listing and the right size for that age group. Laser Quest Hemel Hempstead is aimed higher up the age range, so leave it a few years yet. Cineworld Hemel Hempstead works for a first cinema trip. Beyond those the list skews towards children who can take direction from a coach.
What if we want to be outside?
Only two of the nine listings have outdoor space, and that is the weak spot in the town's offering. Drift Limits is the one from our top listings with an outdoor side, and Sportspace Hemel Hempstead covers swimming. For a proper day in the open you will be looking at the wider Hertfordshire pages rather than the town itself.
