Outdoor Activities in Crawley

There is not much of one on this list, which is worth knowing while you are still at the kitchen table. Cherry Lane Adventure Playground and Caddies Crawley are the only two recording indoor space, and even there the sheltered part may be modest. For a genuinely wet day you are better served looking at an indoor list than trying to make this one work.

Go Ape Crawley is the one older children will actually want, since it feels like a real challenge rather than an activity arranged for their benefit. Age, height and weight rules apply and vary by course, so put the question to the site before building a day round it. Globetrotters Crazy Golf at Tilgate Park is the lower-key option for a group.

Tilgate Park Crawley stands a better chance than most because there is a second listed activity within it, so the day has two halves without a journey between them. Beyond that it depends on your children: some will occupy themselves in open space indefinitely and some will announce they are bored within the first stretch. Bring something to do as insurance either way.

Yes, and it is worth spotting before you plan. Some entries here run only at particular times of year or on particular dates rather than through the calendar, so what appears in a directory may not be running when you want it. Check with the site itself about what is on before you travel, especially for anything that reads like an event rather than a place.
