We’ve rounded up some of the best things to do in and around Sheffield this February half term to keep the whole family entertained.
There are lots of fun and engaging activities to take part in, from a dinosaur-themed trail at the Tropical Butterfly House to a workshop about Whales at Weston Park Museum, plus many others.

Visit Magna Science Adventure Centre during the half term for Magna Mayhem - an indoor world of adventure where kids can bounce, boing, jump, dance, hop, slide and let off steam. This indoor play facility is aimed at under 11s, but children up to 15 are welcome. There is also an under 5s session just for the little ones and a special educational needs session for anyone who prefers a calmer environment.
