First experience of visiting the Stadium, very well organised coming off the tram and plenty of guides ready to direct you to your turnstile. Once inside the ground plenty of toilets and food & drinks outlets. Great view of the pitch and good seats and spacing between each row. Pity England Ladies could not win the game. 👏👏 Etihad stadium

This time, I had the chance to visit the lounge of 9320. It offered hamburgers, hot dogs, fried fish, french fries, and some pies. The most impressive thing was the Asahi beer! The seats in the venue were quite comfortable. Although I'm not a fan of the City team, this venue experience was quite good.

Unbelievable stadium, but don’t expect a big atmosphere from the fans compared to other teams, except during the big games. If you’re going to a match, the leather seats between Blocks 121 and 131 are honestly the most comfortable ones you can book. Blocks 110 to 142 also have leather seats and are perfect if you want to focus on the match and enjoy the football. Just keep in mind that you’ll mostly be sitting among older fans there, so the vibe is usually calm. But if it’s your first time attending a big match and you want to feel the atmosphere, go for seats in Blocks 019 to 032 or 010 to 042. The seats there aren’t as comfortable, but you’ll definitely experience the best crowd energy when it’s a big game. If the weather looks rainy, make sure to wear a jacket or book seats higher up in the Level 100 or 300 sections for better cover. I had a great experience over the last three years in this stadium, and I really appreciate how easy it is to buy tickets through their official website. Based on what I know, there’s only one halal food option available inside the stadium, so it’s better to eat beforehand if you prefer halal meals. There’s also a small prayer room, which is a nice touch, but it would be great if they could add more prayer spaces in different stands or create a larger one that’s easier to access. That would definitely help reduce the crowding before matches or during halftime.

This was a great way to spend a few hours on the stadium tour. Funny and informative guides, really good atmosphere. Great to see where the players go about their match day rituals, through the tunnel club hospitality bar, into the gym and changing room, and right to pitch side. We even got the chance to sit in Peps chair pitch side and have photos with the man himself. Fantastic value for the price of the tickets, would highly recommend.

First time in Etihad, looks massive from outside. Managed to get the seat in a decent area, plenty of leg room compared to other stadiums I have visited. Food and beverages prices are less in comparison to other places.

Had a fantastic day out ~ brought my son here for a birthday treat and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute.. Our tour guides (Tim and Mick) were amazing and very entertaining!!! Thank you for a great day, and we will definitely be back ⚽️🏆😎

Event staff at the Stadium were tremendously helpful for a 'black tie' charity fundraising event, couldn't have gone more smoothly - apart from two emergency evacuations, fortunately an hour before the first guests arrived! (False alarms but a good test of their processes by the security teams.) And, unusually, for Manchester, it wasn't raining (jj)! Result!

Had a great time here for my friend Edens birthday. Everyone who served us that night was brilliant. I got chatting to one staff member Mit great guy but well done team

Great cocktails. I had a very good Negroni. Warm and attentive service in this atmospheric and intimate bar we stumbled on when trying to escape the rain. Highly recommended.

There is this one bartender who is a rude and arrogant. Our pints were not full and when we asked him to fill it to the bro he made sure to fill it but later made a very very arrogant comment and a rude face. Suggesting that my boyf and I were asking for something which was not usual. I have been to this this place so many times. The last time we went here we had a lovely time. Our bartender was as a lovely man!! He made sure we were look after! But this time it was comepelt opposite! A really rude guy!serving downstairs!

Beautiful discreet cocktail bar. Gorgeous decor and ambience. Makes a mean old fashioned. Really skilled staff.

Great tasting cocktails, very good ambiance plus very enthusiastic staff! The cocktails were amazing just a bit pricey but they were well worth it! The bartender even made me a customised drink when I asked for something that they would recommend for me - and that was absolutely lovely! Will definitely come back here!

My one rule is any establishment that charges an automatic service charge and then, when you pay, there are multiple auto % tip options in the hope you didn't spot the service charge on the bill is somewhere I don't revisit.

So glad we found this place. From the moment we were greeted by the quirky friendly host the staff were so friendly throughout. This is also a serious cocktail place for people who like proper cocktails from mixologists that know their stuff. Thanks for a great night!

Amazing library and is worth a visit especially since their is no admission fee (please feel free to make a donation). Although the library looks quite old, it only opened on January 1, 1900. It took ten years to build and was founded by Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her husband, John Rylands. The staff here are extremely knowledgeable, it's worth waiting for the talk they give about the building's history. They're are some very impressive works in their collection. A copy of the Gutenberg Bible, a copy of Shakespeare's famous First Folio from 1623, and many more impressive items. It is a true functioning library and you can view books in their collections. We were very impressed with the library and will come back on our next visit to Manchester.

