Kids with unlimited batteries? Indoor playgrounds, trampoline parks, farms and theme parks: the full list for parents who need them worn out.
The hardest part of a weekend with kids is burning off their energy. Tired children sleep and eat better, so we have sorted the options by weather and age group.
Rainy Day Saviours: Indoor Playgrounds & Trampolines
Indoor playgrounds are the bad-weather lifesaver: ball pits, slides, climbing frames and trampolines, all air-conditioned and netted. The kids run wild while parents finally sit down. Entry is usually per child, sometimes with a time limit.
