Things to do near Chipping Norton

Any anyone have any suggestions of what to do with a 3yo & an 8yo near Chpping Norton this weekend please? (In this heat!) Apart from Diddly Squat… I was thinking of places where they could play in a stream or maybe somewhere else to cool off a bit?
Any suggestions are welcome and gratefully received!

I was going to suggest Blenheim Palace https://www.blenheimpalace.com
I am not sure if it has water they can play in.

However, a quick google came up with Fairytale Farm

There’s a toddler pool at Chipping Norton Lido

The old Shed is Charlbury is a lovely cafe with a nice walking trail and some farm animals.

Blenheim palace but if you get tickets get ones where you can go into ‘adventure play’ really nice play area for kids with a stream and fountain running through the middle of it.

Chipping Norton lido - but it can book up quickly on hot days.

Yarnton Magic Garden is a nice soft play in a really nice massive garden centre if you want to beat the heat.

fairytale farm - kids absolutely love it… adults errr less so 😂

Slightly further afield if you are looking for a big “day out” have a look at Cotswold farm park or Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Have fun!!