Went to this library with my friend previously, very astonished to see the lovely architecture and design of the place. Also there is a mini bay with a modern building right beside it, yet they were blended together very well. The differences and blending of both buildings are just fascinating. Again, our visit is just magically enhanced by the rare but welcomed sunshine. Took such great photos because of it as it shows how beautiful the stained glass windows are ♥️✨

100% worth a visit, for exploring or studying, I'd recommend getting in there early though before the crowds assend upon the library. It's like stepping into a library from Hogwarts, or more accurately put, I can see where the inspiration for a set from Harry Potter came from. Free entry, but you may need to wait in line for 10-15minutes, but don't let that put you off visiting as you will not be disappointed.

One of Manchester’s best attractions to visit. Very highly maintained building with a blend of old and new architecture. The reading rooms are beautiful and so is the library upstairs. The building is well laid out. They also offer a free talk giving you insight into the history of this place. Toilet facilities on site. Free entry. Staff are friendly too.

Absolutely stunning place, John Rylands Library is a must visit in Manchester! Part of the University of Manchester, this Gothic style library is open to the public for free. The architecture is breathtaking like stepping into a 19th century castle. Vaulted ceilings, intricate stone carvings, and dramatic lighting give it a magical, almost Hogwarts like atmosphere. The collection is equally impressive. Even if you’re not a book lover, the building alone is worth the visit. Peaceful, historic, and visually spectacular. Just remember, it’s a working library, so be respectful and keep your voice down. Perfect for fans of history, architecture, or anyone looking for a quiet escape in the heart of Manchester.

Today i visited the John Rylands Library in Manchester, England. It is a neo-Gothic building that was founded by Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her husband, John Rylands, and opened in 1900. The building is considered one of the finest examples of neo-Gothic architecture in Europe The library is part of the University of Manchester and houses a large collection of rare books, manuscripts, and archives. The money in which the library comes from has a bit of a dark past. The Rylands' wealth was significantly linked to the transatlantic slave trade, as much of the cotton used in their mills was cultivated by enslaved people in the Americas.

Free entry and waiting time differs at what time of the day and what days you go. Friendly and approachable staff. Beautiful architecture. Exhibition is in the level 1 and reading room in level 2. Reading room has religion, history and geography books and Level 3 has research rooms to study the books which require appointment. People also come here for photoshoots such as for their graduation photos. Definitely worth a visit if you are coming to Manchester.

Fantastic. Went with our granddaughter who's not yet 3 and she loved it, as did we. Plenty of interest for all ages and plenty of interactive things for children, which are fun as well as being educational. The history of Jodrell Bank is amazing, going back to 1945 and the genius of Bernard Lovell. It's still one of the most important observatories in the world as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cafe, picnic area, playground and shop are all there.

This is a fantastic place to visit — super interesting and home to one of the biggest radio telescopes in the world. The main attraction is, of course, the Lovell Telescope, with its impressive 250 ft (76 m) diameter, making it the third largest steerable radio telescope on Earth. The site itself is beautifully set up: excellent car parking, clear signage, and well-presented exhibits. The atmosphere is lively — there are plenty of kids running about, full of excitement about space, planets, and life on Mars. I actually loved that as it feels very much like a science paradise for children. Overall, the whole setup is first-class, just what you’d expect from a UK UNESCO World Heritage Site. The only downside is the ticketing system. They only sell annual passes, and when you ask for a day ticket, you get into what feels like a Basil Fawlty–meets–Two Ronnies sketch. Technically, they don’t do day tickets… except they do, but under the name of an annual ticket. If you keep your sense of humour, you might even end up with a 10% discount like we did! On the plus side, the staff are all super friendly and helpful, which rounds off the experience brilliantly.

This is an amazing afternoon out. You can quite easily spend several hours here. Just exploring the grounds before actually exploring the main attraction. The motion pictures are incredibly well done. And the indoor sections are also incredibly well done and really put you in the place of what it must have been like all those years ago to be trying to build this sort of structure and what sort of visionary this human was. If you buy your ticket online, it lasts for an entire year and you can go as many times as you want. Not bad for 12 quid.

A great visitor centre. It's a pretty recent addition, so everything is still working as it should. The guides are all really helpful and know the sites history intimately. The main event, the 'Lovell Telescope', is an awesome sight up close. Well worth the trip.

