Rainy Day Activities in Kendal

Two of Kendal's five indoor entries are climbing walls. Lakeland Climbing Centre and KendalWall Indoor Climbing Centre both sit at 4.7, which tells you something about the town and something about the list: it is short, and it has a specialism. The other three go their own way, with Pandemonium Pots rated 5, Lakeland Maze Farm Park at 4.6 and Sizergh Castle - National Trust at 4.5.

A short list with a specialism is easy to plan around. If climbing suits your children you have two strong options and three spares; if it does not, you have three and should choose carefully.

Indoor activities in Kendal: FAQs

Do we need to choose between the two Kendal climbing centres?

Not on rating, since Lakeland Climbing Centre and KendalWall Indoor Climbing Centre both sit at 4.7. They are filed under different categories here, one as sport and one as adventure, which hints at a difference in how each is set up. Walls vary in the ages they take, the sessions they run and how much instruction comes with a first visit, so the deciding factor is what your child needs on day one. Ring whichever you fancy and ask before you book.

Where do you take a child in Kendal who has no interest in climbing?

Pandemonium Pots carries a 5 rating and is a paint-and-make session, which is about as far from a climbing wall as an indoor afternoon gets. Lakeland Maze Farm Park at 4.6 and Sizergh Castle - National Trust at 4.5 are marked for outdoor space as well, so both shift with the weather. Three is not many, but no two of them resemble each other, and that beats a longer run of near-identical entries.

Which Kendal entries still work when it rains all day?

The two climbing centres and Pandemonium Pots are recorded as indoor only, so they are the reliable three. The farm park and the castle have both boxes ticked, so part of a visit is under a roof; how much varies between the two. When you have only five to work with, the fact that three are fully weatherproof is the most useful line on this page.
