But with Tier 2 restrictions currently in place across the Wakefield district, some of the usual activities might not be an option. We've put together a list of 14 of the best half term activities across Wakefield and the Five Towns this October. Some attractions may need to be booked in advance.
13. The Louisa Fennell Walking Trail
Unveiled last year, The Louisa Fennell Walking Trail offers a walk through the city as it was more than 100 years ago. The walking trail provides a glimpse of the city centre through the eyes of watercolour artist Louisa Fennell. Visit forgottenwomenwake.com for a map of the route.
14. Tropical World
Tucked away in Roundhay Park, Tropical World is home to a huge selection of exciting and exotic animals. The site is open from 10am to 4pm each day, with a reduced capacity, and tickets must be booked in advance.
