Exactly that really. I'm gonna be in Newquay tomorrow. What can we do to entertain my 6 year old son, other than the beach?

The aquarium and zoo are my first thoughts.

The zoo is great. Also how about crazy golf

Oooh crazy golf. That sounds perfect. So simple but fun. He's not done that before.

Is the aquarium any good?

Build sand castles, chase waves, body board, eat ice cream, sand sculptures, watch the surfers if its wavey enough.

Yes it’s pretty good but my DD prefers the zoo (and it lasts longer). You might be better at the aquarium if it’s raining though as it’s indoors.

Either way, hope you have a great day.

The aquarium is right on the town beach so that's a 241 although Fistral beach is better/where all the surfers are

I live in Newquay...the playparks been updated at Atlantic Road carpark. Its good 😊 theres another good park by the zoo.
Skatepark behind the zoo
Waterworld swimming pool has water slides
Theres a big bouncy castle n slide thing on the barrowfields overlooking tolcarne beach.
Theres a funfair at the goldings, accross the big roundabout near morrisons
Dairyland farmworld is a kids farm attraction with a decent indoor play centre just outside of newquay.
The harbour can be pretty interesting...also its £15 for a 2hour mackrel fishing tri
Hope theres a few things to pick from there

Thank you everyone. It's literally only going to be a passing visit so we won't have time for everything. Just want to have something quick and simple lined up for ds for the road trip really. Beach with chip for lunch and messing around with the Frisbee is on for sure. Think we're gonna go with crazy golf. Sounds simple and fun.

surfskate any tips on which crazy golf to go? I've seen there is one at gilmores and another at trenance, just wondered if you know which is best?