A great place if you're into astronomy! You can see the Lovell Telescope and walk around it (and even watch it rotate, if you're lucky). Be sure to check out the dome show, it's very immersive. There's a good exhibition on the history of Jodrell Bank in the main pavilion, and a small "science lab" that's great for kids.

Reasonably priced day out with lots to see and learn. Despite its small size, there is a great amount of detail in all of the exhibition halls as well as lots of interactive activities for the little ones. However if you don't bring a packed lunch then be prepared to spend a bit more for the cafés. Overall I would say this is a great place to visit for all ages.

Really rewarding to visit, even on a wet and windy day. The Lovell Telescope is of course a wonder in and of itself, and Jodrell Bank as a whole is a UNESCO world heritage site, but there's been a concerted and very successful effort to make the site offer families more than simply a chance to gawp at a giant dish. 🙂 The permanent exhibition is very well curated and offers lots of interactivity, the films are high-quality and interesting even for junior-school-aged kids (though tots might get a bit bored) and the outdoor experiments offer some clever insights into how radio astronomy works. Staff are always on hand, knowledgeable and friendly. And as if all that weren't enough, buying tickets provides free return visits for a entire year. It's too far for me and the family to make the trip regularly, but for those nearby the temporary exhibitions alone are worth returning for.

The Theatre of Dreams. What can I say, I was blessed to witness MANU vs Arsenal on 17th August 2025 in this iconic stadium, steeped in history. The atmosphere buzzes way before the kick-off. The vibe is unbeatable. Although MANU lost, it was truly a blessed moment for me coming from the other side of the globe. Old Trafford is an incredible pilgrimage for anyone who watches sports.

Going to a Manchester United game as a New York football fan was a dream come true. We stayed at the adjoining Football Hotel with an amazing view of Old Trafford. On game day, we had the Red Cafe Hospitality package and enjoyed a three-course meal before the game. The first course was a delicious and creamy soup. Next, I had the pork belly with mashed potatoes, which was astounding. Lastly, we had chocolate and fruit. While enjoying our meal we were charmed by ex-Manchester United players telling us stories of their playing days. The staff were so nice and friendly. Our seats were padded and comfortable at the Stretford end of the field. United won 2-0 and wett returned to the Red Cafe and enjoyed a drink and a wonderful meat pie. I will definitely be back. What a great time.

Visiting Old Trafford is truly a worthwhile experience. You’ll have the chance to explore the main functional areas of the stadium, learn about the rich history of the club, and visit the traditional trophy room. It’s an unforgettable tour for any football fan and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the legacy of Manchester United.

The theater of dreams! A show! one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world, you can breathe the English atmosphere, the passion for Man Utd and The magic of the Premier League! Incredible experience

I waited 27 long years to finally get to experience the theatre of dreams in person. It was worth every single second. I genuinely was almost brought to tears as I arrived to the stadium, seeing the iconic trinity statue I booked the stadium tour and was absolutely blown away by the detail and care taken to properly show off the club I've worshipped since I could speak. The tour guides were absolutely brilliant and you could feel they genuinely live and breathe Manchester United. I took a bunch of photos but the memories I made today will stay with me forever.

What a experience as United Fan, i love it so much. Museum and Stadium Tours is fun, informative we covered the whole stadium. We had a chance to have our lunch at Red cafe it was nice food as well.

We booked tickets for the stadium tour back in April. The tour was thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Old Trafford remains one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world, and it had also been a location I wanted to visit back when I was younger. The tour is roughly an hour long and allows you a thorough walk through the outskirts of the stadium, if paid for you also get a picture inside the signing booth. I am not sure if there is a ticket to get onto the field, though that would have been amazing to have.

Great place to visit with the children. We were there 10:30-3:30. Could have stayed longer just had a long journey home on a Sunday. Dinosaurs are fantastic. All making noises and moving and looking realistic. Lovely animals to see and talks going on a roast the park. We managed to feed the deer and a dinosaur on our visit. Lovely big parks for the children to play in for all ages too.

I loved the wildlife experience, I was able to handle a friendly Snake, enter the fox enclosure and feed them as well as meeting a Skunk and Serval. After the experience, I wondered around the the Zoo and managed to feed some Ostriches and check out some cute Capybaras! Food and drink is also available on site and I managed to get a sandwich and Hot Dog to share. It was such a fun hands on experience and I loved how I learnt so many fascinating facts about them, the perfect experience for any animal lover!

My friend and I took part in the Meerkat and Lemur experience, which included entry to the zoo. It was absolutely brilliant and so much fun. The keeper was really lovely and full of interesting and fun facts. The zoo was a perfect size, so it was not too exhausting for us 'oldies' and meant we could take our time walking around. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We had a fantastic day and will definitely return. In addition to this, we also stayed overnight at Badger's Wood in their luxurious wooden lodge with hot tub... awesome!! We were not lucky enough to see any badgers or foxes on this occasion, but we took some fun photos to make up for this!!!

