Take the Peak Tram or a bus up for skyline views and a relaxed walk around the Peak Galleria—great morning activity when light is soft and crowds are moderate.
If kids have energy, Ocean Park is a large marine/amusement park open ~10:00–18:00; otherwise explore markets for quick souvenirs and street food. Choose based on departure time and family energy.
