Kids & Families

Morgan the Archaeologist

There are plenty of places to go and things to do with children of all ages in Newcastle.

Apart from the large open spaces of the Exhibition and Leazes Parks there are three fascinating museums, a medieval Castle, and a world famous football/soccer ground.

For a perfect family day out, a trip to Ouseburn could include an urban farm, a unique children's bookshop/museum and some fascinating 19th tunnels.