Been coming here since I was a child and every visit is somehow better than the last! Had the carnivore experience with Mel & was worth every penny! She was so lovely and knew so much about the animals - you can tell how much she loved them it was amazing! Would 100% recommend going here to anyone looking for a good day out, the animals are so happy and loved, staff is so friendly. Also loved the cats walking around the site 🤣!

What can i say. Dont judge a book by its cover. Its not the best presented place with quite a few enclosures and buildings looking a bit tired, but the actual day we had there was brilliant. Every member of staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Big props to the Dino and fossil expert (really sorry i cant remember her name but she had great spider and Velociraptor tattoos). She was brilliant and had such a wealth of knowledge. Could of stayed and listened to her talk all day. She was bursting with enthusiasm too with was really nice to see. Like i said some enclosures are looking tired but ALL the animals are really well looked after and clearly in great condition. Play areas are brilliant for kids. All the Dino parts are great and our daughter loved the shows and the Dino walk. We spent 6 hours there and the time flew by. Very happy and would definitely go again. Worth the journey. Thanks Hoo Zoo!

A real hidden gem, it had the feel of all those family places I used to go to when I was a kid. The staff are passionate about the critters and environment they're in If you're looking for polished roller coasters, this isn't your place, but if you want your kids to have fun? Get them along

We pre purchased a family ticket paying around £70 and I have to say we thought it was excellent value for money. There were a lot more animals than we had anticipated and we saw almost all of them whilst a couple of the nocturnal animals were sleeping. The dinosaur trail was brilliant and my 10 year old grandson absolutely loved it and was able to name a few before we got to the relevant information boards. The toilets were extremely clean with plenty of hand soap and paper towels. The food was a little expensive and you got the usual burger and chips etc. There was also a good selection of ready packed sandwiches and cold drinks to choose from. If I went again I would take my own as there were plenty of picnic areas. What I also liked was the fact it wasn't overcrowded. It was school holidays but it seems they only allow a certain number of guests I think maybe because of the animals. The only drawback was they have an epidemic of wasps. They were literally everywhere mainly centred around the food area and shop. I don't think I've ever seen that many and we, along with everyone else were continually swatting them away although as we went from that area they did thin out and weren't as many. We took our food to the car and ate there then went back to see more of the animals. As we went around we spoke to some of the friendly keepers and staff and they were happy to answer our questions regarding some of the lovely animals.The wasps didn't deter us from having a lovely family day out and I would highly recommend hoo zoo as a family day out.

An unusual and fascinating place to visit. Lots of interesting items and information. Plus cafe, shop, toilets. Entry ticket valid for returns within 12 months.

Well worth a visit if history - particularly military is your thing. Although in the scary world we live in atm it could be the future as the nuclear threat hasn't gone away really. As a teacher I believe this The Cold War and significance for today is something that should be part of our out of date curriculum. The young lady on the desk was welcoming and friendly. Although the subject matter is serious the place had a calmness and one felt relaxed viewing and reading exhibits. So much to see - we hadn't expected as much. We did not have Spotify so did not follow audio - perhaps bunker audio headphones would have set the scene more? Lots of information to take in and some find reading tricky. Dates of reference and origin on some articles would have improved things for me but that's just me as it did not really distract just wondered if sources was credible and time written. Taking the dog was brilliant and he enjoyed it to. Cake and drinks were lovely esp the chocolate sprinkles!! Would definitely rate this place and lovely staff.

Having previously visited a nuclear bunker in Scotland we were keen to come here. We visited with our dog who was welcomed in all areas of the site. A fascinating location with plenty of exhibits and information. A simulator of a nuclear strike whilst in a shelter really made us realise how terrifying any sort of bombing must be for civilians. We were a little late visiting the 'canteen' but we're made to feel very welcome and enjoyed a tasty lunch and authentic cappuccino 😉. A great place to visit for exhibits and the fantastic staff who seem to manage both admission and catering with brilliant service.

Well worth a visit if you have an interest in this period of history. Well laid out with clear explanations at each exhibit. It was a lot more expansive then we were expecting, spread over two floors with 20+ rooms. Keep an eye out for Goulash the cat though he is most likely to be hovering around the cafe! Tickets are good value especially if you are local as they are valid for 12 months.

