When the weather turns
Indoor and rainy-day family attractions
Rain is not a cancelled day. It is an aquarium, a science museum, an indoor waterpark or a studio tour. The trick is to pick something that was going to be good anyway, not a warehouse of ball pits you will regret.
Always-on indoor hits
Natural History Museum, Science Museum, National Space Centre, The Deep, SEA LIFE, Eureka!, Glasgow Science Centre, Thinktank, Cadbury World, KidZania, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and Warner Bros. Studio Tour all shrug at the forecast.
Warm water
Sandcastle Waterpark, Waterworld Stoke and Coral Reef Bracknell turn a grey Saturday into a tropical one. Book the first session — echoey pools fill up fast.
Half indoor, half coat
Eden Project biomes, Kew glasshouses and IWM Duxford hangars give you cover with a blast of air between halls. Pack layers.
