Things to do with kids in St Albans

The Hertfordshire city of St Albans is renowned for its Roman heritage.

It was the first major town outside London for Roman travellers heading north, and later became known as Verulamium.

Verulamium Park is still one of the jewels in the St Albans’s crown: there, you’ll find the remains of the city walls and the beautifully restored Roman hypocaust, along with the Verulamium Museum, a lake, play areas and a splash park which opens in the summer months.

The city centre is the home of St Albans cathedral and abbey, the mediaeval clock tower, and a thriving market that people flock to from miles around. Bargain hunters will also enjoy browsing the regular car boot sales in the area, where you can snap up second-hand treasures.

You’ll find loads of things to do with kids in St Albans. Willows Activity Farm is hugely popular with young families, and the Warner Bros Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Pottter is within easy reach.

If you're looking for ways to keep the smallest members of the family entertained, there are lots of baby activities to choose from: search our guide to see what's on, from baby and toddler groups to sensory, music and sporting sessions.

The city also has a leisure centre, the Odyssey (a recently restored art deco cinema), various soft play centres and a theatre, The Alban Arena, which stages regular children’s shows and an annual pantomime. There are plenty of options for children's parties, too, ranging from sporting activities to pamper parties and pop-up arcades: there's something for every age and taste.
