20 Best Sports & Activity Venues In West Sussex

Choose by what surrounds them, because the golf itself will not differ much. Globetrotters Crazy Golf at Tilgate Park sits inside a large park, so a round can be the start of an afternoon rather than the whole of it. Waterloo Square Crazy Golf is a seafront setting and suits being fitted around a beach day. Jungle Paradise Adventure Golf is the themed option and tends to appeal more strongly to younger children. All three are outdoor listings, so the forecast rules on all of them equally.

Karting, mostly. TeamSport Indoor Karting Crawley is indoors and unaffected, and Just Race Driving Simulators Worthing does the same thing with simulators instead of engines, which suits children too small for a real kart. Both operate height or age limits, and those limits are the thing to check first rather than availability. Ten of the twenty listings have indoor space, so the county is not short of cover, but the best-rated half of the list is outside.

Adventure golf, without hesitation. It rewards luck as much as skill, a round can be played badly and still be fun, and nobody is picked last. Q Leisure is the other route in for a child who prefers activity without competition. If your child would rather run than compete at all, Horsham Park and Hotham Park give them the space to do it and cost nobody an afternoon of persuasion.
