A Halloween trail round the Brockhole grounds with six character doors to find. Each one has something to say and a letter to collect, and the letters spell a secret word that wins a prize back at Minty Land. Built for 2 to 8 year olds at £3 a child, with Brockhole's parking on top.
A free drop-in Halloween craft session in the museum's Learning Centre through half term, aimed at little ones who like getting sticky. Fold it into a museum visit.
A Halloween drop-in where children paint and decorate their own bat box with natural foliage to take home. A gentler Halloween than most, which suits the Peter Rabbit crowd.
Children write a letter to Father Christmas and post it in the Peter Rabbit post box, then make a bag of reindeer food to scatter on Christmas Eve.
A 50 minute Christmas show followed by a meet and greet with Santa, with a free gift for every child. Recommended for 3 and up. You can add the attraction or a festive afternoon tea, but the show-only ticket is the sensible buy if you have already done the Peter Rabbit rooms.
A 45-minute Nordic winter theatre show for ages 3 to 10 in the Victoria Wood Theatre, with puppetry, shadow play and paper craft, about a hidden Tomte and a lost Yuletide Goat. Seating is unreserved and booster seats are available; a show and attraction ticket makes a morning of it.
Places you can turn up to whether or not anything is on.
The national park's visitor centre with treetop nets, archery, mini golf, boat hire and a big adventure playground running down to the lake shore. Free to wander; the activities are pay-as-you-go.
Ten acres of fellside garden looking down over Windermere, run by the Lakeland Horticultural Society: terraces, a walled garden, glasshouses and children's trails. No fixed entry price and children go free.
The classic first family fell: a short climb from Windermere village to a proper summit with the whole lake and the high fells laid out below. A surfaced accessible path now runs all the way up, though it is still a real 120-metre climb, not a stroll.
A new woodland-themed adventure golf course at Troutbeck Bridge, just outside Windermere, with little animal characters to spot round the holes and a golf-and-swim family deal with the health club pool next door.
BeWILDerwood's first indoor play centre, opened at Brockhole in July 2026: tree-top tunnels, river rapids and magic mirrors in the world of Minty the Crocklebog. Timed slots, and a proper wet-day answer on the Windermere shore.
Peter Rabbit's world recreated in walk-through scenes, ending in the garden with Mr McGregor's vegetables. Squarely for the under-8s; it is small, sweet and unashamed of it.
