Family Things to do in Cambridge with toddlers, children and teenagers
Whether you are resident or a first time visitor, find some ideas of family things to in Cambridge. This website was created by a parent with two children. Fed up of trawling the internet, she thought it would be handy to have the information in one place. After all, being a parent is busy enough!
From toddlers to teens, Cambridge has a lot to offer families. It is not just a place of beautiful architecture and learning. You can also kayak on the River Cam, splash about at Lammas Land paddling pool, cycle along the genome, visit some of the countries best museums, play vintage computer games or climb to the top of a tower. Whatever you’d like to do, find some inspiration here.
