Afternoon all, This isn't entirely football related. I'm coming down for the Quarter final on the Sunday, with my 9 year old daughter. I'm thinking about coming down on the Saturday and stopping over. Is there anything around Hull that I could do with the bairn on a Saturday night? Any advice will be greatly appreciated
First thoughts are one of the cinemas, or, and it's depends on your taste, but the ice hockey can be entertaining and it's not too far from the stadium, and they're at home at 18:30.
I suppose Saturday night in most cities isn’t geared toward accommodating children but I’d come over in the day-time and take her round The Museums’ Quarter and also visit The Deep.
The Deep is definitely worth a visit, but it shuts at 6.00pm(last entry 5.00pm). http://www.thedeep.co.uk/ Most of the museums and galleries shut at 5.00pm, which is a shame, as she'd probably like the Streetlife Museum. The Ice Arena is a good shout, there's nothing suitable on at Hull Truck Theatre, but there's Agatha Cristie's Mousetrap on at the New Theatre... http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/pls/portal..._HULL NEW THEATRE/SPRING BROCHURE 2014_AW.PDF
Good fun, especially for kids..but I may have cocked up as I looked at the wrong date. I'll try and get better info if 83 needs it.
Daytime - Museums(they're free), parks, marina, shopping, the deep. Evening - Cinema, Ice Hockey Just a standard city, nothing out of the ordinary really
defo the ice hockey - Sheffield bring a massive crowd as always and it certainly wont feel like ur at a Hull game also Fort Paull and the surrounding walks is good for maybe the sunday morning the foreshore walk past the bridge too - inc Little Switz , is free and on a nice day is a good killer of time if you was around a bit longer , i could also suggest walks around Spurn and the old WW2 costal defenses at Kilnsea (though its an hour away )
Plenty of European cities have centres you can take kids of that age around with places you would feel safe and be welcomed for a drink and a meal until quite late. A shame the centre of our vibrant gateway to Europe isn't like that.
Surely that's a good thing? Hull's a hard city, not a soft wine bar type place full of sitting down flasker types. A proper city the way it should be.
