Indoor Activities in Stafford

Because a site with a barn, a yard and a paddock qualifies as indoor on the strength of the barn. That is a fair record and it is no help at all when rain has set in for the day. Stafford has a lot of entries in exactly that shape, so a family reading fourteen and picturing fourteen dry afternoons will be let down by several of them. Ask what share of each site is actually under cover.

Aim at the entries where the building is the attraction. Pretty Pots Ceramics puts everybody at a table with a job in front of them, and The Play Shed answers the younger end without complication. Wacky Warehouse The Barley Mow is the other dependable one for the day every grander idea has been vetoed. None of the three cares what the sky is doing.

That is when the ten with both flags earn their keep. Hockerhill Adventure Playbarn and Rodbaston Visitor Centre Animal Zone both let a family drift between inside and outside as the morning turns, which beats committing to either. It also suits a group that cannot agree, since the ones wanting fresh air and the ones who do not can take turns without anybody having to leave.

Stafford Castle is the entry that works best once a child is past soft play, though it is a site with open ground as well as buildings, so dress for both. Beyond that this page leans young, which is a real limitation rather than an oversight. If your children are into double figures, widen the search past the town before you settle on anything.
