Harewood House is the magnificent home of the Earl of Harewood, set in glorious gardens packed with family fun!

The Adventure Playground
There’s hours of challenging fun to be had on the Harewood Adventure Playground. A great way to blow off some after-school steam and just the thing for a day out with all the family! Its resemblance in summer to an animated ant-heap testifies to its popularity.

Harewood House & Below Stairs
Story books and our friendly House Guides will help you to explore the State Floor and Below Stairs there is plenty to do – Including dressing up clothes for you to pretend to be a servant in Victorian times, computer games to play, cupboards to peek in and objects for you to handle! On Weekends you can also watch the kitchen maids cooking up a treat in the Old Kitchen.

Harewood Bird Garden
Discover a world of interesting creatures in our Bird Garden. Once you are over 10 can also help the keepers feed the Penguins or Ostriches!

Yorkshire Planetarium

There’s starry nights like you have never seen at The Yorkshire Planetarium. And if deep space isn't enough, then take on The Rocket. A towering 8-metre climb with a thrilling slide to the base. It may not be science, but it's certainly fun.
Find out more about the Yorkshire Planetarium.
