Attractions and Things to Do for Children of all ages
The natural beauty of Devon may lead you to think that walking and beach-combing are the activities of choice for visitors to the county but, in fact, Devon has attractions for everyone, whatever their interests. The lovely coastline may tempt you to spend long days on the beach or walking the coastal path, but there are family attractions offering a range of activities throughout the county.
Families with children who enjoy adventure will love the exhilarating white knuckle rides found in the many theme parks or perhaps testing themselves on some of the challenging courses. Even more action-packed adventure is also on offer in some attractions in the form of laser tag or paintball amongst other activities.
Animal lovers of all ages will find plenty of opportunities to get close to all kinds of animals. There are farm parks offering encounters with many different cute animals, but those with an interest in more exotic species will enjoy visits to one of the county’s many wildlife parks or zoos where you can find out more about the natural world. There are otter sanctuaries and donkey sanctuaries to visit or your family may enjoy trekking with alpacas. There are also a number of bird of prey centres for those with an interest in falconry to enjoy. Whatever your interests, Devon is the ideal holiday destination.
Devon has coastline on both the north and south of the county and many happy hours can be spent on the beautiful beaches. Young children will enjoy paddling and exploring rock pools whilst older members of the family may like to try some of the water sports for which South Devon is renowned. Choose from paddle boarding, kayaking, windsurfing, diving and many other exhilarating activities.
The paths around this beautiful coastline provide an opportunity to get some exercise at the pace that suits your family whilst enjoying spectacular views and fresh air.
With family-friendly events planned throughout the year, there is always something different to do in Devon. There are pirate festivals, food festivals, Torbay Children’s Week in August, an Agatha Christie festival and plenty of opportunities to hear live music or see a show in one of the theatres around the county.