A grim reminder of troubling times. Just south of Nantwich a secret nuclear bunker was established in the Cold War to monitor any attack and resultant devastation, coordinate communications and support rescue and recovery. The bunker is now a museum. Fascinating technology and horrifying mockups on nuclear weapons.

Not sure what to expect, but it was certainly thought provoking. Excellent musuem, well laid out with a download available for each room and area. Staff very pleasant, and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed refreshments in the Navies Canteen, toasted sandwiches, very good. The ticket is for a years admission, which if local is very good value. As no way can you observe everything in one visit.

For quite some time now I can be best described as a “Cold War Enthusiast” and not longer after my visit to the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker in Essex I learnt of the Hack Green Bunker and made it my mission to one day visit the bunker. I visited the bunker on the 1st of August back in 2023 and even to this day whenever I think about the bunker I am still shocked and amazed by it. The amazing information and the displays within the bunker transported me into the world of Mutual assured destruction and fear about the bomb one day dropping. The bunker wasn’t as big as Kelvedon but the Bunker made up for that with not only a Soviet display which gave you a glimpse at the armed forces of the USSR but also a showing of the 1966 banned film The War Game which blew me away as I longed to see it! Staff in the Cafe were friendly and very understanding of my autism and the fact I was so hyper. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who loves history but also loves the Cold War

Visited here today. Very interesting house and lovely gardens. All staff were lovely and friendly, especially a lady called Ann Heritage, I think she said her name was. She showed us around the painting room and we saw the painting in the conservation room. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and so easy to talk to. We enjoyed the talk about the painting upstairs. A lovely visit. We would recommend this place. Wear comfortable shoes.

A grand and impressive house, nestled amongst vast grounds. Choosing one of the walking routes is a must, as this is such a beautiful estate. We opted for the woodland & deer park routes & being enveloped by the autumn beauty was delightful. We were lucky enough to see the deer, when sat on a bench eating lunch, can't get better than that. The house is also a splendour, with gorgeous attention to detail in each room, which still houses original furnishings, etc. You can walk around at your leisure or join a guided tour. Should you be peckish, there is a lovely tea room in the old stables & as always, a shop & second-hand bookshop. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Attingham, hope you do too.

Awesome place. The house itself is stunning but the grounds are beautiful. Tall trees in lush forests with a deer park you walk through. I was able to see them in a large group not far from me. Well worth a visit.

Simply stunning. We’ve visited many NT houses and parks recently and inside the house was the most impressive and interesting. One got a real sense of the families wealth and the plethora of interesting ‘exhibits’ on show. All the staff were knowledgeable and the front gate volunteers very welcoming. I would heartily recommend a few hours here.

Fabulous National Trust property on a large Estate just 5 miles south of Shrewsbury. Interesting rooms, scenic walks, several cafës, second-hand bookshop, kids activities. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! I’ve visited Attingham Park many times, but this time truly stood out thanks to Les (at the entrance near the car park) and Matty, the amazing Café Team Leader. These two are the absolute definition of outstanding customer service. Starting with Les – what an incredible first impression she gives! From the moment I arrived, her friendly smile, welcoming tone, and great sense of humour made me feel instantly at ease. She’s got that wonderful Scottish charm that makes every interaction memorable — warm, genuine, and full of personality. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does, and it shines through in the way she greets everyone with such enthusiasm and kindness. She doesn’t just do her job; she makes people’s days better. Then there’s Matty, who is nothing short of a superstar in the café. You can see right away that he’s a natural leader — calm under pressure, organised, and always looking out for both his team and the customers. Even when the café is busy, he takes the time to check in, make sure everything is perfect, and serve everyone with a smile. The drinks were spot on, the food was fresh, and the whole atmosphere just felt relaxed and friendly. It’s clear that Matty sets the tone for his team, everyone works hard, but there’s laughter, teamwork, and pride in what they do. Together, Les and Matty made this visit one of the best experiences I’ve had at a National Trust site. They represent everything great about Attingham Park — friendly faces, genuine care, and an attention to detail that makes you feel valued as a guest. 10/10 – Les and Matty are a credit to Attingham Park and to the National Trust. People like them are the reason visitors keep coming back. 👏

We had an amazing time with family and friends at National Trust’s Altrincham Park, it truly feels like a hidden gem tucked away from the busy world. The grounds are stunning, offering miles of peaceful trails where you can walk, talk, and unwind surrounded by nature. Each route has something different to enjoy, from the beautifully kept walled gardens to the magical sight of deer roaming freely across the park. It’s a place that feels calm yet full of life, making it ideal whether you’re after a quiet stroll or a fun day out with loved ones. After exploring, the café is the perfect stop. They serve a good choice of hot dishes, sandwiches, and cakes, and while the prices are on the higher side, it’s worth it for the setting and the quality. We finished off our walk with tea and cake, which was the perfect end to the day. Dogs are welcome too, as long as they’re kept on a lead, so it’s a spot the whole family can enjoy. What makes Altrincham Park so special is that every visit feels different, whether it’s a new trail, seasonal changes in the gardens, or simply spotting the wildlife. It’s somewhere you can return to time and time again and always come away with a fresh experience.

