9 Best Activities In Farnham
Only two of the nine Farnham listings are indoor, so this is a town to plan around the sky. On a dry day the choice is genuinely good: Go Ape Alice Holt and Alice Holt Forest for climbing and running, Birdworld for animals, Junglemania Adventure Golf for the competitive ones, North Downs Way National Trail when walking is the whole point. Once the weather turns, Rural Life Centre covers indoors and out and takes some of the pressure off. One of the nine carries no entry charge at all.

A strong list in the right conditions and a thin one in the wrong ones, so watch the forecast and keep the plan provisional until the morning itself. Book ahead where a venue takes bookings, particularly for the activity listings.
Visiting Farnham with kids: FAQs
What happens if the forecast is bad?
You are down to two indoor listings, one of them Rural Life Centre, so a full wet day here needs some flexibility. The practical answer is to reverse the plan and do the indoor visit first, holding an outdoor listing back in case the afternoon clears. Decent waterproofs also change the maths at somewhere like Alice Holt Forest.
Which listings suit a family that simply wants a walk?
North Downs Way National Trail and Alice Holt Forest are the two straightforward walking options, while The Farnham Mystery Treasure Trail gives a walk a purpose that children will accept without arguing. All three are outdoor. None asks for much planning beyond boots and a flask, which is usually the entire appeal.
What is here for a child who wants a proper challenge?
Go Ape Alice Holt is the obvious one, with height and harnesses involved, and Wolf Cub Challenge is the other activity-led listing. Both are outdoor. Minimum heights and ages apply at this sort of venue, so check the detail before building a day around it, because disappointment at the gate is hard to recover from.
