Rainy Day Activities in Chatham
Chatham's indoor five split unevenly by scale. The Historic Dockyard Chatham and Fort Amherst are sites you hand most of a day to, and each appears on the outdoor list as well. Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park Chatham, ODEON Chatham and Kent Police Museum are afternoons. Working out which shape of day you actually have, before you look at the list, stops you booking something that will not fit the time available.
Two big sites and three shorter ones is a straightforward list to plan against. Give the large ones the time they need or leave them for a day when you have it, because half a visit to either is a poor trade.
Indoor activities in Chatham: FAQs
Is two of these in one day realistic?
Two of the smaller three, yes. One of the large sites plus anything else, probably not, and attempting it usually means rushing the part everybody was looking forward to. Kent Police Museum and ODEON Chatham pair reasonably well. The Historic Dockyard Chatham deserves to be the whole plan rather than half of one.
What if the children are not interested in ships?
Then the two heritage sites are a harder sell, and it is better to admit that at home than to spend the day negotiating. Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park Chatham is the obvious alternative, requiring nothing from a child but energy. Kent Police Museum is the other angle on local history, and a small subject sometimes lands where a large one does not.
It is raining hard and we cannot be outside at all. Which entries?
The three logged indoors and nowhere else: Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park Chatham, ODEON Chatham and Kent Police Museum. The other two straddle both lists, so on a soaking day a real part of the visit could be in the open. Not a reason to rule them out, but a reason to ask what has a roof over it before you commit.
What is worth checking in advance?
Timed entry at the larger sites, which is common wherever numbers need managing, and whether anything on site is shut on your date. For the activity park, check age and height rules and what has to be on their feet, since being turned away over a technicality with a car full of children is a miserable way to begin a day.
