Things to Do in Newton Abbot with Kids

1. Enjoy indoor role play at iTown

For families searching for an indoor play area in Newton Abbot, iTown offers something different from traditional soft play. Children step into a miniature town filled with themed role-play areas, costumes and props where they can make up their own adventures.

It is especially useful when you want an activity that encourages imaginative and social play rather than simply filling an hour. Take a look at our rooms and play areas, check current prices or book your visit online.

2. Burn off some energy at iBounce Newton Abbot

If the children are looking for something more energetic, iBounce Newton Abbot is another indoor family activity in the town. With trampolining and indoor soft play, it offers a different style of play for children who want to jump, climb and burn off some energy.

It also makes iTown and iBounce useful alternatives depending on the kind of day your family wants — imaginative role play at iTown or a more active indoor experience at iBounce.

3. Game together at The Gamer Lounge

For older children, teens and gaming families, The Gamer Lounge offers another very different indoor activity in Newton Abbot. Located here at the same Queen Street venue as iTown, it features PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo gaming on huge screens.

That makes the Queen Street venue particularly handy for families with different age groups: younger children can enjoy the imaginative world of iTown, while The Gamer Lounge provides an experience aimed at older children, teens and gamers.

4. Explore Newton Abbot town centre

Turn your visit into a wider family trip. Newton Abbot town centre has shops, places to stop for food and local points of interest within walking distance. A town-centre activity also gives families flexibility: enjoy some indoor play first, then explore outside if the weather improves.

5. Get outside at a local park

On a dry day, Newton Abbot and the surrounding area offer parks, green spaces and family-friendly walks. Combining an outdoor stop with an indoor activity can make an easy full day out without having to travel far between activities.

6. Plan for a rainy Devon day

Searching for things to do in Newton Abbot when it rains is familiar territory for Devon families. iTown, iBounce and The Gamer Lounge all provide indoor options, giving families a choice of imaginative play, energetic activity or gaming without the day's plans depending on the forecast.

7. Make a birthday into a day out

If you are planning something for a birthday rather than an ordinary visit, iTown also offers Teddy Town birthday parties. Children enjoy the iTown experience alongside a special teddy-making activity, making the celebration part party and part day out. For older children and gamers, The Gamer Lounge also offers dedicated gaming parties.
