Favourite familyfriendly attractions in Sunderland.

Carla Jade Wright: The beach in summer (we do live in England so that’s not very often, although as an adult I enjoy the walks there throughout the year, my 12 year olds worst nightmare. Seldons arcades and soft play when she was younger.There isn’t really a great deal of family attractions when your kids hit a certain age in Sunderland.

Catherine Emms: Sea front, the museum and the people.

Tricia Bernstein: Roker and Seaburn beaches, the marina, riverside walk, Roker park, Herrington park, Penshaw Monument, Barnes Park, etc.

Meg Barber: Beaches, parks and Penshaw monument.

Kelly Hopper:

Washington Wetland Centre is a fantastic attraction and one of my personal favourites, The National Glass Centre is great to kill a few hours and you can always do the sculpture trail along the marina, Roker and Seaburn Beach and lots of gorgeous parks to choose from. Fulwell windmill is now doing Tours which is fab by the way, we also have Down at the Farm.

Tom Booth: Parks, beaches, footpaths, river. All you need. All good. (take a coat.)

Geo Hutchinson: Beach, pier, Winter Gardens.

Joseph Turpin: Roker, Seaburn and New Herrington.

Joan Eggleston: Roker,Seaburn, Herrington Park and Cox Green.

Emily Hough: Tumbles (in Milfield) is by far the best soft play in Sunderland.

Luna Moon: I could of said the beach but Seaham is much better and half the price of anything in Roker or Seaburn. Better sea front food and little quirky shops. Always some kind of entertainment for the kids. Excellent parks and facilities a tiny little seaside town puts my hometown of Sunderland to shame.

Damian Surtees: Sea front, South Hylton to Fatfield Riverside walk, Wearmouth bridge to Roker Riverside past the glass centre.
