Rainy day activities in North West

A family guide to North West

Keep a rainy day in North West feeling like an adventure with indoor places for families.

When the forecast turns grey in the North West, Apple Jacks Adventure Farm is the place to lean on. The play list is long: huge tunnel slides, giant indoor inflatable play, jumping pillows, an inflatable drop slide, roller skating and racing zip lines. Add a ball blast, a penalty shoot out and a foam party, and children can burn off a wet afternoon. Between rides there is farmhouse food, snacks and drinks, plus ice cream. If the rain eases, the same site offers a sunflower trail, a sunflower maze, a giant fence maze, archery, an outdoor sand pit, an adventure playground, fair rides and an adventure tractor hayride. Wetland days are another option: WWT Martin Mere runs a canoe safari and a boat tour. Depot Mayfield hosts live skate competitions and beginner skate sessions.
