9 Best Activities In Slough

9 family-friendly attractions in Slough, Berkshire

Energy disposal is Slough's speciality. Two trampoline parks — Jump In Trampoline Parks Slough and Jump Giants West London — plus Slough Ice Arena, the treetop courses of Go Ape Black Park and the soft-play sprawl of Salt Hill Activity Centre make this a strong town for children who need wearing out. Nine places are listed here, six of them under cover, which keeps the wearing-out viable in any month you like.

The change-of-pace options are better than you'd guess: Kris Cruisers puts the family on the water, Snowball Farm Equestrian Centre puts them on horseback, and Globe Trotters Adventure Golf settles sibling rivalries over a putter.

Visiting Slough with kids: FAQs

Slough has two trampoline parks — which one should we book?

On ratings alone, Jump In Trampoline Parks Slough leads at 4.4 to the 3.8 of Jump Giants West London, and both are fully indoor. Having two in one town is quietly useful, though: sessions at these places sell out at peak times, so a second option down the road can rescue a birthday plan that the first venue's booking calendar has just ruined.

What's on offer for a child who hates organised bouncing?

Quite a lot, unusually. Snowball Farm Equestrian Centre rates 4.7 and covers the horse-obsessed, Kris Cruisers gets the family out on the water, and Globe Trotters Adventure Golf suits the methodical child who'd rather line up a putt than hurl themselves at foam. Go Ape Black Park adds climbing for those who like their adrenaline self-paced.

Does Slough still work as a day out in winter?

Yes — arguably better than in summer. Six of the nine listings are indoor venues, and the core rotation of Slough Ice Arena, both trampoline parks and Salt Hill Activity Centre is entirely weatherproof. The outdoor entries, the boats and the treetops among them, go into hibernation on your planning list until the sky sorts itself out.
