What are they interested in? These are some suggestions but give me an idea what they like and I could come up with some more.

Eden project - near St Austell - absolutely amazing.

Also check out the local surf schools for a leson or two.

Take them for brekkie at Jamie Olivers 15 - head up the coast a bit to watergate bay   http://www.fifteencornwall.co.uk/

Also The Big Sheep if you fancy that far. Will get lots of oohs and aahs, but also a good few hours entertainment. We also liked the steam railway trip, which took us to a nice cream tea.

Bedruthan Steps is nearby if you like scenery and aren't scared of heights. Lanhydrock is really fascinating if you like looking round late Victorian Country Houses.  Heligan is not too far if you like gardens.

A drive onto Bodmin Moor is always a must for us, the Daphne Du Maurier Museum and a curiousity museum all sited there, very interesting and a nice pint in the historic Jamaica Inn.  All very interesting and educational.

Went last year with 13 / 15 year old. Enjoyed Eden. Surfing great fun. Flambards really aimed at younger kids, but our two quite enjoyed it (got free entry with Tesco Clubcard vouchers). Aquarium in Newquay OK.

The castle at Tintagel is good. We went on a misty autumn day - very eerie!

Lapper Valley Railway

Dairylands

Treasure Park

Boscastle

Perranporth

Padstow

Mevagissey

Flambards

All places we've visited and enjoyed, and will no doubt be visiting again this summer.

One I do think is over-rated as advertised as the best day out of the week is Crealy's.
