A day out in Yorkshire… What would you do? With kids!!

[MsWalterMitty]

I’m last minute driving from Kendal to Hull tomorrow and looking to stop somewhere for the day…. Don’t need to be in Hull until tea time and I’ll be spending the weekend there.

Thinking Leeds or York way, but not overly fussed on a city visit with an 8yr old and 12yr old. Don’t want to go shopping!!!

Happy outdoors/indoors, museums/activities.

Ideas would be great!! Thanks

Stockeld Park is very Christmassy and great for a day out.

Or Harewood House, Temple Newsam or Lotherton Hall?

Whitby?

the national train museum in York good day out and free to go in only need to pay for parking

Diggerland

Thanks!

If you go to York the York Chocolate Story is fun:

York is good but will be very busy. I think I would go straight to Hull and go to The Deep.

The castle museum at York is very good. They have a traditional Victorian street that you can walk down and at this time of year will be selling lots of traditional Christmas sweets like sugar mice etc ☺️

So would I. Unless you leave Kendal very early it isn't really worth stopping off en route to visit somewhere very interesting unless you don't expect to get to Hull until very late.

Flamingoland?

Ignore me, you said tomorrow not weekend...

Inflatanation at beverley?
Or Vanguard at York has Hollywood bowl, puttstars and a cineworld

Jorvik (I think its called that) if you do go into york, also there is the most amazing fudge shop in york

Slightly depends on your route. If travelling down the M6 and then M62 I would stop somewhere in the leeds/wakefield area. Temple Newsam is nice as is Lotherton Hall.

Gullivers in Rotherham is a fab day out

In this weather- national train museum rather than something purely outdoors. We went un the summer though, might be more outdoorsy than I remember.

Agree! York is so busy at the moment with shoppers, it's hard to park and get around sensibly.

Agreed, go straight to Hull. There's The Deep,Transport or Maritime Museum's. Take them out to Spurn Head if you fancy outdoors or there is the usual Bowling, Ice Skating etc

The Forbidden Corner!

I just checked, it’s pretty much bang on in between Kendal and Hull.

Absolutely brilliant day out.

Thackray museum of medicine just outside of Leeds

York train museum
York cathedral

Yorkshire wildlife park is a good day out