Great place for a family day out! Had a lovely experience at this place. The whole area is very clean and well maintained. The small zoo was a pleasant surprise, free and perfect for kids to enjoy. There's a large, impressive playground with plenty of activities to keep children entertained for hours. Parking was £4.50 for the whole day on the weekend. Overall, it’s a peaceful, fun, and family-friendly place to spend the day.

Beautiful park with many free things to offer. The mini zoo inside is a pleasant surprise with a variety of animals more to offer than most farms I have been to and it’s free. Open spaces with beautiful garden centre with plants to see a lovely little cafe with little stalls, plenty of clean toilets spotted around the area near the park as well as near the cafe area, definitely well kept and a breath of fresh air. The open spaces and park is just amazing with alot to offer children of all ages. Not many places have free things to offer and this had a good mix. There are two ice cream vans with affordable but delicious ice creams as well cold drinks. The zoo closes around 4:30 and the cafe at 5:00 so ensure you don’t miss out and go within the times of possible. The Thomas ride on is £3 per person and flags for £1 lovely little feature if you don’t fancy walking but want to see the park. Car park is pay and display and disabled spaces getting 3 hours for free.

Was fortunate to be able to have a wander around the hall as part of Heritage Open Days. The lady from the Friends group was extremely helpful and the group have done an excellent job with the house. It was built in the 1830's by the Greenall family, of brewing fame. Hopefully that work will continue so that it can continue to develop and be opened up more often for the public. It's now owned by the Council who have developed the grounds with a children's zoo and play area, as well as a cafe and plenty of local walks.

Recently checked this place out. It's great for families. You have a big children's play area. A children's zoo which is more like a farm with farm animals to visit. You also have a jungle Parc, crazy golf for children and normal golf course for adults. Cycle museum which I think you got to book to visit. You have Walton hall and gardens, a pond to view and there is also toilets and a cafe on the premises. Ideal place for a local day out with the family. Opens 8am until 8pm Current parking costs for cars Mon to Fri = £3.50 decent size carpark. Sat to Sun (bank holidays) =£4.50

Lovely day put for kids. Cute little zoo and play area. Gorgeous formal gardens. Parking wasa a challenge as was packed but managed to fund somewhere in the end. On way out went for a walk down the canal which was lovely.

Gorgeous park with a little animal area, really good sized play park for children with two separate areas for different ages. The food is gorgeous in the stables cafe area too. Nice visit.

Must say a hidden gem park with an amazing mini zoo (and it's included with the car parking which was £4.50 for the day). Very neatly maintained and loads of spaces to explore within the park. Will recommend getting some snacks & coffee from outside although there's a cafe in the park but a bit expensive (£4-6 for a coffee/hot choc). Overall it's a fun park with kids around.

We went with three kids 1, 3 and 7. They all thought it was great. The newer areas like Oz are well kept but some of the other areas just need a lick of paint and a tidy up. We saw a lot of rubbish and uncleaned parts of the park (picture of the lake). Every member of the young staff team were great, couldn’t be faulted. The rides are fine for that age, although most had a decent queue of 20 mins to 45 mins. We stayed in the lodge accommodation which was fine, don’t expect anything exceptional (the price reflects that). The safari lodges were chip board throughout with no doors separating the rooms and the shower filled up within seconds so your wash will be quite rushed. With that said as adults we saw both negatives and positives. The kids only saw the positives. If your going for a day or two with an overnight stay it serves the purpose.

We went on and SEN day where the park was quiet and both ourselves and our two little boys really enjoyed it. Weather wasn't great but we were still able to use all the rides, staff appeared to be more understanding of everyone's situations and if there was no queue they allowed us to stay on the ride for another turn which saved the hassle of having to get the kids off the ride to then put them back on after walking back to the entrance. Park is showing its age and could do with a general clean and update, but still a really fun day

Wow what an evening. We went as a large family group last night to the Land of Lights in Gulliver's World. This was our first time to this kind of event and we were not disappointed at all. The whole experience was truly spectacular. The lights were fantastic, the food great. We had pizzas all round nd the kids really enjoyed the witch ice-cream tubs, while the adults went for the delicious hot chocolate. All the staff were really friendly and helpful including all those on fire out duty for roasting the marshmallows . Along with I think it was Pete and Amanda who were really friendly and exceptional in their service 😁. I would highly recommend this if you have never been. We will definitely be back and watch out for further events at Gullivers.

