Things to check out around Oakwell Stadium?

So this might not suit your day plan, but if you can make it work and have taken the kids to the game, then the Metrodome Waterpark is inexpensive and guaranteed to please! There’s a wave pool, rapids and even diving boards which are cracking fun!

A more adult-oriented activity could be the indoor karting venue “Tyke Racing”. It’s your usual racing circuit with a group of mates, and even an awards ceremony after where you can have a drink!

Barnsley is a great northern town and is surrounded by lots of picturesque countryside so make the most of the opportunity and go for a walk in some of the beautiful parks – especially Locke Park which is home to a great adventure playground for the kids.

If you’re making a weekend out of your trip to Barnsley – then try a bit more hand on entertainment – with Tyke Kartracing or NextGen Paintballing! Good fun that will get your adrenaline pumping.
