Family fun at Liverpool ONE this February half term

Liverpool ONE is gearing up for a packed programme of family activities this February half term, combining shopping, entertainment and Chinese New Year celebrations in the heart of the city.

Families visiting the city centre can explore a wide range of child-friendly stores, including Pop Mart, MINISO, Kenji, LEGO and Build-a-Bear, offering toys, creative gifts and character favourites for younger visitors.

For those looking for action, Gravity MAX brings together virtual reality games, e-karting and bowling, while the Upside Down House offers a chance to capture unusual family photos.

Liverpool ONE is also marking Chinese New Year as part of city-wide celebrations. A large fire horse sculpture will take centre stage at the retail destination, alongside a themed takeover of the Chinese Liverpool sign.

A Chinese New Year parade will pass through Church Street, Liverpool ONE and the Royal Albert Dock on Saturday 14 February, with further celebrations taking place across the city, including Chinatown, over the weekend of 21 and 22 February.

Visitors can also meet one of Liverpool ONE’s best-known residents. Paddington Bear remains on College Lane near Waterstones as part of the national Paddington Visits trail, where families can stop for photos and explore the themed installation inspired by the much-loved character.

For those keen to mix fun with learning, Liverpool ONE is offering a series of educational activities throughout half term. Families can join free guided Heritage Trail tours running across February and March, or follow a self-guided audio tour and pick up maps from the Liverpool ONE Information Centre.

Younger children can take part in a self-guided Nature Trail through Chavasse Park, designed for ages four to 11, while the Old Dock Tour offers a one-hour underground exploration of Liverpool’s historic dock system.

A wide range of restaurants and cafés at Liverpool ONE are also running half term dining offers. Several venues are offering kids eat free deals, including The Real Greek, Las Iguanas, Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen, Smoke & Dough, Turtle Bay, Lunya, YO!, Barburrito and Byron.

Other venues are offering discounted children’s meals during the school break, including wagamama, Slim Chickens, Five Guys, Gordon Ramsay’s Street Pizza and ODEON.
