7 Best Activities In Altrincham
The Runway Visitor Park breaks the pattern in Altrincham, and it is the more interesting entry for doing so: six of the seven places we hold here are indoor, and it is one of only two with outdoor space. The other is Dunham Massey Hall, counted in both columns. What remains is a tight indoor set — Atlantic Bowl, Planet Ice Altrincham, Little World for Scholars and Altrincham Garden Centre Soft Play — and together they earn Altrincham a place on the January shortlist.

A rainy-day town in the useful sense. Six entries with a roof and just two that put you outside, so in Altrincham the question is seldom whether to go out, only which roof to pick.
Visiting Altrincham with kids: FAQs
We have a five-year-old and a ten-year-old. Anywhere that suits both?
Dunham Massey Hall stretches furthest across ages: it holds space in both columns, so one child can potter under a roof while the other crosses a field. Failing that, Atlantic Bowl works because bowling flatters the younger child and still gives the older one something to win, and Planet Ice Altrincham does a similar job if both are steady on their feet.
Somewhere to burn off energy when it is pouring?
This is the town's strength. Planet Ice Altrincham gets a whole afternoon out of a pair of skates, Little World for Scholars and Altrincham Garden Centre Soft Play are indoors and pitched at the younger end. Vue Altrincham covers the point in the day when everyone has run out of energy rather than needing to spend it.
Is there anything to do outdoors around Altrincham?
Two entries, and they are different animals. The Runway Visitor Park is filed as outdoor only, so it wants a dry day and coats you can zip up. Dunham Massey Hall has space in both columns, so an uncertain forecast troubles it rather less. Beyond those two, the Altrincham list is firmly under cover.
