9 Best Activities In Epsom
Hobbledown is the name most parents here reach for first, and it is one of the few Epsom listings flagged for both indoor and outdoor space, which is why it survives a changeable forecast.
Nine attractions are listed in Epsom, six with something indoors and four with something outside. The town leans towards places you book for a couple of hours, not a whole day, which suits school holidays better than a long weekend.

Epsom works best as an afternoon plan: one main stop, one small one, home before the meltdown. Two of the racecourse listings are events rather than permanent fixtures, so confirm they are running before you build a day around them.
Visiting Epsom with kids: FAQs
What is on at the racecourse for families?
We hold two racecourse listings: Epsom Downs Racecourse - The Derby Family Festival and Epsom On Ice At Epsom Downs Racecourse. Both are event-based rather than year-round, so confirm with the venue before you travel. When they are running they are the biggest family draw the town has, and worth timing a visit around.
Where do we take a four-year-old on a wet afternoon?
Rascals Softplay is the indoor play listing and the straightforward answer. Happy Glaze Ceramics suits a child who will sit and paint for half an hour. ODEON Epsom is the reliable last resort when patience has run out. Hobbledown also carries an indoor flag, so it is not automatically off the table when it rains.
Is there anything for children who have outgrown soft play?
Jungle Island Adventure Golf is outdoors and works for the age that finds ball pits beneath them. The Horton Epsom is an indoor activity-centre listing. Older children often do better at the seasonal racecourse events than at anything permanent in the town, so keep an eye on what is coming up.
How many family attractions are there in Epsom?
Nine are listed on our Surrey pages, which is modest for a town of this size. Six have indoor space and four have outdoor space, with some counted in both. That mix means you can usually salvage a plan when the weather changes, but it also means repeat visits come round quickly with children who remember everything.
