00:00 Half term can be a great time to explore the city as a family,

00:05 however, finding activities when the weather isn't always in your

00:09 favour is no mean feat. It can also be pretty expensive. We have a

00:13 round-up of activities which hopefully won't break the bank whilst

00:17 keeping the whole family entertained. Royal Albert Dock Liverpool is

00:22 welcoming the return of Fiesta Fire, bringing a spectacle of fire and

00:27 light to the Martin Luther King Jr. plateau with choreographed fire

00:31 shows, freestyle fire performers from Bring the Fire Project. Showing

00:36 off their pyro skills throughout the week, expect dazzling martial arts

00:39 inspired routines, flaming sword fights and more. That runs until

00:43 Saturday 17th February. This February half term the Palm House hosts

00:48 FebFest, a week packed full of events. They've also launched a brand new

00:53 family trail which is available any time but on Thursday 15th February

00:57 along with the trail there are also some short children's stories and

01:01 craft activities on offer too. All National Museum's Liverpool venues

01:06 are free to enter as well as permanent collections that have various

01:09 workshops on offer. You can discover objects from around the globe,

01:13 explore outer space and meet live creatures at the World Museum.

01:17 Paintings, sculptures and decorative art are on display at the Walker

01:21 Gallery. Learn about the city's history at the Museum of Liverpool.

01:25 Explore the house of George Holt and his family, a Victorian merchant at

01:29 Sudley House. Plus discover Liverpool's seafaring past and find out about

01:32 life at sea at the Maritime Museum. A place where your children are free to

01:37 splash, squirt, splatter and shoot paint at a wall and you don't even have

01:41 to clean up after. Splash Art is inviting parents and grandparents to

01:45 bring their kids aged 3-12 along during half term. The hour long session

01:49 includes a dart art game and a spin art experience as an opportunity to

01:53 blast each other in the dark with neon paint filled guns. They can even take

01:56 their art home with them at the end. There are no shortage of green spaces

02:00 in Liverpool. Just don't forget to wrap up and wear some footwear you don't

02:04 mind getting a little muddy. From Sefton, Calderstones and Croxeth to name

02:08 just a few it can be a great way to kill time for free.

02:12 Kids go free at Nosy Safari this half term until Thursday 29th February.

02:18 You can discover the pride of African lions, crumpet, the Congo buffalo,

02:22 calf and the cheeky baboons who were all stars of Channel 4's Secret Life

02:26 of the Safari. If you're worried about the baboons causing damage to your

02:30 vehicle in the monkey jungle there is a car friendly route plus the safari's

02:35 baboon bus is also available to ride on. As well as costing nothing to enter

02:40 and explore, Liverpool Cathedral have some themed arts and craft sessions

02:45 during half term. Each family friendly session lasts up to 45 minutes.

02:50 There are three sessions throughout the day though these must be pre-booked

02:53 and each person is required to have a ticket.

02:57 We do hope that has given you some ideas for a fun filled half term no matter

03:02 your budget.
