6 Best Activities In Harrow

6 family-friendly attractions in Harrow, Greater London

Three of the six things we list in Harrow involve hitting a small ball, which is either coincidence or local speciality. It does make the day simple to build. Jurassic Island Adventure Golf is the outdoor version, Putt & Play Harrow and BigShots Golf UK are the versions that do not care what the sky is doing. Around that, Headstone Manor and Museum gives the afternoon somewhere quieter to land.

Harrow suits a two-stop day with a clear change of gear in the middle: something active, then something slow. Five of the six listings have indoor space, so that change of gear does not have to mean going home.

Visiting Harrow with kids: FAQs

What works when the children are different ages?

Adventure golf, almost always. Jurassic Island Adventure Golf puts a six-year-old and a twelve-year-old on roughly level terms, which very little else manages. Putt & Play Harrow does the same job indoors. If the ages are further apart than that, splitting the group for an hour and meeting afterwards usually beats a compromise nobody enjoys.

Where do we take a child who wants to climb?

HarroWall Indoor Climbing Centre is the listing for that, indoors and demanding enough to be the point of the trip rather than the padding. Climbing centres vary a great deal in what they allow at what age and whether sessions need booking ahead, so speak to them directly before you build a day around it.

Is there anywhere aimed at under-fives?

Jungle Monkeyz is the soft play option and the most obvious fit for that age. Headstone Manor and Museum is worth considering too, less for the museum itself than for the outdoor space recorded alongside it, which gives very young children somewhere to be after a short indoor visit that has run its course.

What survives a washout?

Most of the list. Five of the six Harrow listings record indoor space, and the two golf options that work under a roof mean you are not forced straight into soft play. A wet day here costs you Jurassic Island Adventure Golf and not much else, which is a better position than most towns are in.
