A magical village, HUGE slides and a 26m play structure… would you make the drive from Harrogate? 👀✨

Where ? 📍 Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden

👧 AGE?
Best suited to children 11 and under.

💰 PRICE?
2026 online prices are £16.65 per adult and £16.65 per child aged 3–16. Under 3s are free. A combined Lilidorei + Alnwick Garden ticket is £20.30 adult / £16.65 child, so the combined ticket is worth considering if you want to make a full day of it.

⏰ HOW LONG?
They recommend allowing at least 1.5 hours for Lilidorei, although you can stay within your booked session.

👶 GOOD FOR LITTLE ONES?
Yes — there are things for different ages, but the higher you climb on the giant structure, the more challenging it becomes. Children need to be accompanied by an adult.

🌧️ WEATHER?
It's outdoors, so waterproofs and sensible shoes are definitely worth packing!

💦 WATERFALLS NEAR HARROGATE TO VISIT WITH LITTLE ONES 💦

Fancy a little waterfall adventure? 🌿 Here are some of my picks within easy reach of Harrogate — with a little 👶 rating so you know which ones are toddler-friendly!

💦 West Burton Falls – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Easy to get to and perfect for little legs.

💦 Linton Falls – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Easy to see and great to combine with a wander around Grassington.

💦 Harmby Waterfall – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Short walk but uneven in places — carrier recommended.

💦 Aysgarth Falls – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stunning, but some paths are steep/uneven.

💦 Janet’s Foss – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Magical woodland walk, but definitely a carrier rather than buggy.

💦 Stainforth Force – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful but rocky, so keep little ones close.

💦 Hardraw Force – ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Not a huge walk, but uneven ground in places.

💦 Ingleton Waterfalls Trail – ⭐⭐
Gorgeous but a proper hike with lots of steps — better for older kids or carriers.

⭐ Best for toddlers:West Burton Falls
✨ Most magical:Janet’s Foss
🏔️ Best big waterfall: Aysgarth Falls
🥾 Best for older kids: Ingleton

⚠️ Always take care around waterfalls — rocks can be slippery and water levels can rise quickly after rain.

THIS FOR YOUR NEXT DAY OUT 💦

POV: you’re a mum and someone invites you to Monk Park Farm … WITHOUT THE KIDS 👀🐷

( gifted invite) And honestly… I was intrigued 😂

I’ve been to Monk Park Farm plenty of times with Noah, but I’d never thought of it as a night out — until I was invited to their adult-only evening!

So this is the start of my Mum’s Night Out series 💃🏼

Because yes, I spend a LOT of time finding things to do with the kids… but what about things for us?!

I’ll be trying out nights out, restaurants, events and different things to do around Harrogate — basically finding out where we can go when the kids aren’t invited 😂

And this one was such a fun first one!

Monk Park Farm, but make it adult-only 🐷🍹

Where should I try next? 👀
