Can you swim here on a day visit?<\/h3>\n
Yes. Day visitors pre-book online through the day visitor swimming page<\/a>, and slots are released on a rolling basis, 24 hours before each session.

What else is there to do at Ribby Hall?<\/h2>\n
There’s rather a lot, and while plenty of the shows and toddler sessions are included in a break for staying guests, other activities are charged and booked separately.<\/p>\n
The Hive<\/h3>\n
It’s open daily from 9am until late. Inside you’ll find daytime and evening shows, an arcade with air hockey, soft play for little ones and a café serving all day. There’s pizza from Papa John’s on site too, plus Terrazza for Italian and a bar for the grown-ups.<\/p>\n
Wild Discovery and the outdoor stuff<\/h3>\n
Wild Discovery is Ribby’s own mini zoo, with farmyard animals, an exotic house of jungle creatures, a Safari Walk and a free flying bird show. Tickets are on the Wild Discovery website<\/a>, and under-2s go free.<\/p>\n\n- Pirates Bay Adventure Golf, a 12-hole pirate course (4 and under free)<\/li>\n
- Pedal boats on the lake, and a climbing wall that looks over it<\/li>\n
- Bike hire, archery, tennis and a nine-hole golf course for 14 and over<\/li>\n
- An adventure play area with a pirate ship<\/li>\n
- A woodland trail with wood carvings and a pond dipping platform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For the grown-ups<\/h4>\n
Grown-ups get a look in too, as The Spa Hotel won the Good Spa Guide’s UK’s Best Day Spa award and staying guests get one personal training session in the gym during their stay.<\/p>\n
Christmas and Halloween<\/h4>\n
At Christmas there’s Santa’s Grotto and a Sleeping Beauty pantomime. Midweek Little Elf breaks add free activities for under-5s. Halloween brings a Trick or Treat Trail, which lines up neatly with our October half term deals<\/a>.<\/p>\nStaying on site: cottages, hot tubs and holiday homes<\/h2>\n
![\"Bedrooms](\"\/images\/ribbym.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The village’s own cottages, pine lodges, larger signature properties and The Motel are all booked direct with it. Some cottages are dog friendly, and there are hot tub breaks and baby and toddler breaks. Fall for the place and there are luxury lodges and static caravans for sale. Recent TripAdvisor reviews mention refurbished cottages and a welcome pack for the dogs.<\/p>\n
Staying there gets you the adults-only pool and the included activities, but day visitors can use most of the other facilities too.<\/p>\n
Want your own lodge instead, with a hot tub on the deck and a quieter evening? Book one close by and pop over for a swim.<\/p>\n
