6 Best Activities In Crewe

6 family-friendly attractions in Crewe, Cheshire

Fourth wet weekend running, and the living room has been worn out. This is the question Crewe answers better than any other. Every one of its six entries works under a roof and only two have anything outside, and three of them are separate indoor play centres — Playworld, Good Time Charlies and Funsters Crewe — which very few towns can claim.

Being a wet-weather town is nothing to apologise for. On a fine day most families drive elsewhere; on a bad one, three play centres and a cinema on the same short list stop the day getting any worse than it already is.

Visiting Crewe with kids: FAQs

Which indoor play centre in Crewe should we choose?

Three appear, and they are not interchangeable. Playworld holds the best rating of the trio and has open-air space as well. Good Time Charlies sits next on ratings. Funsters Crewe is the third. Age bands, session lengths and rules about socks all differ, so with a toddler and a nine-year-old in tow it is worth confirming which one takes both before you commit the afternoon.

Is there anything to do outdoors in Crewe?

Two entries only, so this is not what the town is for. Oakhanger Riding and Pony Club Centre offers riding and is logged as having space under a roof too, while Playworld keeps outdoor ground beside its frames. When the sun does appear, most families here head out into the wider Cheshire countryside rather than staying put and hoping.

What can we do in Crewe on a rainy day with kids?

Practically the whole list works in the rain, which is precisely its value. ODEON Crewe takes the afternoon when nobody wants to move. Brocklebank Brewers Fayre is a family pub entry with play attached. The three dedicated play centres handle the rest. That is enough variety to get through a wet weekend without walking into the same room twice.
