Explore Family Friendly Activities in Reading

There are so many family friendly activities in Reading. Check out our What's On section for specific events, but here you'll find activities that allow young people to let off steam, engage with nature, broaden the mind or just chill out.

Being in and on the water is a great way to keep fit while having fun. Reading has two aqua parks, paddleboarding and kayaking centres and river boat cruises.

Reading's museums are interactive and fun. Dress up as a Victorian schoolchild, become a farmer, or climb aboard a plane - it's all possible here.

There is no end of green spaced to run around in and sports clubs to join. Reading is also blessed with amazing kids theatre and music groups and lessons, art clubs and dance schools so no excuse for not pursuing that dream!
