Summer is here – although it doesn’t feel like it!
Regardless of the weather, the kids are off and if you’ve exhausted the board games, crafting and baking and cabin fever is setting in, here are some of our favourite wet weather days out in Surrey.
Godstone Farm, Godstone, RH9 8LX. Tickets are from £7.
Surrey’s biggest soft play destination has opened at Godstone Farm; spanning 351.8 sq.mt, featuring 4 tiers and seven slides, with capacity for 200 children.
Whilst big on scale and fun, the new Playbarn at Godstone Farm has also been designed to pay homage to its unique farm setting – bringing many elements of the outside, inside. Colours, textures and patterns reflect the Surrey Hills, within which the 40 year old farm is located. The bespoke design was manufactured and installed by the UK’s leading manufacturer of soft play structures and as a result, it features an infinite number of routes, obstacles and climbing experiences to help kids stay active.
There has also been a lot of attention given to ensuring children and parents are well taken care of. There is a separate baby area and separate toddler area for smaller ones, and a new café serving fresh hot and cold drinks and meals. Plus, there is a specially accredited Changing Places toilet and passenger lift installed in the double storey playbarn to ensure all accessibility needs are met.
