Adventures & Crazy Golf
Go to listing ↓Browse Adventures & Crazy Golf on Mapzest. Sort by distance to find the closest options. Listings are kept up to date by the businesses themselves.
Family & Attractions across South Devon covers adventure activities, aquariums, theme parks, zoos, crazy golf and other family-friendly venues, spread unevenly across the area's towns — some of the area's best-known family attractions sit in or near the larger resort towns, while smaller towns tend to have a more modest, locally-scaled offering.
Dated family EVENTS — activity days, holiday clubs and one-off sessions — are listed separately under Events; this page and its sub-categories cover the attractions and venues themselves. Because the spread varies so much by town, this global page is best for browsing everything at once, with a specific town's own Family & Attractions category (under its Places page) for what's actually nearby.
Every listing here is managed directly by the attraction or venue, so opening times and seasonal details are as current as they keep them. Whichever town you're planning to explore, check the specific listing's own page before you travel, particularly for seasonal opening hours.
Sub-categories separate adventure activities, aquariums, science centres, theme parks, zoos and crazy golf, so you can narrow down to the kind of attraction you're after rather than browsing everything at once. Results can be sorted by distance from you too, useful for planning a day out around wherever you're staying.
Some of the area's largest, best-known family attractions sit in or near the bigger resort towns, particularly Torquay and Paignton, while smaller towns tend to have a handful of more locally-scaled options — check a specific town's own Family & Attractions category (under its Places page) for a shorter, genuinely local list.
