What to do in Cornwall when it's wet??

Typically my niece and nephews have arrived for their holiday and Cornwall is properly wet! No signs of it blowing over so I'm looking for indoor attraction recommendations please.

We're in South East Cornwall but are prepared to travel :)

Any suggestions?

    How old are your nephews and niece? Have they got any particular hobbies or interests? In my experience under 12s are often into rocks and fossils so geology museum might be good.

    These sites might give you some good ideas.

    Pop to the opposite coastline to see if it's dry!

    Try Cornish Goldsmiths at Tolgus Mill or the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth.

    I can't think of anywhere worse! Last time we went, Mrs V. spent £250 on clothes and tat and the kids took £40 from my wallet for the rides. I can't think of anywhere less MSE! :p:D

    LOL Trago is already on the list but I agree with the comment that it's anything but moneysaving - it's tat-er-ific! :)

    We ended up at Trethorne Leisure Park near Launceston, fed the lambs and goats, milked the cow and then spent several hours playing on the various frames/slides and trampolines, turned out to be an excellent choice, great value for money and the kids are pooped now so will be off to bed at a reasonable hour and we can reward ourselves with a little glass of wine
  • Not sure of the ages, but I think it is Diggerland, near Newquay that has a big indoor play area. They used to do free return for a week as well.
