West Yorkshire is the ninth county with the most activities for kids in the UK, according to findings by Outdoor Toys.
Outdoor Toys' research factored in attractions like amusement parks, water parks, zoos, and aquariums, to gauge which locations would make for the best days out during the summer holidays.
The metric used to rank counties was density of activities, meaning counties with fewer activities overall could and did beat out those with more total activities.
West Yorkshire had 259 activities in total, which equates to 33 activities per 100 square kilometres.
Bristol took the top spot in Outdoor Toys' list, as although it offers fewer activities - 81 in total - they are densely packed, with 193 attractions per 100 square kilometres to give families plenty of options at a convenient distance.
Merseyside claimed the second place with 87 attractions per 100 square kilometres.
It had a total of 217 family-friendly activities.
The Isle of Wight secured third place, offering 79 attractions per 100 square kilometres and 119 activities in total.
The top ten was completed by the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Greater London, Cornwall, Kent, West Yorkshire, and Dorset.
Cornwall boasted the highest number of total activities at 563.
Devon was the leading county for zoos and aquariums, with a grand total of 14 - followed by West Yorkshire with 13.