This is a really fun theme park for the kids. I think the ages they are aiming at are probably between 6-10 but they still have some rides for the older kids too. Some rides are very popular & the wait time can be up to 30+ minutes but when I went it was Bank Holiday Sunday so was bound to be busy. My daughter is 14 & although some rides are for little kids they still had a few aimed at older kids such as the rollercoaster & drop ride which were really fun. We will definitely return & take my niece again when she's a bit older.

We went bank holiday Monday for my son’s birthday, paid £122, for 4 people we managed to get on 4 rides. Then over £100 extra inside the grounds, Really disappointed, most rides were 2 hour queing times. it wasn’t even they were really packed the problem was they had 1 person loading the rides, that same person would then have to strap each person in so the safety checks then set the ride in motion, then stop the ride unload the ride then reload the ride, the big rollercoaster only had 1 carriage running. Considering it was a bank holiday they should have had more staff working, knowing the weather was hot and it would be busy. The place is card only the internet went down couldn’t buy drinks ice cream nothing for like 40minutes. When we finally got round to getting drinks got through the massive ques there were no bottled pop left no bottled water. We went in the restaurant at the main entrance for lunch, the food was served quite quickly, but while eating lunch the power tripped like 7 times. I have made a formal complaint said I would hear from them within 7 days, I’m still waiting 2 weeks later 🙈 would we visit here again No, and we’re local only around 20minutes away, we normally do the eat sleep play and have been to Milton keys and Sheffield and Yorkshire. Never had any problems like we had in Warrington, I don’t think we will visit here again.

I took my 4 year old grandson and 2 year old granddaughter my grandson couldn't go on any rides with out an adult as it would mean leaving my granddaughter alone my grandson was so up set. The only saving grace is that the santa trip was excellent its truly worth it my grandchildren really enjoyed this part of the day, just wish you didn't have to pay full price if you can't use the rides. Also if your planing to go take another adult with you so your little ones don't feel left out. I must give a shout out to the young man on the merry go round he seen how up set the babies were and let them stay on for an extra go he is a great asset to the gullivers team.

It was our granddaughters birthday and we went along to the park with her. It turned out to be a great day out. There are tons of rides for younger children and lots of parks to play in with picnic area's nearby so you can eat while the kids play. There isn't very much for older children to ride on, so it's limited in that respect. But if you have younger children, it's great value for money and you can easily spend all day there and just about see it all.

A great green open space and nature reserve for birds (no dogs allowed to protect ground nesting). Good set up where you can get a bite to eat and relax inside or out. The play area was a bit disappointing for the kids as it was under construction/refurb, but in fairness it looks like they're making a good job to make it better for the future.

We had a great time at the superhero event. My children are 18 months, 6 and 7 and they all joined in the fun! From mud throwing to den building, we were all entertained for a good 2 hours! The staff and volunteers were so friendly and great with the children. Thank you!

A lovely place to go visit with family, friends or just yourself. I usually walk all the way to Brockholes from the Preston city centre but even if the walk is long, the scenery makes up for it. A lot of greenery and amazing nature at Brockholes. A chance for you to bask in the nature and atmosphere and see the views. Definitely a must visit!

Had a lovely walk around Brockholes nature reserve. The weather was very pleasant nice sunny autumn day. Topped off with a coffee and ice cream. The car park has gone up to £6 which doesn't seem bad for all day parking but steep if your only there for a couple of hours. This makes people like cyclist park on the roadside so they don't gave to pay. The café is closed Mon, Tue, Wed now. Since we have been going the shop and plant stall have gone. The ice cream cafe has closed. You can get a coffee from the visitors centre out of a flask but the quality is poor and they charge £2.50 a cup. I know it's volunteer led, I know there is a cost to everything but if you don't provide facilities people won't bother going.

Ample parking, a great cafe and lots of well surfaced paths. Plenty of birds to see & photograph. The floating village is an amazing construction too.

If you love nature or bird watching you will love this place. Great for walking or picnic. Little shops there with local crafts, something to eat . Grab a coffe and enjoy the nature :)

It's nice enough here. Well kept, good walking paths, nice cafe and visitor village. We did see a few unusual birds, some butterflies and damsel flies. The walk through the trees is lovely, like an enchanted tunnel. What did spoil it for me though, was the overwhelming traffic noise, with the site being right next to the motorway. It made the walks far less peaceful than they should have been, and made it difficult to use the bird identification app that I often use on walks. The pollution from the traffic isn't great either. That said, it's free entry, though you do have to pay for the car park, which was fairly pricey at £6 for a few hours. I'd suggest a visit if it's nearby to you, but I wouldn't travel too far or you might be disappointed.

