If you had the chance to visit only one of those 2 museums, which one would you choose?
We (2 adults with 2 sons 14 and 24) are staying 2 nights in York and could do the detour to Leeds on the day we leave for Edinburgh or stay the morning in York for the Railway museum.
+9I haven’t been to the Royal Armouries. Both are very specific subjects though, so I guess it’s more down to which is more interesting to your group.
I would think both will be pretty boring for anyone who’s not interested.
The Railway museum has a massive time advantage, since it’s literally at York station and doesn’t require a detour. Maybe that edges it for York.
I also recommend Fairfax House and the York Castle Museum, and of course a walk around the walls. I didn’t think much of the Jorvik Viking Centre, but it might be more interesting for your 14 yo.
