    Indoor activities

    If there's a day where it's a bit too chilly outside then don't worry, we still have plenty to keep you going indoors. Design something scary in Pic 'n' Paint Pottery, or how about creating a masterpiece with your very own sand art.

    Have you ever tried archery? Go for that bullseye, or check out the amusement arcade and win some new toys to play with.

              How to pay – Activity Bundles or buying individually

              At most of our parks, we use Activity Bundles. You can add bundles of 12 or 24 passes to your booking after selecting your accommodation grade. Then, you'll need to go to your My Haven Holiday account to reserve individual activities for your trip using your bundle. 

              If you're planning a trip to Craig Tara, Hafan y Môr, Hopton, Littlesea or Seashore, you'll need to book and pay for your activities individually. You can do this using our Whats On app. Book ahead so you don't miss out.
