Superbowl

A rainy day isn’t an unusual occurrence in Wales, so with bowling alleys in Newport, Cardiff and Merthyr, Superbowl is a brilliant idea if you’re looking for a fun indoor activity with the kids.

Watch a film at the cinema

Perhaps an obvious suggestion but who doesn’t like the cinema, right? With a range of kids films currently screening, it’ll be a tossup between ‘The Boss Baby’ and ‘Monster Trucks’.

Bridgend Recreation Centre

Hop on the water bus to Penarth

Pop to Penarth for a day out and explore what the small town has to offer, including some amazing views off the pier. The water buses run regularly from Bute Park and Cardiff Bay, or if it’s a particularly sunny day you could walk the barrage (there are even go karts to whizz around on the way).

Ride rapids at Cardiff International White Water Centre

Whilst at the Bay why not try see if you can handle the waves? Cardiff’s International White Water Centre has lots of half-term activities for kids including family rafting, body boarding, and if you’re not a fan of the water… try out the air trail!
