Cornwall always has been, and always will be, a fantastic choice for a family holiday. Apart from a day on the beach, building sandcastles, flying kites and splashing in the water, there are a host of great places to visit that will keep your little ones occupied and fascinated for hours on end.
We know from personal experience that some places are more suited for a family day out than others, so we've highlighted some of our award winning tourist attractions for you on this page.
There are also some fantastic free parks to be found in most of the towns and villages around the county. Check with the Tourist Information Centre near to where you are staying for the best recommendations.
You can also use the search box on the right to find places to go near to where you are planning to stay.
We've also put together a list of suggestions of places to go and things to do without breaking the bank or when the weather isn't at its best. There will be new sections on this added to this site in the near future.
