The school summer holidays are now in full swing as children enjoy a well-deserved break from the classroom.
This is the time they will remember forever, which makes it the perfect opportunity to make exciting memories as a family.
However, as the six weeks tick by, it can be tough to consistently come up with new ideas for a day out.
That’s why we’ve come up with a list of 11 neighbourhoods across Leeds which are filled with fun and affordable activities.
With activities including museum escapades, nature trails, and trips to the zoo, here are some of the top places to visit in summer.
