30 Best Sports & Activity Venues In Surrey

30 family-friendly sports & activity venues in Surrey, ranked by rating

Surrey's thirty entries span a range no single label can carry. At one end sits Minninnooka Polo Day, a booked, specialist, adults-arranging-it sort of occasion. At the other, KickX Football is a children's session of the kind a parent signs up to and then forgets about. Mercedes Benz World carries free entry in our records and is really a visitor attraction with driving attached to it. Filing all three under one heading is technically correct and practically useless, because the label does no sorting on your behalf.

Top sports & activity venues in Surrey

The dependable middle of this list is the golf and the skating. Junglemania Adventure Golf and River Thames Mini Golf both take a mixed-age group in their stride, and Skaterham records covered as well as open space, making it one of the few here a forecast cannot cancel. GO Paintball London and Shetland Pony Club are the specialists: outstanding for the right child, wasted on the wrong one.

Sports & Activity Venues in Surrey: FAQs

What separates a polo day from everything else here?

Scale and commitment. Minninnooka Polo Day is an occasion arranged well in advance for a group, not something a family drops into on a Sunday morning. KickX Football sits at the other extreme, a regular children's session with no ceremony attached. Both carry the same tag, which is precisely why the number thirty tells you nothing until you have read the entries underneath it.

Is Mercedes Benz World a sports venue?

Not in the ordinary sense. Mercedes Benz World shows free entry in our data and holds covered and open space alike, and most families treat it as somewhere to look at cars rather than somewhere to play a sport. That makes it a strong wet-day answer and a weak one if your child wanted to be running about. The heading has stretched to fit it.

What suits a child who dislikes team games?

Skaterham lets them progress at their own rate with nobody relying on them. Junglemania Adventure Golf and River Thames Mini Golf are competitive only if you choose to make them so. Shetland Pony Club puts a child beside an animal instead of alongside a team. All four sidestep the thing that puts children off sport, which is being watched by people who need them to be good at it.
