11 Best Activities In Broadstairs
Three bays headline Broadstairs: Botany Bay, Joss Bay and Kingsgate Bay, all listed under beaches and all obviously at the mercy of the sky. The good news for anyone booking a weekend in advance is that the town keeps five indoor listings in reserve.
When sand is out of the question, Revolution Climbing Centre and the Revolution Skatepark put the energy somewhere useful, and Elev8 Broadstairs adds trampolines. On brighter days, Lillyputt Mini Golf and the Broadstairs Spy Mission Treasure Trail stretch a beach visit into a full day out.

Eleven listings, six of them open-air, give Broadstairs a genuine two-season shape: bays and mini golf while the sun holds, climbing walls and trampolines the moment it does not.
Visiting Broadstairs with kids: FAQs
Which Broadstairs beach should we pick for a family day?
The town lists three: Botany Bay, Joss Bay and Kingsgate Bay, rated 4.6, 4.6 and 4.5 by visitors respectively. There is little to separate them on paper, so choose by what else you want nearby — all three are wholly outdoor listings, so hold an indoor fallback in mind whichever you pick.
What do families do here when the weather breaks?
Head for the indoor five. Revolution Climbing Centre is the top-rated of them at 4.8, the Revolution Skatepark sits alongside it for older kids on wheels, and Elev8 Broadstairs covers trampolining. Between them they absorb most of a wet afternoon without anyone staring out at the drizzle.
Is there anything in Broadstairs beyond buckets and spades?
Yes — the Broadstairs Spy Mission Treasure Trail turns the town itself into a self-solved puzzle walk, and Lillyputt Mini Golf gives younger children a competitive hour outdoors. Add the climbing and skate options under cover and the town holds up even for a family that never touches the sand.
