Set in 10 acres of beautiful woodland and gardens, The Sculpture Park displays over 600 contemporary and modern sculptures, with works by Henry Moore, Damien Hirst, and many others. It's a wonderfully interactive experience for children, who can touch most exhibits (except fragile ones). The park features a dedicated children's play area with wooden climbing frames, a storytelling chair, and a mini maze. There are plenty of picnic benches and a café serving hot and cold drinks, cakes, and light lunches. Paths are pushchair and wheelchair friendly, though some areas can get muddy after rain (wellies recommended). Highlights include the 'Giant Faces', the 'Burning Man' sculpture, and the 'Dinosaur Corner'. Allow at least 2-3 hours.

Clothing
Wear wellies for muddy paths
Paths are pushchair-friendly but can get muddy after rain, so waterproof footwear is essential for families visiting in wetter weather.
Best timing
Plan for 2-3 hours minimum
Allow at least 2-3 hours to explore the 10 acres properly and let children enjoy the play areas without feeling rushed.
Buggy
All-terrain buggy recommended
Whilst pushchairs are welcome on the paths, an all-terrain buggy handles the woodland terrain better, especially after wet weather.
