Whatever the weather, Cardiff Bay is a breath of fresh air and has something to keep children of ages entertained. Walking or cycling the circular Bay Trail is a great way to get to know the Bay better and enjoy some spectacular views. The full route is just over 6 miles/10km with places of interest, as well as wildlife, play areas and a variety of cafés and ice cream outlets along the way. For an interactive experience, little explorers can download the Tiger Bay Trail App and have fun discovering the history of the area along the way.

Children in search of adrenaline-filled adventures will find them at the award-winning Cardiff International White Water (CIWW), where lots of activities are on offer in one amazing place. They'll have a blast riding jets of water on a body-board with Indoor Wave, particularly as the double lane design enables family and friends to perfect their skills together.
Other activities include canoeing and kayaking taster sessions, Air Trail featuring high ropes and zip wires that tower above the white water course, the climbing wall and bike hire.

From arts and crafts, theater, sport or Halloween themed activities, parents and carer's will have no problem keeping the children entertained."
