Things to do with kids in Bradford

Bradford may be known as the curry capital of the UK, with over 200 Asian restaurants, but there’s much more to the city than Indian food (something you’ll be glad to know if you have a fussy eater!).

The West Yorkshire city lies at the foothills of the Pennines, and you’ll find plenty of things to do with kids in Bradford. The National Science and Media Museum is a great day out for budding scientists, while future inspectors can test their detective skills at the Police Museum.

City Park features the UK’s largest water feature, with an impressive array of fountains and laser lighting effects. Sporty types can watch the match at Bradford City FC or try our their skating skills at the Ice Arena.

There are lots of great options for rainy days, including an IMAX cinema, bowling and Funzy, an inflatable theme park. If you're looking for things to do with tiny tots, check out our guide to baby activities in the Bradford area, and if you're planning your child's next birthday, we're here to help with ideas for brilliant kids' parties .

Plus, the local countryside is the perfect setting for family walks and bike rides on Illkley Moor and in the Pennines, not to mention regular car boot sales where you can satisfy your thrifty side.
