Looking for a fun and (really) easy weekend out with the kids? Saint-Omer ticks all the boxes: listed marshes, clever museums, a historic train, fun centres... Here's how. 10 tried-and-tested ideas to keep the whole family busy, with rainy-weather alternatives and practical information for each activity.
Museo-experience immersive experience just a stone's throw from the centre bacôve (traditional boat) in the heart of 170 km of waterways in the Audomarois marshes. A great value for 3-4 year olds.
Major remembrance site (two routes on the Occupation and the space race) and 10K-3D planetarium for a journey through space that will amaze young and old alike. Perfect in case of rain.
Climb into a historic train in the heart of the Parc des Caps et Marais d'Opale (15km of track). A big hit for children aged 3 and over, and for all locomotive fans.
Course accessible for pushchairs/PMR for ~2 km in the midst of ancient peat bogs that have become a haven for biodiversity - ideal as an introduction to birdwatching.
Guided tours in bacôve, boat/canoe hirethemed tours (evening events, aperitifs...) and restaurant + cruise packages at La Baguernette, 5-10 min from Saint-Omer.
Large central park (21 ha) with playground, picnic areas, arboretum, old glacis... A perfect free break between two visits.
Educational area managed by Eden 62 : fun exhibitions, events, nature club - A great addition to the reserve.
Fine Arts & History in a listed town house adapted workshops and tours (see calendar).
Leisure pool + aquatic classes (aquagym, aquabike...), long opening hours at weekends; perfect for letting off steam when the weather turns bad.
Family theme park 25-30 min away: rides for young and old, picnic area, family services. A full day when the weather's fine.
The flats Apart'Moment are designed to make life easier for families: independent arrival from 2 p.m., fitted kitchen (children's meals in 10 minutes), Wi-Fi + Netflix for the evening, cot/high chair on request, free laundry according to residence, and free secure parking (14 spaces). You are within walking distance of many activities and starting points. Book your accommodation.
