Families visiting Sheffield will find a wide array of indoor and outdoor activities to keep the children entertained. Sheffield's museums offer a range of fun activities and hands-on learning experiences for kids of all ages. Best of all, admission to most city museums is free. Families can find out about Sheffield's history through interactive displays at places like Kelham Island Museum or head a little out of town to find animals, birds, reptiles, and insects from all over the world.
Food-wise, you'll find family-friendly cafés offering snacks and sandwiches in many city parks and gardens, and in most of Sheffield's museums. Not many bars and restaurants in the city centre go out of their way to welcome families, but you'll find some excellent exceptions. Follow us through a selection of fun places in Sheffield to take your kids.
