Family Fun on the Roseland Peninsula This Rainy Day
The Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall offers plenty of family-friendly activities, even when the weather keeps you indoors. With Bay Tree Barn as your cosy home base, you can explore these top spots.
Get Lost in Heligan’s Gardens
For garden lovers, the Lost Gardens of Heligan has an indoor jungle play area perfect for little ones. Let them run while you admire the lush plant life or take a family cooking class at the Heligan Kitchen. The grounds also include a Mud Maze and Wildlife Hideout for when the clouds clear. Don’t miss the Giant’s Head Play Area, a big children’s play area equipped with the only inflatable Jumping Pillow in the South West.

Indoor Play at The Eden Project
The Eden Project is a must-see attraction, with its Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes housing exotic plants and educational exhibits. Kids love wandering through and spotting unique species. On rainy days, stay dry while learning about ecosystems that thrive in wet conditions. In Winter months ticket prices are reduced and will last for an entire year so you can come back and visit at peak summer times without having to pay again.
Take a Railway Journey Back in Time
The Lappa Valley Steam Railway transports you back in time aboard vintage locomotives. Kids can interact with trains and museum exhibits, including model railways. Rain or shine, covered carriages let you see the countryside during this journey into history. Don’t miss special themed events!
