Things to do with kids in Butetown
A family outing in Butetown can begin with bilingual books at Plas Iona, move into hands-on science on Stuart Street, or take in the Welsh Parliament beside the water. The neighbourhood also has its own community activity: parent-and-toddler groups and junior youth provision at the Pavilion, and Jukebox dance at Butetown Community Centre. Around The Flourish and Bute Place, craft exhibitions and family theatre offer a different pace. Choose one main activity and a smaller stop rather than treating the whole of Cardiff Bay, Penarth and the Barrage as the same neighbourhood.
Choose bilingual books at Butetown Hub, hands-on science at Techniquest or free play and crafts at the Senedd. The Pavilion and Jukebox add local community activities, with craft exhibitions and family theatre around The Flourish and Bute Place.
