The UK is full of great attractions that are family-friendly - and great fun for all!

Make sure to look out for theme parks, water parks, farm attractions, zoos and theatre and film events taking place all over the country. There are even attractions that even though they aren't marketed as being aimed at children, still have lots of things the whole family can do and make sure that there are options for their younger visitors. Take for instance, museums, art galleries and other historical buildings, the National Trust for instance are always good at helping keep youngsters entertained.

Adventure parks

The UK loves to entertain its visitors and locals - which means we have lots of adventure, theme and water parks: large, small, quirky, award-winning - and plenty that are somewhere in between!

Animals

We have lots of attractions that wildlife enthusiasts will love. From the large - such as the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, and West Midland's Wildlife Park - to the smaller, such as Pennywell Farm in Devon, all are great at educating and entertaining on the subject of native or exotic animals or marine life.

Castles and Stately Homes

The opportunities at a castle or fort for imaginative play and learning can’t be underestimated – making a visit to one of the UK's castles, forts or historical houses a brilliant choice for a family day out that pleases everyone. The National Trust even runs a membership scheme guaranteeing cheaper and free entry to those that want to take in a whole host of British heritage.

Parks and gardens

Visitors to the UK might notice how much greenery there is, even in the larger cities, you'll find parks and gardens all over for you to enjoy.

Whether you're planning a staycation or are travelling to the UK from further afield, you'll find family friendly activities galore.
