Half term is fast approaching in the Yorkshire area this year, with parents and guardians looking for activities to occupy the young ones this February half-term.
With the weather also looking not exactly like the Yorkshire Riviera we’ve all known to come and love, then perhaps a trip to theme parks might not be on the cards - though if the weather is good, we’ve got you covered there also.
But instead, we’ve taken a look at Tripadvisor and the numerous reviews other families have left regarding activities for everyone, young and old, that might be of interest ahead of the start of half-term.
From the Bradford National Science and Media Museum after its incredible transformation, through to learning a little more about the Vikings in York, here’s 19 activities worth considering across Yorkshire, and the locations of each establishment or activity we’ve picked in order to determine just how far you’ll need to travel.
So what did we pick? Read on to find out!
