Wythenshawe Park is set in 109 hectares of parkland in the South of Manchester. There are woodlands, flowers, open grasslands and more to explore all year round. It's open dawn to dusk daily and it's a great place to get the kids to burn off some energy! 

There are three Grade II buildings within it's boundaries if you wanted to explore somewhere indoors. Including North Lodge, the Stature of Oliver Cromwell and Wythenshawe Hall. On site, you'll find the community farm. Its open seven days a week from 11:30am - 4pm. The farm gives children a chance to learn all about where food comes from. There are cows, sheep, goats, ducks and more and there's also baby animals on site! 

If you wanted to do something active, then the pump track is a fun way to build up your skills and burn off some energy! Practice makes perfect, so once you build up your skills you'll be able to get creative with your abilities. 

You'll also find the Horticultural Centre and there are permanent displays including the safari walk which features tropical plants. The outdoor area has lots of beautiful gardens too which provides a relaxing place to go. There's also a large pong and picnic area. 

If you love bees then there is a Bee Club that meets every Saturday! They're dedicated to promoting safe and fun bee-keeping with regular hands-on activities all year round, and new members are always welcome!
