The 34 Best Family Documentaries
34 documentaries
Documentaries to put on with the kids: nature, space and kids winning at things.
Documentaries you can put on with the kids and not worry. Anything with David Attenborough is the obvious start, and Microcosmos makes a meadow full of insects look like another planet. Apollo 11 might be the best way to show anyone the moon landing, and Spellbound will have the whole family rooting for a kid at a spelling bee.
