Things to do with kids in Chester and Cheshire

There’s a great choice of things to do with kids in Chester and Cheshire.

The walled city of Chester is a brilliant place to spend time with children, rich in Roman, Viking and Anglo-Saxon history. There's lots going on, indoors and out, ranging from baby activities like yoga and swimming to seasonal car boot sales where you can search for treasures amongst other people's trash.

The Dewa Roman Experience will take your family back in time, with brilliant interactive exhibits where kids can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of Roman Chester. Don’t miss Chester Castle and the Roman Amphitheatre.

Other ways to see the city and its surroundings include open-top bus tours and river cruises.

Chester Zoo is a must-do: it’s the UK’s number one zoo, and home to over 500 animal species.

The Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port will also appeal to kids who love nature, and if your child is into engineering, they’ll be fascinated by the nearby Anderton boat lift.

There’s plenty to do on rainy days, too, including escape rooms and a trampoline park: great venues for children's parties, or for burning energy on a dreary weekend.
