Family Fun in and around Darlington

06 September 2018

 

If you’re looking to get out of the house and spend some quality time with your family, there are plenty of things you can do in Darlington and the surrounding areas. Alternatively, if you’re staying with us, you’ll never be short of activities to get stuck in to.

 

Planet Leisure is the ultimate child’s retreat – from laser tag and a ten-pin bowling alley to trampoline parks and roller skating, this is the epitome of family fun. Adventure Point is another fantastic indoor soft play area for the family, featuring a rainforest themed play frame, 6ft high climbing coconut tree and indoor sports. This is a great way to keep your family fit whilst having an exciting day out!

 

For the artists out there, Create and Paint is the place to go. Located in Darlington, you can get stuck in to ceramic painting, foam clay and teddy making – whether you’re polishing up your artistic skills or simply going along for fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. All of this can be followed by a refreshing lunch in the café.

 

 

If you like to solve a mystery, the Escape Rooms might be the day out for you. You and your family can transform into detectives for the day and attempt to solve the puzzle – the ultimate way to test family teamwork! Or, if you’re looking to do something more active, take on one of the climbing walls at Durham climbing centre. With junior to more advanced walls to choose from, this activity is perfect for all the family.  

 

Those animal lovers amongst you might just fancy a day trip to the Big Sheep and Little Cow Farm. You’ll have the chance to feed and hold animals ranging from chinchillas and goats to llamas and donkeys before learning all about running a farm! For a more educational day out, head on over to Richmond Castle where you’ll gain a true insight into the story behind these historical ruins. Great for kids, this trip involves an interactive exhibition as well as the Cockpit Garden, which is great for a relaxing stroll.

 

After the end of a busy day, what better way to wind down than with a hearty dinner? With local, high quality ingredients, you’ll be finishing your day off in the most sumptuous way possible. For a delicious feast at Headlam, see more here.
