entertaining young children in Southampton

[fabnfortysomething]

we are cruising out of Southampton end of May

our boarding time is 3pm

we want to travel down earlier in case of traffic issues so anticipate having a few ideas to kill in Southampton

Any suggestions for keeping active toddlers aged 3 and 2 entertained in the area?

How much earlier? Do you mean arriving in Southampton the day before sailing, or are you thinking of earlier than that?

A number of options just outside the city .....

 

 - Peppa Pig World, at Paultons Park. https://paultonspark.co.uk/

- Marwell Zoo, near Colden Common (animals in enclosures, not cages) https://www.marwell.org.uk/

- Longdown Farm, on the edge of the New Forest near Ashurst https://longdownfarm.co.uk/

 

In the city

- https://kidify.co.uk/day-out/jeffries-jungle (not close to the centre, cruise terminals etc)

- Injoy, https://injoycentres.com/activities/   in Ocean Village. Soft-play. Handy to cruise terminals
