Family Friendly

Many of Devon's attractions are particularly family-friendly - and great fun for all.

For many, making sure that children and their families have a great day out is the reason they open their doors every morning. These are your theme parks, farm attractions, zoos, aquariums, parks ... they do all they can to make sure that all their visitors have a great time.

Others though, despite not seeming to be 'aimed' at children, are still very good at keeping their smaller visitors happy and amused. They often go above and beyond to make sure that there's something for them too - in museums, galleries and historic buildings.

Adventure parks

Devon loves to entertain its visitors and locals - which means we have lots of adventure, theme and water parks: large, small, quirky, award-winning - and plenty that are somewhere in between! More

Animals

We have lots of attractions that wildlife enthusiasts will love. From the large - such as the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, and Paighton Zoo - to the smaller, all are great at educating and entertaining on the subject of native or exotic animals or marine life. More

Castles and Stately Homes

The opportunities at a castle or fort for imaginative play and learning can’t be underestimated – making a visit to one of Devon’s castles, forts or historical houses a brilliant choice for a family day out that pleases everyone. Find castles and stately homes

Parks and gardens

Many of Devon’s parks and gardens put lots of thought and effort into providing play and learning opportunities for children – a visit to one of these is a great outdoorsy day for those who also appreciate nearby facilities (and tea and cake!). More

Get active

The family that plays together, stays together … and time spent as a family doing something that challenges you all is time well spent indeed. Check out opportunities in Devon to take part in watersports and other activities.
