Thinking ahead for some ideas to keep the kids entertained this February half term? Fear not, there’s plenty going on in Surrey and London, here are some of our indoor ideas if the weather takes a turn.

For the rainy days

Adventure

Chobham Adventure Farm

surrey half term activities indoors rainJust recently opened, this is a great place for little ones and older children to burn off steam in a safe environment. The indoor area has 2 play frames, one for under 2’s and another more challenging frame for children and adults. Look out for the vertical death drop slide, my little one took a shine to this slide, I could barely watch!

There is also an outdoor play area with a massive sandpit with slides and construction site, 2 bouncing pillows and a small and large frame with zipwires. In addition, they will be opening an animal farm section this year. There is also a restaurant which serves tasty homemade food – the pizza and cake get the thumbs up from me!

Where: Bagshot Road, Chobham, Surrey, GU24 8DB

Price: 6mths -2yrs £2.50, children (3yrs -18yrs) £6.50, Adults £4

Opening Hours: Open daily throughout the year from 10am to 5.30pm
