Things to do with kids in Leeds

Leeds, in the North of England, is part of West Yorkshire and a stone’s throw from the Yorkshire Dales with their distinctive Three Peaks.

If you’re looking for things to do with kids in Leeds, the city itself has plenty on offer, ranging from baby activities like signing and sensory sessions to active and educational activities for older children.

Step back in time in one of Leeds’s many museums: try camouflaging yourself at Leeds City Museum, or discover the history of cricket at the Yorkshire Cricket Museum.

Stroll through the city centre and take in its splendid architecture, such as the Old Post Office and Leeds Cathedral.

If the sun is shining, head to one of the parks, including Roundhay Park – one of the largest in Europe – and Stockeld Park, where you’ll find go-karting, roller-skating and inflatables on offer.

Animal lovers will enjoy encountering furry and feathered friends at Tropical World, Swithens Farm, or the Donkey Sanctuary.

If you're planning your child's next birthday party, we're here to help with our guide to the area's best services for kids' parties , whether you're looking for a complete package with everything included or a cheap and cheerful hall to hire.

There’s also beautiful countryside on the doorstep: perfect for dog walks, mountain biking, hunting for bargains at the area's car boot sales or just a family stroll.
