Newquay is a great place to visit as a family, with plenty of activities and attractions suitable for all ages. We’ve hand-picked some of the best things to do in Newquay which are suitable for children and adults alike:
Body Bounce
Perched upon the Barrowfields during the Summer months, Body Bounce is a collection of bouncy castles, inflatables and other fun & games.
Newquay Mystery Treasure Trail
A great way to explore Newquay whilst following the clues to find the ‘buried treasure’. Instead of a bucket and spade, this journey needs your thinking caps and an all-important trail PDF.
Newquay Zoo
Fun for all the family, Newquay Zoo is one of Cornwall’s leading visitor attractions. Meet reptiles, farm animals, penguins, lions, birds, and so much more. You can even take part in a penguin feeding experience or become a keeper for the day.
Trenance Gardens & Leisure Park
If you fancy a day away from the beach, Trenance Gardens & Leisure Park is the perfect alternative. Feed the ducks, take a pedal boat out over the lake, explore the luscious gardens, play some crazy golf, ride the miniature railway, and more!
DairyLand Farm World
Voted Farm Park of The Year and Cornwall Family Attraction of The Year, DairyLand is a great day out for all the family. Feed the farm animals, take a tractor ride through the farm, ride a pony, walk the nature trails, watch the cows being milked on the UK’s first orbital milking machine, get lost in a maize maze or have fun in the giant indoor play area.
Blue Reef Aquarium
Located right in the town centre, Blue Reef Aquarium is ideal for families and is home to 40 themed habitats. Taking you on a journey from the Cornish coasts to the exotic seas, you’ll come face to face with turtles, caiman, sharks, pufferfish and more.
Lappa Valley
Just a short drive away, Lappa Valley is a fun park with plenty of steam trains, nature trails, play areas, crazy golf and a canoeing lake. Open March – November.
