10 Best Activities In Croydon
Every one of the eight Croydon listings on this site is indoor. No park, no farm, nothing that needs a dry hour.
Treat that as a limitation if you like, but during a wet half-term with two bored children it reads more like an advantage. CroyWall Climbing Centre and Oxygen Activeplay Croydon are the energy-burning end. Exciting Escapes Croydon and si5 spy missions croydon ask for a bit of thinking. Kidspace Croydon is aimed at the younger ones, and Tenpin Croydon is the fallback that never entirely disappoints anybody.

This is a list to reach for when the weather has ruined the original plan. Pick by age and by noise tolerance rather than by category, and check booking arrangements with the venue before you travel.
Visiting Croydon with kids: FAQs
Is there anything outdoors on this list?
Not at present. All eight of our Croydon listings are recorded as indoor, so if open space is what you are after you will need to look at neighbouring parts of the capital. The flip side is that a poor forecast changes nothing here at all, which is not something you can say about most towns.
What suits pre-schoolers rather than older children?
Kidspace Croydon is the one built with smaller children in mind. Oxygen Activeplay Croydon is a trampoline park, so ask them which sessions are set aside for younger jumpers before you commit. Vue Croydon Purley Way works for a first cinema trip. The escape rooms and spy missions are better saved for a few years later.
We have a group of older children to entertain. What works?
Exciting Escapes Croydon and si5 spy missions croydon both hand a group a shared problem to solve, which beats handing them a screen. CroyWall Climbing Centre suits the ones with energy to spend, and Tenpin Croydon is the easiest thing to organise for a larger number. Group sizes and age limits vary, so speak to the venue first.
