A great value day out with Tyne & Wear Metro
Our May half term events are part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities.
Make your Ways to Play adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro and/or Ferry. Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro and the Shields Ferry with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it's even more affordable.
To find out more about kids go free on the Metro, visit the Nexus website.
Ways to Play is sponsored by Tyne and Wear Metro.
