Things to do with kids in Guildford

A family guide to Guildford

Guildford is unusually well supplied with the kind of places that absorb energetic children for a couple of hours, which makes it a practical choice when the weather is uncooperative or the school holidays are long. AirHop Guildford is a trampoline park with slides, climbing, an activity zone and laser tag, and it runs Toddler Takeover and SEN sessions as well as open jump, so there is usually a slot that fits. Ninja Warrior UK offers an indoor obstacle challenge, and MeetspaceVR covers the virtual reality end. For families with a wider age range, Mulligans brings crazy golf, electro-darts, American pool, a basketball shootout and electro-shuffle together under one roof, and Sixes Social Cricket turns batting into something closer to a game show. Outdoors, Guildford Lido has open-air pools with slides, and Guildford Ski Slope is here too. The castle grounds host an illuminated light trail with glowing paths, interactive installations and marshmallow toasting along the route.
