What to do in Halifax

[QuestionableMouse]

Travelling to Halifax to take my nephews do the Eureka Museum and hopefully we'll have a bit of free time. Is there anywhere toddler friendly and not too expensive to get something to eat? I know there's a big Sainsbury's.

We're arriving at about lunch time on the Sunday, staying in the travelodge and heading to the museum on the Monday morning.

Thank you!

Erm I cant help much but dh is from there. There is a few chain restaurants tgi fridays,nando's etc in the new complex with the vue cinema.

Piece hall, over the road from Eureka. Shibden Park is nice as is Manor heath Park (altho smaller but has a butterfly house).

Can't help with food recommendations, but the Calderdale Industrial Museum is pretty good if you're not exhausted by Eureka.

I'd suggest going in to the town centre, you'll find the Piece Hall etc quite expensive for food, especially if you're going for something with with a young child. There are some half decent cafes that are cheap and cheerful😊

Shibden park is fabulous great play area.
Vue cinema If the weather is poor they do cheap showings in a morning during school holidays!

To eat chain restaurants, I think I'd go for fish and chips 😋

i live in Halifax sainsburys cafe is not there any more theres a burger king over the road from eureka, a mcdonalds in the town centre, shibden park is five minutes from travel lodge if you have a car, bankfield museume in boothtown ten minutes from travel lodge is free, the industrial museum is good but only open short hours, theres a big blue frog play place near the town centre, just ask the staff at travel lodge they will be able to tell you where everything is, and theres a tourist information in the peice hall

Just to add, there are also a few cafes in Borough Market or there are larger chain ones as PP mentioned; Mcdonalds, Nandos, Frankie and Benny's, TGIs, Beefeater or there's a Burger King on the road from Eureka

Piece hall and shibden park!

Oh I'm definitely going to Shibden hall/Park. It's part of the reason I wanted to go (thanks you BBC! 😂)

Thanks for the ideas. We might stick to Sainsbury's but if I can I like to support local cafes and shops rather than the chain places. 😀

Driving down Sunderland so will be stopping at weatherby for jam doughnuts from Greggs and a visit to Burger King

Pajaree's is incredible Thai food and she's very helpful. Shibden Hall is lovely.
