19 Best Sightseeing Attractions In Nottinghamshire

Kitty Cafe Nottingham is filed under this heading and is the obvious outlier, rated 5 by visitors and built around animals at floor level rather than anything to be looked at from behind a rope. Beyond that, the pickings are slim for that age. Newark Air Museum at least gives a small child large objects to walk between, which is more than a minster or an abbey will offer them on a wet afternoon.

The National Holocaust Centre and Museum handles the hardest subject on this page, and nothing in our records speaks to the ages it is pitched at. That is a decision for a parent who knows their own child, made after reading what the centre itself says about which ages it is set up for. It is not a stop to add casually to a day of other things, and it deserves a conversation before and after rather than being folded into an afternoon out.

Partly the county, mostly the filing. Nottinghamshire's family attractions are spread across other headings on this site — farms, parks, activity centres — and what lands under sightseeing is whatever was judged to be primarily a thing you go and look at. So nineteen is a count of one label, not a census of the county. If this page looks thin for the weekend you have in mind, try the county's farms, parks and activity centre pages next.

Eleven of the nineteen have indoor space recorded, and the reliable ones are the covered ones: Papplewick Pumping Station is a building full of machinery, MeetspaceVR Nottingham is a room, and Newark Air Museum has hangar space alongside its outdoor aircraft. Southwell Minster and Newstead Abbey both hold indoor and outdoor flags, so rain shortens those visits rather than cancelling them.
