Family Attractions and Days Out in Derby and Derbyshire
 

Welcome to Family Days Out in Derby and Derbyshire, we have listed below a number of places to visit and things to do while in our beautiful County. Including several Theme Parks, most notably Alton Towers which strictly speaking is in Staffordshire, but we share so much with our neighbours we thought we ought to include it here.

As well as the delightful Peak District we are very proud of our Family/Children's Farms and outdoor activities, plus for those of you interested in the "fast life" we have Donington Park and Uttoxeter Races.
