Things to do in Yorkshire, England: The Best Playgrounds

April 16, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Maxwell's Fun House

Reviewed By 645chloer

Hired out the play centre for my daughter's birthday party. Fab prices with ice-cream and slush. We did our own catering but everything was fantastic from start to finish at maxwells and all the kids loved it.. My daughters are 4 and 2 and both love this little play centre so much and it's perfect for their ages.

The fireworks were the BEST I’ve ever seen. They gave me free tickets to go into the enchanted forest which was brilliant. I can not believe how much new stuff you have introduced this year it was amazing. The staff are also fantastic. Well done to you all and thank you for the best bonfire night ever, can’t wait for the Christmas adventure to start, going to do the ice skating next time.

We went there with our 5 and 3 years old children and spent around three hours. They thoroughly enjoyed the bird display and wallabies and we will definitely come back during summer so we could spend a bit more time exploring.

Reviewed By stillhungry201412 - Guisborough, United Kingdom

Admission included a FREE tea or coffee for me and FREE juice AND fruit ( banana, apple, orange or cup of mixed fresh fruit) for my grandson. Big play areas, clean toilets, lots of tables and chairs, really good choice on the menu - all reasonably priced and portions are enormous compared to other soft play places we have visited. Food was all cooked fresh and the staff were really friendly and helpful, Would definitely recommend and will be going back again.
