10 Best Activities In Eastleigh
Eastleigh's list reads like a town that expects rain: seven of its ten family venues sit indoors, from soft play at Partyman World Eastleigh and Kids2day Indoor Soft Play Centre to the Ready player one arcade and karting at TeamSport Indoor Karting Southampton.
The outdoor short-list is small but genuinely distinctive. Hensting Alpaca Walking Experience puts a lead in your child's hand, the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway runs miniature trains, and Lakeside Country Park supplies the plain pleasure of open space and a playground.

Seven indoor venues mean Eastleigh never really has a rained-off day; the trick is the reverse — keeping the alpacas, the miniature railway and the country park for whenever the sun actually appears.
Visiting Eastleigh with kids: FAQs
What is there for teenagers in Eastleigh?
The indoor column skews their way: TeamSport Indoor Karting Southampton is the headline option, the Ready player one arcade covers a couple of competitive hours, and Vue Eastleigh handles the classic cinema fallback. All three are rated 4.2 or above by visitors in our listings.
What makes Eastleigh worth a sunny-day visit?
Three things, and all outdoors: the Hensting Alpaca Walking Experience, which is exactly what it sounds like; the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway, rated 4.6 and a dependable hit with younger children; and Lakeside Country Park, the town's green space listing at 4.5. Save all three for the same clear day.
Which Eastleigh soft play should we choose?
There are two dedicated venues: Partyman World Eastleigh at 4.4 and Kids2day Indoor Soft Play Centre at 4.3. On ratings there is little in it, so decide on the day by convenience — both are fully indoor listings, so either one solves the classic wet-Tuesday problem equally well.
