This year, families can enjoy the full range of attractions, including Calypso Cove Waterpark, the brand new Adventure Reef indoor play area, and great food at our Cafe’s, making the Metrodome a go to summer holiday destination for families across Barnsley, Sheffield, Wakefield and the wider South Yorkshire region.
Adventure Reef – Barnsley’s Newest Indoor Adventure Play Area
Adventure Reef is Barnsley Metrodome’s new, deep sea themed adventure play area for children of all ages. It includes a dedicated zone for toddlers, a main adventure area for children aged five and up, and a Chill Out Zone for pre teens.
Inside Adventure Reef, children can take on rope ladders, climbing nets, scramble nets and tunnels, or explore the dedicated Sensory Space, designed to support neurodivergent children. There is also an Interactive Sports Court for older kids and teens, and the Shark Shack on site for snacks and drinks throughout the visit.
Adventure Reef has quickly become one of the most popular things to do in Barnsley with kids this summer, and now is the perfect time to experience it for less.
Calypso Cove Waterpark – South Yorkshire’s Favourite Indoor Waterpark
No summer at the Metrodome is complete without a visit to Calypso Cove, Barnsley’s much loved indoor waterpark. Take on Terror Torrent, the UK’s fastest pitch black flume, brave the Eruption volcano slide, or relax with younger children in Barnacle Bay, the dedicated splash zone for toddlers.
With wave sessions, multiple flumes and a pool suitable for every age and ability, Calypso Cove remains one of the best waterparks in South Yorkshire for a full family day out, whatever the weather outside.
After all that sliding, splashing and climbing, head to our Cafe’s for a well earned break. With a dedicated children’s menu and a relaxed setting for parents to recharge, it is the perfect way to round off a Metrodome summer day out.
