Free Things to Do in Hull With Kids

[Wilko79]

Kids are expensive enough without having to spend a fortune on entertainment. Thankfully Hull’s got loads of free stuff to keep them occupied. Here’s our family’s tried and tested list:
Hull Maritime Museum — Free entry, recently refurbished, and the kids love the whale skeletons and the fishing heritage exhibits. Educational without being boring.
Ferens Art Gallery — Also free. They’ve got some impressive paintings and the kids’ activity trails make it accessible for younger ones. The building itself is worth seeing.
East Park — Hull’s biggest park with a splash pad in summer, a small animal enclosure, playgrounds, and a boating lake. You can easily spend half a day here without spending a penny.
Humber Bridge Country Park — Free parking, free entry, lovely woodland walks and a brilliant viewpoint. Pack a picnic and you’ve got a full day out for the cost of some sandwiches.
Hull City Centre Street Art Trail — Since City of Culture there’s loads of murals and public art dotted around the city centre. Make a game of finding them all with the kids.
Pearson Park — Beautiful Victorian park in the Avenues area. The conservatory has been restored and the playground is decent. A real hidden gem.

East Park splash pad in summer is an absolute lifesaver. Our kids would live there if we let them. I’d add the Streetlife Museum next to the Maritime Museum — also free, and the recreated old streets and vehicles are brilliant for kids. They can climb on old trams and explore Victorian shops. Our lot ask to go back every few weeks.
