All the kid-friendly things to do in Carlisle, combined with rich history and stunning architecture make for a great family day out.
Carlisle Castle is well worth a visit. It has been a staple part of the city for nine centuries, which means it has a rich history to share with visitors of all ages. Children will love the stories of its life as a working fortress as they discover the castle through a range of guided tours and fancy dress opportunities!
In this town, you get two impressive landmarks for the price of one! The Carlisle Cathedral is a small but perfectly formed building over 900 years old and packed full of history. Children will love the ceiling full of stars and the old-fashioned dolls dressed as kings and queens of the past, which can be played with.
Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is an award-winning attraction, home to an extensive historic collection that depicts Roman Carlisle. Full of fantastic, interactive exhibitions, visitors can immerse themselves into Roman life during Carlisle family days out.
The town also has a range of indoor and outdoor activities for families, such as indoor climbing centre Eden Rock, Magic Castle Adventure Playground – the medieval-themed soft play and Bitts Park where families can play a bit of crazy golf, board the pirate ship and cool off in the seasonal splash park.
