Family attractions

Carry all the family away on the magical merry-go-round of Devon's family attractions! Ride a miniature railway, take on heart-stopping slides and rides, cuddle a baby rabbit or time-travel back into the past - you'll discover more to do in Devon than there are days in the year.

If your taste is for the fast and furious, seek out one of Devon's superb adventure centres to test your nerve on assault courses, go kart racing, capture a pirate ship or venture into space.

For the fascination of the miniature, try Babbacombe Model Village, capturing scenes from England's past and present. A visit to Morwellham Quay will carry you right back to the England of the 1860s. Dress up in authentic replica costumes and you'll blend right in with your surroundings when you visit the copper mine and historic farmyard.

Have an adventure at one of Devon's theme parks such as The Milky Way, where you can also see falconry displays and ferret shows, Crealy Great Adventure Park where you can ride the super-soaking Tidal Wave Terror!, Woodlands Leisure Park for a go on the 500m Tobbogan Run, or The Big Sheep where you can watch the famous sheep racing.

Indulge your passion for animals at a Devon farm centre such as Pennywell Farm, making friends with lambs, calves and fluffy chicks. Or watch displays of fearsome birds of prey and flying ferrets!

You prefer sea creatures? Then National Marine Aquarium with its towering reefs and teeming coral seas is for you.
