Maidenhead has lots to offer families – our own Magnet leisure centre provides swimming and other sports facilities and the newly refurbished ‘Cheeky Charlies’ indoor activity centre is a must for 0-5 year olds. You can even book exclusive use of the play area for a children’s party.
See the latest films at the town centres’ Odeon cinema or go bowling at Ten Pin Bowl. For the arts, why not take a visit to Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, it hosts some amazing events from theatre, cinema, jazz, children’s workshops and much more.
If it’s the outdoors you crave, the new look Shire horse centre is the perfect choice for children who want to see an array of domestic and farmyard animals.
Maidenhead also boasts a range of outdoor children’s play areas and picnic areas. Or for something completely different, why not take a boat from the picturesque Boulters Lock to the neighbouring towns of Windsor, Marlow or Cookham.
Entertainment is right on your doorstep so why not enjoy a fun family day out in Maidenhead!
