Terrible Tales at Moyse's Hall Museum
Featuring six Terrible Tales by Terry Deary, best-selling author and creator of the hugely popular Horrible Histories books, there are some fun and interactive displays for children at Moyse's Hall Museum.
Lego at St Edmundsbury Cathedral
Visit St Edmundsbury Cathedral's ambitious project to recreate the Cathedral out of 200,000 LEGO bricks!
Visitors can see the Lego Cathedral being built before their eyes and you can offer them a hand by placing your very own brick for just £1!
The Lego Cathedral is located in the South West corner of St Edmundsbury Cathedral.
Rollerskating
Looking for somewhere that the kids can let off steam and have some fun? Then head to CurveMotion! Home to the biggest playframe in East Anglia, little ones will love charging around the soft play area; complete with tunnels, climbing nets, slides, climbing wall, battle canon zone, disco zone and huge 6ft vertical drop slide. For toddlers and babies, there's also a dedicated area with soft play and a ball pool.
After running riot in the soft play, pop on your roller skates and head to the roller skating rink for an hour or so of whizzing around the rink (and falling over too!). After all that racing around, head to the cafe for ice creams, milkshakes and lunch.
Swimming
There's lots to do for the whole family on a rainy day at Bury St Edmunds Leisure Centre. Book a family swim session and have a splashing good time in the pirate pool with flumes. For adults, you can run up a sweat at one of the stations in their fully equipped gym, put yourself through your paces on the 8 lane athletics track and afterwards, relax in the sauna.
Afterwards, you can enjoy snacks, drinks and meals in the on-site Paddy & Scotts café.
Ten Pin Bowling
With plenty of fun things to do for guests of all ages, Bury Bowl is more than just a bowling centre. Bury Bowl has 12 lanes for bowling and their clear and easy to use systems make keeping score nice and simple.
From air hockey to pool tables, Bury Bowl also has an exciting range of extra activities for everyone to enjoy with a great range of games to enjoy including air hockey, pool tables, basketball machines and more.
