I think this is just a case of Dad getting bored, not your toddler.

Wide open spaces with a few swings is all they want/need at this age ... hence why he still enjoys the parks. Don't be pressurised into expensive entertainment.

Not saying whether you can get further afield in a car ?

Parents on here seem to recommend soft play centres.

There are always special events around, like the Noise Exhibition at Haworth Art Gallery and, of course, the Party in the Park today at Rhyddings Park.

Children of this age love to paddle, and anywhere in the countryside where they can throw pebbles in the river is always good fun. e.g. Edisford Bridge.
