Leicester's National Space Centre takes you on a journey into outer space where you can see the rockets and space capsules which have made history over the past fifty years.
You can enjoy the wonders of Britain' a canal system at Foxton Locks as well as mighty castles such as Rockingham and Belvoir, you can experience the wonders of gliding at the Soaring Centre and relive the history of motor racing at Mallory Park.
A trip just across the county borders will take you to one of Britain's finest zoos, Twycross, and there's the unrivalled beauty of Britain's smallest county, Rutland, where the vast and attractive expanse of Rutland Water offers all kinds of opportunities for sailing, watersports and various other family fun packages.
There's Twinlakes Park for a great day out, and history lovers will thrill to the atmospheric Bosworth Battlefield where Richard III, in Shakespeare's words, cried 'My Kingdom for a horse!'
Sports fans will also be fully occupied with golf, plenty of soccer thrills with Leicester City Football Club and cricket at Leicester County Cricket, and if you fancy a flutter, a day at Leicester races is fun for all the family.
