19 family-friendly attractions in Salisbury, Wiltshire

Nineteen attractions, and barely two alike — which is what makes Salisbury useful. Salisbury Escape Rooms holds a perfect five, Boscombe Down Aviation Collection sits at 4.8 for children who want cockpits rather than cabinets, and Splash of Colour The Pottery Painting Cafe covers the grey afternoon when everybody has had their fill of standing about. Outside, Old Wardour Castle and Salisbury Cathedral each record indoor and outdoor space, River Bourne Community Farm works for the youngest, and Langford Lakes Nature Reserve is a quiet walk with birds at the end of it.

Thirteen of the nineteen record indoor space, so bad weather reorders a Salisbury day instead of writing it off. Keep The Salisbury Mystery Treasure Trail for a dry morning when the children fancy giving the directions themselves.
