Find Family Days Out In Swindon

Families will be spoilt for choice with all the things to do in Swindon.

A firm favourite with children and parents alike has to be Oasis Leisure Centre. Home to an amazing indoor waterpark, set at a deliciously tropical climate so even little ones don’t get cold running in and out of the water there are slides and rides for all ages. Older children can choose from one of three slides, as well as swim to the deep end when the wave machine comes on, remembering to stay in for when the spray hits!

Younger children have their own pool with a pirate ship! They can slide down into the shallow water below, press buttons, tip water and generally enjoy themselves! Back in the foyer there’s a café and vending machines for treats to eat in the car on the way to your next destination.

Keeping with the active theme on this Swindon family day out, get harnessed up for a taster session at Rockstar Climbing. Suitable for children aged 5 and above, instructors are on hand to help you get the top of the climbing wall!

The nearby Jungle Parc is a great place for adventurers of all sizes! With two courses for those age 4+ and for adults and teens the whole family can get involved with clambering over monkey bridges, flying on zip lines and climbing cargo nets.

Let’s take it down a notch now and get creative at Eastcott Studios where you can make and decorate your own pottery, create a unique gift for a loved one or just enjoy getting your hands dirty!
