Yorkie Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 10 Pin Bowling - At Firth Park they block the 'gutters' and have 'ramps' for the kids to roll the ball down. A full tour on Supertram with a Big Mac treat at Meadowhall. A car trip and walk around the Rivelin Valley and Loxley Valley Nature Trails and Bradfield Dams. The Five Weirs Walk and muck about near the canal. The Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. The Museum of Fire and Police. A car trip to Castleton. The Magna Science Adventure Centre. Heeley City Farm. Just For Kids. Sheffield Bus Museum. The Tropical Butterfly House Chatsworth Adventure Playground and Farmyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t020 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Centertainment - cinema, bowling, kiddy restaurants Meadowhall - so they can spend your money Forge Dam - nice walk and a big slide that I used to enjoy as a kid PS. With there being such a big age gap you might find it tricky - the 11 year old will probably want shops and films whereas the 4 and 5 year olds will want slides and swings. Keeping everyone happy all of the time will probably not be possible. Boredom will probably kick in, by which time you might seriously reconsider my playing in the traffic suggestion.

Rich Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 You could always try the park at Millhouses as well.. Granted the Lido and the Paddling Pools are shut due to vandalism but there's still a decent sized adventure playground and a couple of other bits to play on.

Wavey Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 What about the new adventure playground at the Ski Village? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox20thc Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Graves Park is a good day out and its free!!! Theres the farm so everyone can go ahh! at the fluffy animals and stroke them and stuff. Free parking! Loads of walking to do with animals on the way, a kids playground including sandpit and a cafe with the necessary toilet facilities, and the lake. I took my kids with a packed lunch and all I spent was ice cream money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 Great posts, thanks (apart from the obvious). Keep them coming! I never knew there was so much out there - Magna, Butterflies, Canon Hall and Chatsworth look great bets. Has anyone been to the kids museum in Halifax (Eureka?) - I know it's a bit of a drive but would it be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
