What can I do today with a teen girl that’s not a girly girly in West Yorkshire / Yorkshire area that won’t cost a remortgage and won’t be hotter then hell.

Cinema- although can be pricey
Salts Mill
Walk somewhere shady with lots of trees- ? St Ives
I looked at Ilkley lido for you but it’s fully booked.

I’m taking DS14 to walk to the 5 rise locks and then to buy school shoes but that isn’t the most exciting plan 😂

Rock climbing - Freek Lime if they have space today
Cinema
Dare2Air
Salts Mill
Piece Hall
Hebden Bridge walk and mooch in shops/cafe

Thanks, I looked up the Lido the other day to see if we could book.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is lovely, I hate art but I enjoy a day out there.
Not West Yorkshire but you could get the train to York for a visit
Indoor bouldering
Wild swimming at St Aidan's

It will be cooler underground

And if you head that way, you could also check Nidderdale museum and the valley of desolation waterfalls

Ice skating.

We’ve gone on the train to Hebden Bridge. Not been for years and thought the train would change it up a bit.

Stump cross caverns was a hit with my teens last week, we.did the UV light tour which was brilliant. They also enjoyed seeing Menwith Hills.

Further afield there's Ingleborough show cave

On my list for the rest of the summer is Ilkley Lido,.Salts Mill,.Skipton, and then I am going to look at some of the other suggestions on here!

Oh and we have Xscape booked for some summer ski lessons!

Trivial Pursuit trail in Leeds was good.
