Indoor Activities in Bodmin

It can, but rarely on its own terms. What works is giving the child a job — counting something, finding something, deciding which room they would sleep in — so they are looking for a reason rather than being walked through. Lanhydrock and Pencarrow House and Gardens both carry outdoor flags too, so there is somewhere to release the pressure when concentration runs out.

Bodmin Jail, Discovering42, Bodmin Leisure Centre and Super Tramp Bodmin are logged indoors and nowhere else, so nothing about them turns on the weather. The other three straddle both lists, which serves a shifting forecast better than a committed downpour. Match the entry to the sky rather than to the star rating and the choice gets much easier.

Bodmin and Wenford Railway appears on both the indoor and outdoor lists, so the covered part is likely to be only a portion of the visit. It is the entry to check most carefully in poor weather. It is also the one that tends to land best with children who have already been dragged round two houses, because it moves and they do not have to.

Historic properties frequently run timed entry, and trampoline parks almost always want a booked session and a form signed for each child. Both are better dealt with at home than at a counter with a queue behind you. It is also worth asking which rooms or areas are open on your chosen date, since that changes more often than families expect.
