5 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in Wrexham (Wrecsam)
I'm still adding to this list, so keep checking back, please get in touch if you've got any hidden gems to recommend, or if you have a picture to replace any that I'm missing (ie the places that have words). As a thank you, I'll send a 20% money off voucher to spend in the shop for anything that gets used.
I've tried to make sure that all the details on here are up to date, but please do double check on the websites I've linked to before you travel in case anything has changed. Although I'd love to be able to travel to every place on here, time and practicalities dictate that I've sourced a lot of information from 3rd parties so some information might be incorrect (Please let me know if you spot anything that is so that I can amend it).
Especially important: double check parking costs to avoid any nasty surprises on a day out that was supposed to be cheap, and obviously, be careful if you're visiting places with kids, especially where the terrain is dangerous (ruins, cliffs, beaches, slippy paths etc).
Happy adventuring!
Split into 2 either side of the River Alyn, the Gwersyllt side has a visitor centre, cafe, toilets. The Llay side has a kids playground, and a nature reserve. There are woodland, grassland and riverside trails.
A great place to learn some local history. This museum is great for kids, including a specially designed space for under 5s, the i-zone, costume corner, and other activities to aid learning through play.
The visitor centre and toilets are closed, but the countryside is open for exploration. There is a picnic area, and playground next to ancient woodland, walks to waterfalls, beautiful landscape, and carvings to keep an eye out for.
An astonishing feat of engineering, the acquaduct was completed in 1805 and carries boats 126 feet above the river. You can walk over the aqueduct on the path, or pay for a boat ride.
As well as a country park, with stunning views of the local viaduct and aqueduct, it's also a farm park with small animals to see including rabbits, sheep, goats, and pigs. There's also a playground, and a man-made beach.
You know what the kids would love to be filling in as you're exploring new places? An epic activity pack! And it should be filled with easy activity ideas, and stickers, and personalised!
