Things to do with kids in Liverpool and Merseyside

Liverpool, in the North-West of England, is one of the UK’s best-known cities, famous for the Beatles, the River Mersey and its two football clubs – Liverpool and Everton.

The city boasts the biggest collection of museums and galleries outside London, so there’s no shortage of things to do with kids in Liverpool and Merseyside.

Explore Liverpool’s seafaring past at the Merseyside Maritime Museum, find out about one of the world’s most famous bands at The Beatles Experience, or blast off on a journey through space and time at Spaceport.

Taking a ferry across the Mersey is an unmissable experience, followed by a stroll around the Royal Albert Dock. In the surrounding area, you’ll find lots of family-friendly attractions, including Chester Zoo, the Model Railway Village in Southport, the interactive Mattel Play! with its three hands-on play zones, and the all-weather Dunes Splash World.

Unsurprisingly, for such a major city, there are tons of things to do for families of all ages. If you're in search of entertainment for your baby or toddler, check out our guide to the best baby activities in Liverpool, from drop-in baby groups to music and movement sessions. If you're looking for inspiration for your child's next birthday, we can help with that, too: we've rounded up details of the many entertainers and venues offering kids' parties in the area.

We've also put together listings for car boot sales taking place in Liverpool, so whether you've got loads of pre-loved stuff to get rid of or just love to get your hands on a bargain, search our directory today to see whats on near you.
