8 Best Activities In Abingdon

Two listings cover it. Millets Farm Centre is the farm itself, listed as outdoors, and Millets Farm Falconry is the birds of prey side, also outdoors. Together they make a decent half day for children who like animals, though both want reasonable weather to be any fun at all. Check what is running on the day before you go, since farm attractions change what they offer through the year.

Two options, and they are very different propositions. Abbey Meadow Open Air Swimming Pool is outdoors and therefore entirely at the mercy of the weather, so check it is open before you drive over. White Horse Leisure & Tennis Centre is the year-round alternative, with water under a roof as well as outside. With small children the indoor option is usually the less stressful of the two by some margin.

The Abingdon Treasure Trail is a self-guided walking trail, which is the oldest trick in the book for getting children round a town without a running commentary of complaint. You are on foot the whole way, so choose a dry morning. It suits an age that can read clues, roughly seven upwards, though a younger sibling will tag along happily. Earth Trust is the alternative if you want the walk without the puzzle.

Three entries offer any shelter and that is the lot, so it is better to know before you set out. Pendon Indoor Model Village and Railways is the best of them and holds children far longer than a model village has any right to. Snakes & Ladders Abingdon is indoor play for the younger end. Past those two, a wet day here means swimming or driving.
