Best Museums in York for Kids
"When I said Jorvik was York’s best-known attraction I should probably have said its equal best-known attraction because the National Railway Museum is also very famous. And, because it’s just a five-minute walk from the train station, it’s an obvious first port of call for many people. Tracing the history of rail travel around the world, this museum holds over a million different exhibits and if your kids are train buffs they will absolutely LOVE it here."

It has attracted a quite frankly jaw-dropping list of the world’s biggest DJs, with the likes of Joey Negro, Nightmares on Wax, Octave One, DJ Format, Derrick May and Marshall Jefferson all having manned the decks in this intimate but atmospheric venue that’s a world away from where you’d usually see the biggest names in the business.

"This much-beloved watering hole is the sister bar to one of Leeds’ oldest pub, Whitelocks. Whilst the former is the place to head for the more classic ales, Turks Head is the more modern choice, with a plethora of interesting craft ales, gins, and cocktails. The beer garden which sits in the alleyway just off Briggate is lively and atmospheric all year round, with plenty of seating, and canopies with heaters for those unpredictable British summer days."
