York Minster

💜 FREE ENTRY for York Residents* (see qualifying postcodes below – it’s wider than you think!) 💜

York’s iconic Minster has several indoor trails for children of all ages, so a perfect rainy-day option for the family!

Look for shapes, patterns and colours as you journey around York Minster with our STEM trails: Maths Quest, Light Quest and Nature Quest. Perfect to keep little brains busy!  Or follow the Dragon Quest Trail to help legendary knight St George to find all the dragons in York Minster. The Minster Detectives and Minster Navigators trails are also great for KS2 and KS3 children respectively.

Trails can be collected from the Welcome Desks or downloaded from the Learning Resources section of our website here.

Don’t forget to borrow a Little Explorer Backpack to help you on your quest!  More information on the backpack contents and on visiting York Minster with families can be found here.
