York with older teen - ideas

[Inesyoucantbelieveawordshesays]

I was a student in York a million years ago but then moved away. I haven't been back for about 7 years and even then, it was just for a week's holiday with younger DC.

Now my 17 y.o DS is strongly considering it for university and we've booked a weekend up there later this spring. I'd love any ideas from people in the area about anything new that older teens might enjoy: places to eat / have coffee; things to do that I might not have thought of.

I have my own list of lovely places and treats (not to mention a few ghosts to lay!) but I know the city has changed a lot in the last 30 years or so.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Mindlock Escape Room
The Potions Cauldron in The Shambles
The Hole in Wand
House of the Trembling Madness

Great suggestions, thank you.
Hopefully bumping for more.

I took my DCs to York a few years ago specifically to visit the York Armoury where DS bought himself a sword We didn’t do much else there tbh, except stargazing as it was the Perseid Meteors, so that’s all I’ve got!

My dc love “Panda- Mami” to eat in York. Serve tire self buffet style from around the world. It’s a chain - previously called Cosmo- so you may know it/ not be bothered, but my dc are country bumpkins.

The city ghost walks are meant to be very good.
