One of the largest dinosaur collections anywhere, with a dig pit and hands-on rooms rather than glass cases only. If you are going more than twice a year the membership pays for itself across the four venues.

Built into the hillside so the building itself is part of the visit, with a serious dinosaur hall and a top-floor view over the valley. Ask about the resident discount, which is not advertised at the door.

Hands-on play museum aimed squarely at under-tens, with a large outdoor water and climbing area that is only open in warm weather. Loud and packed on rainy Saturdays; a weekday morning is a different place.

Warm spring water inside a limestone dome you enter through a tunnel, about ninety degrees all year. Booking is by timed slot and weekends sell out well ahead. Children need to be confident in deep water since there is no shallow end.

Play-based and aimed at under-tens; a nine year old will have run out of it in an hour. Parking is in the Gateway garage, so validate it or the ticket price effectively goes up.

Skating on the actual Olympic speed skating oval, indoors and cool even in August. Public sessions are limited and often mid-day on weekends, so the schedule decides the trip rather than the other way round.

Big bouldering and auto-belay walls, and the auto belays mean one adult can supervise two children without needing a second belayer. Weekday afternoons are far calmer than weekend mornings.

Indoor leisure pool with a lazy river and slides, warm enough for toddlers, which makes it the winter answer to the summer pool question. Busy in the two hours after school lets out.

Worth visiting as a building, not just a library: a spiral walkable roof, a glass atrium and a children's floor with its own small rooms. Free, warm, and open on Sundays when most alternatives are not.

An odd one that works: a shop with an indoor ferris wheel, aquariums and a wildlife display, all free to wander. Genuinely useful on an inversion day when you need somewhere warm that costs nothing.

Roller rink with inflatables and a soft play area attached, so a child too small to skate still has something to do. Sessions are scheduled rather than all-day, so check times before driving over.
