Offering a good mix of indoor and outdoor fun for all the family, there are lots of great things to do in Middlesborough.
There’s more to Stewart Park than just a swing set. Within the 120 acres of woodland, there are lakes, adventure play areas, nature trails, outdoor table tennis, mini-golf and the chance to get up close to a number of different animals such as llamas, deer, peacocks, guinea pigs, cattle and friendly goats!
Animal lovers are catered for on a Middlesborough family day out with Newham Grange Country Farm, which features more of your favourite furry farmyard friends and the chance to explore farm life further as you walk around the fields and take a ride in a tractor.
Learn a bit more about the local area in either the Middleborough Institute of Modern Art or the Dorman Museum. Both hold perse and eclectic exhibitions that are guaranteed to keep even young minds occupied and intrigued, as you wander through prehistoric times, discover contemporary art and the magic of water!
There are several other indoor activities for those looking for something a little more action-based. Try rock climbing at Rock Antics, enter Our Funhouse for some soft play or take a ride around the tracks at Teeside Karting Centre.
