Family Days Out in Leeds

Thinking of having a family day out in Leeds? Then you’ve come to the right place because we’ve compiled a list of all the best, most child-friendly places to visit on your trip. Despite being the fastest growing city in the UK Leeds is still one of the best cities to visit for the quality and size of its open spaces. Roundhay Park is a must for a family outing with its combination of truly beautiful green spaces and woodlands and the new attractions that have now been established following a multi-million pound rejuvenation project. Winner of a recent national Green Flag award for the quality of its park, Roundhay houses over 700 acres of land with a variety of beautifully tended gardens, wildlife areas, sports facilities and cafes. Though we think if the weathers warm enough you should definitely take a picnic hamper and blanket! A trip to the Thackray Museum is also well worth a visit where you can all learn about the history of medicine through a series of fun, hands-on exhibitions that show what things were like for our Victorian predecessors and how much they’ve changed – for the better! So why not come to Leeds for a great family day out together?
