Canada Water makes it easy to combine a small outdoor adventure with an indoor activity: follow the red boardwalk through Canada Dock’s wetlands, then head to the library for books, songs, games or creative time. Older children have coding, Lego and reading groups to choose from, while Canada Water Studios brings sensory play and musical activity for babies and under-fives. The leisure centre adds swimming and sports to the mix. Start with one activity that fits your child’s age, then leave room for a dockside wander rather than packing in the whole neighbourhood.
