The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is great. It's got walking, coffee, galleries, a small grass cutting robot, sculpture all over the place and it's free.

Getting there without a car is a bit slow. I think various buses go from the centre of Leeds, maybe the 444, it should take about an hour to get there.

If like Germaine Greer you find Bretton Hall too far off the beaten track (http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/artblog/2007/dec/17/hiddenheritage), there's also world class sculpture indoors and slap bang in the City Centre at the Henry Moore Institute. http://www.henry-moore-fdn.co.uk/matrix_engine/content.php?page_id=33

And the Titled Cafe round the corner from the Henry Moore Institute ticks the arty coffee box for the centre of town. http://www.tiledhallcafe.co.uk/

Tropical World in Roundhay (buses from the city centre - only about 15 minutes - catch a 2 or a 12 from New Briggate) is a fun and cheap way to spend an hour or so. Kids will love it and it's opposite Roundhay Park and the Roundhay Fox (a pub).
