The school summer holidays are now in full swing as children enjoy a well-deserved break from the classroom.
This is the time they will remember forever, which makes it the perfect opportunity to make exciting memories as a family.
However, as the six weeks tick by, it can be tough to consistently come up with new ideas for a day out.
That’s why we’ve come up with a list of 11 neighbourhoods across Leeds which are filled with fun and affordable activities.
With activities including museum escapades, nature trails, and trips to the zoo, here are some of the top places to visit in summer.
1. Temple Newsam
The star attraction of Temple Newsam is of course the Temple Newsam Estate which is stacked with summer holiday events. After checking out the Tudor-Jacobean house, why not head to Go Ape for an adrenaline rush? | Gerard Binks
2. Roundhay
With a 700-acre park featuring playgrounds, woodlands, and cafes, Roundhay is a great place for kids to get outside. Tropical World then offers a brilliant opportunity to get up close with butterflies, meerkats, and more. | National World
3. Wetherby
Wetherby is a gentle market town which is a hidden gem in Leeds. Kids will perhaps most enjoy Stockeld Park, which is running magic shows, pedal go-kart experiences, and outdoor play this summer.
4. Leeds Dock
If your child is a huge history fan, the Royal Armouries Museum at Leeds Dock is a brilliant place to visit. There's no better way to travel there than the water taxi, which is free for children aged five and under. | James Hardisty
5. Rothwell
Over in Rothwell, the place to be is Swithen Farm as here kids can meet sheep, llamas, guinea pigs, and more. After, why not visit Rothwell Leisure Centre where kids under three swim free? | Steve Riding
6. Otley
Adventurous youngsters will love Otley Chevin in Otley where you can climb on boulders and discover hidden cave spots. The market town also has Wharefmeadows Park which is another great place to burn off energy. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
