Rainy days aren’t wasted days.
Let’s face it, the sun’s not always shining, even here in Cornwall.
We thoroughly encourage getting absolutely soaked, jumping in every puddle you see, and embracing the wildness of our bounteous countryside… however, we also acknowledge that sometimes the greatest pleasure can be had in knowing that you’re not out in it. These are some of our nearest indoor attractions and activities for you and the family, for those days when you’re just not feeling like a stomp in the rain.
Barn Climbing Centre
Friendly, social, dedicated indoor climbing facility. Run by climbers, for climbers and anyone interested in having a go. Courses and Taster Sessions indoors or outdoors are available too. There are several bouldering routes, suitable for climbers of all ages, and higher routes that require ropes and guides.
iBounce Cornwall
This colourful facility houses fun energetic activities, suitable for all ages. Within the centre, you'll find 66 trampolines, stunt zones, dodgeball, plus interactive light games, activity zones, and their new skywalk, where children and adults can climb steps and rope bridges, and jump off a 1.5 metre platform into a giant air bag. They also have sessions for toddlers and adult fitness sessions, and are great for entertainment and exercise on a rainy day, but can get very busy at times.
