What to Do in York With Kids

York is world-famous for its Minster, its city walls and its particular historic architecture. But fear not, it is usually an excellent destination to entertain your children! Come rain or shine, there are several things for children to complete in York.

First choice has to be the National Railway Museum. Located right close to York station it's easy to reach, has parking right on the doorstep, is practically all indoors and is also great for regardless of how alike. There are numerous things offered for the kids spanning various ages, including storytelling, interactive exhibits, a travel simulator, a play and picnic area plus a array of exhibits, plus every one of the normal facilities you would expect, such as restaurant, shop, baby change facilities...etc. But most importantly, most kids really adore big steam trains!

Next stop, York Dungeons, which can be filled with silly gory items that kids love! The Dungeons have several character actors who tell the tales of York's gruesome history, including highwayman Dick Turpin, Guy Fawkes and Viking King Eric Bloodaxe. However, the Dungeons is just not well suited for everyone, in particular those which has a nervous disposition and kids under A decade old. Kids of 20 years and under have to be combined with a grown-up to go in the Dungeon.

Just around the corner in the Dungeon is the JORVIK Viking Centre which is one other thingstodoinyork for children. The JORVIK takes you back in history on the 10th century to try out what Viking life in York really was like, filled with realistic smells! The Viking Centre is in fact built together with an authentic Viking settlement, allowing the kids to explore a nearby past and the Viking era whilst having fun.

York has become voted 'the most haunted city within the world', if you are being staying overnight in York then you should check out among the ghost tours. There are lots of tour operators, and they'll show you many of the most haunted locations, whilst telling stories of ghosts of past and present.

If you're looking for some open spaces for the children to only run around and burn energy, try Rowntrees Park, that is situated on the south side of the river near the city centre. It is a pleasant walk from the city - just cross the stream at Skeldergate Bridge and turn left, following a river bank along approximately 500 metres and soon you reach the park gates. Rowntrees Park has playgrounds, basketball & tennis courts, picnic areas, open spaces to try out ball and a duck pond to feed the wildlife. If you might prefer not to walk thus far the Museum Gardens (by Lendal Bridge) offers a nice tranquil get away from town, and is a great place for kids to roam about, as well as to food in summer.

On a sunny day there's no better location to be compared to the river. Try a River Cruise around the Ouse - catch the boat from either Lendal or Kings Staith. Alternatively explore the stream yourselves - you are able to hire your personal little red boat on an hour or so.

When the weather turns nasty, almost always there is City Screen Cinema (Coney St) that offers movies during the day, a week a week.

Further Afield

When you have an automobile there are several good options on the sting of town to entertain your children.

There's ten-pin bowling at Clifton Moor as well as an indoor waterpark Monks Cross just a couple miles out of the city. Youngsters would take advantage of the Wacky Warehouses at Flying Legends (Clifton Moor) and Riverside Farm (Skelton). They are purpose-built soft play areas with aerial runways, cargo nets and slides. There are also safe toddler areas with squishy squashy shapes for them to use.
