9 Best Activities In Hayle

9 family-friendly attractions in Hayle, Cornwall

For the under-sevens this is farm and animal country. Trevaskis Farm, Splattenridden Farm and Paradise Park and JungleBarn cover most of what a small child wants from a day out, and all three are outdoor listings. Six outdoor against three indoor, out of nine, so the forecast matters more here than it would inland. One listing is recorded as free to visit, which is handy on a day when the rest of the trip has already asked enough of you.

In good weather this is a strong little list. In bad weather it thins out fast, so keep The Clay Corner Pottery Painting or Country Skittles ready as the substitute. Confirm admission and opening arrangements with each venue before setting out.

Visiting Hayle with kids: FAQs

What is there for a small child on a dry day?

The farms do most of the heavy lifting. Trevaskis Farm and Splattenridden Farm are both children's farm listings, and Paradise Park and JungleBarn adds birds and a play barn to the same sort of trip. Godrevy Head is the coastal alternative for when you would rather be on a beach than behind a gate.

It is forecast to rain. What is left?

Three of the nine listings are indoor, and two of them appear above: The Clay Corner Pottery Painting and Country Skittles. Pottery painting is the dependable one with mixed ages, because it lasts as long as you want it to last. Beyond those, a properly wet day may be better spent heading inland.

Where can older children get some speed?

Coast 2 Coast Karting is the listing for that, and it is outdoor, so check the conditions and the venue before you commit to it. Hayle Swimming Pool is recorded as an outdoor pool and offers a different sort of energy release. The farms are more about pace than adrenaline, which suits some older children and not others.
