Family Friendly Fun in Leeds

One of the most common reasons we hear from people looking to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Leeds, is that they’re traveling as a family and prefer more freedom than most hotel family rooms provide. Here at Residence 6, we’re a popular choice for families visiting Leeds as our 2 bedroom apartments in the city centre offer plenty of space and comfort all round, as well as a real home away from home feeling.

It’s no surprise that Leeds is such a popular choice for a family break with so much to see and do. There are plenty of options when it comes to things to do with kids in Leeds; so we’ve rounded up just a few of the most popular places to visit while you’re here:

Leeds City Museum: The museum offers a brilliant interactive and interesting day out for the whole family, including a great variety of permanent exhibits such as Egyptian mummies and Roman statues, plus many temporary exhibits that change seasonally. Admission is free.

Meanwood Valley Urban Farm: Children and grownups alike will have lots of fun at this inner-city farm, meeting the animals, strolling through the gardens and enjoying a taste of the countryside. There’s a cafe on site and it’s worth checking the website before you visit to see if there are any extra seasonal events planned during your stay.

Tropical World: Tropical World at Roundhay Park is one of the most popular garden venues in the UK, boasting the biggest collection of tropical plants outside of Kew Gardens! There’s much more to see than just plants though – children will probably be much more excited about the birds, the terrapins, the Meerkats and all the other wonderful creatures living in the park!

If you have younger children, they’ll love a visit to Tumble Town Adventure Land, whilst older kids and teenagers can enjoy a spot of ten pin bowling at MFA Bowl.

There are also plenty of family friendly restaurants to choose from in Leeds: Ecco Pizzeria has a fantastic reputation and Cafe Rouge have a wonderful kid’s menu as well as activity packs to keep little ones busy. Alternatively, you could choose to relax in your apartment after a busy day out, order in a takeaway, or cook a meal yourself in your fully equipped kitchen – the choice is yours!

A two bedroom apartment in Leeds City Centre makes a perfect base to start your family holiday, ideally located within easy reach of all sorts of fantastic attractions, restaurants and travel links. Plus of course your luxury 2 bedroom apartment provides everyone with the space and comfort they need to relax and enjoy themselves – much less chance of kids squabbling because of spending all their time cooped up in one room together!
