Beamish Museum
Great North Museum: Hancock, Newcastle
Choose from the best attractions to keep the whole family entertained from a trip into outer space at Life Science Centre where the wonders of modern science are revealed, or a chance to explore the farthest reaches of history at Great North Museum: Hancock where you can even meet their life-size dinosaur skeleton!
Newcastle and Gateshead have plenty of excellent free museums, like Discovery Museum, and art galleries, such as Shipley Art Gallery, which have hands-on exhibits and creative events especially tailored to mini culture vultures.
Budding writers and illustrators will love Seven Stories which is the UK's National Centre for Children's Books. Explore exhibitions of original illustrations and first drafts from creators of children’s books. Take part in interactive events and lively storytelling sessions which will bring stories to life every day.
Seven Stories, The National Centre for Children's Books, Ouseburn
Burn off steam at The Valley Climb in Ouseburn and try a new physical challenge as a family when you have a go at bouldering or get competitive with a round of space-themed crazy golf at Mr Mulligan’s in the centre of Newcastle.
Lovers of the great outdoors should head to WWT Washington Wetland Centre to encounter all sorts of wildlife from minibeasts to a flock of flamingos. Families wanting to travel back in time can enjoy an immersive visit to Beamish Museum and get hands-on with history every day. Or Tynemouth Aquarium is a short Metro ride from Newcastle city centre and a great family day out at the coast.
