Itinerary Schedule
North Yorkshire Water Park, Scarborough
This is water sport heaven with lots of water-based activities to try plus there is lots to do on dry land, too. The Wipeout and Warrior Aquaparks have giant inflatables, trampolines, rockers and swings and Splash Kingdom is perfect for smaller children.
Try kayaking and paddleboarding or have a relaxing ride in a pedalo. Dry land activities include a climbing wall, laser tag and escape rooms. You can also enjoy some morning refreshments at the onsite cafe.
Whitby Abbey
Head north from Scarborough to Whitby where you can climb the 199 steps to the impressive abbey. Run around the ruins playing hide and seek and take in some amazing views of the harbour and the sea.
Learn about the history of the abbey in the museum and join in with fun and games. Over the summer holidays children can take part in Count Dracula’s treasure hunt.
Whitby Coastal Cruises
Hop on a Whitby Coastal Cruises yellow boat for a 20-minute seafaring journey leaving from Whitby harbour. Feel the wind in your hair and the sea spray on your face and see if you can spot any marine life breaking the surface.
There are regular sailings so you can just turn up. It’s a great experience for all the family and under 5s go free.
Fish and chips for tea
Enjoy the scenic drive from Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay and finish your day with some scrummy fish and chips from the Fish Box. You can choose from all your favourites and there is a special children’s menu too.
It’s takeaway only so you can enjoy eating them in the fresh sea air with amazing coastal views. What a great way to end your seaside adventures on a family day out.
