This is all part of a plan to create a canal quarter in the capital city of Wales. It is hoped the completed canal quarter tourist attraction will breathe new life into this area of the city attracting new businesses including shops, hotels, restaurants and more visitors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The area has struggled since the opening of the St David\u2019s Dewi Sant shopping centre, which it was felt took visitors away from other areas in Cardiff&#8217;s city centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Viewing Platforms and Outdoor Performance Area<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Already the Cardiff Canal Quarter development has seen viewing platforms and outdoor seating installed. They provide a pleasant shopping experience and place to visit for families in Cardiff\u2019s vibrant city centre. Also, an amphitheatre style outdoor live performance area is set to be part of the new canal attraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project has been made possible with funding from the City Deal, Welsh Government and Cardiff Council.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let&#8217;s forget the canals and waterways of Venice and Amsterdam, Cardiff\u2019s Canal Quarter is the new place to be!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"dh-space\" style=\"--dh-space:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"dh-row\"><div class=\"dh-col\"><div class=\"dowtk-blog-image dh-image\"><picture><img width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit.jpg\" class=\"attachment-blog-16-9 size-blog-16-9\" alt=\"three kids in a ball pit\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-185x123.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-740x494.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/kids-in-a-ball-pit-72x48.jpg 72w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"dh-text\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Would you like to keep up to date on all the latest days out and things to do for families across the UK?
