More about these ideas

Cornish weather can turn in minutes, so here is everything we list where the main visit is indoors or under cover: museums, aquariums, galleries, cinemas, leisure centres, the Eden Project biomes and more. They are grouped by area, so you can find something close to where you are staying.

Opening times change through the year and some places close in winter, so check before you set off. If the rain clears, see the free things to do, days out with kids or the Cornwall beaches map.