Absolutely brilliant! What a wonderful experience and to be able to get up so close to these beautiful animals. We bought the owl experience for my brothers birthday and he loved it! He couldn't stop smiling! All the volunteers are very knowledge, friendly and passionate about the birds and the sanctuary. I love the fact it's not commercialised. Its all about the birds and creating a safe and natural environment for visitors to enjoy too. Thank you for having us and allowing us to take photographs of a very memorable day.

Great sanctuary to see owls and bird of prey up close. The volunteer guides were informative and friendly, and all guests can experience handling some birds during the flight display show. Highly recommended place to visit and hope to get another chance to come again! =^^=

We found this place while looking for something to do on our journey back to north wales from the lake district. What an absolute gem of a place. It's £12 entry you get to see the various birds in the aviaries. There is also a flying display in the price at no extra cost. The display was absolutely fantastic finding out about the individual birds you also get the birds flying to your hand also. This place isn't a big company owned place. It's run by volunteers. All the money they receive goes to the care and feeding of the birds. I would highly recommend this place if your in the area.

Great little place. All volunteers which you can tell really love the birds they look after. The show was really good and got to hold one. No show will be the same because the birds will only do what they want to do, which is great they are not forced to do anything.

What a lovely little place. It's run by volunteers who are lovely. There is an array of owls and some birds of prey. It is £12 to get in and they also have consessions. It opens at 11am (ish) and closes at 2pm. From 1230pm to 2pm there is a flying display. This is very informative and you get to fly the birds. You can get a drink, hot or cold and snacks but there is not a cafe as such. I must reiterate just how nice the volunteers are. Will definitely go back again.

What a little gem, just under 30 minutes from home! We spent around 3 hours here and the time absolutely flew by. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and you can really feel how much they care for the birds. The flying display was a highlight: not only spectacular to watch, but also full of interesting facts that we learned along the way. The sanctuary is run entirely by volunteers, so every penny goes directly towards the care and upkeep of the birds. They do take card payments, but if you can, bring some cash along as it helps them avoid card fees and means more support goes straight to the upkeep of the sanctuary. We also got a great local tip for lunch afterwards at The Farmers Arms, just a few minutes away, which rounded off the day perfectly. Highly recommend a visit - we’ll definitely be back!

This place was absolutely fantastic!! Such a special day. I came with my family and immediately the staff are super friendly and helpful, they all clearly have lots of passion for the birds they care for. the displays are wonderful, you get a good view of the birds and get to see them up close. All the birds have educational signs posted to their enclosures about the species and conservational status so it's super great to teach children too. There are many birds to see, along with a small park to roam in and you can make a day out of it with a picnic. The best part by far were the Owl showings. It's an intimate little gathering where the volunteers show the owls up close, out of enclosure, and even give you the oppurtunity to hold and feed them. This is of course, only if the owls feel up to it, which is my favourite part about it, as it puts my mind at ease knowing the best interest is in the animals rather than the audiences entertainment. The Owls were super friendly and playful the day I went, and so were the volunteers, who really just have so much love for these birds, and make sure that each and every member of the audience get to participate fully. All this for a relatively cheap price considering the experience, can't recall the exact amount but it was worth every penny!! Aboslutely recommend for anyone who loves birds, animals or has kids with a passion for learning and nature

This zoo is awesome! It’s big, so give yourself a few hours to explore. The elephants, rhinos, and bears were amazing to see, and I was lucky enough to spot the leopard too. The exhibits are huge and well designed, with plenty of space for the animals but still great views for visitors. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing family day out. So much to see (impossible to see in one day). Plenty of cafes, restaurants and clean toilets all around the zoo. Also plenty of benches to sit on when you need a break. We will definitely visit again

I loved it! Just me and the hubby on our 9th anniversary spent with the animals and finally no kids hahaha. All the staff are really friendly and had no problems with me filling up my water bottle from the pub for free. I have a verified hidden disability card which enabled my husband to get in for free. Just wish we got there for 10am so we could have chilled out with the cheeky monkeys and the big cats....This was the 1st week after half term so the zoo wasn't chockablock and I remained meltdown free.

It was a lovely zoo, perfect for families. I went alone and it was really lovely to see all the animals but I felt that the enclosures were smaller than other zoo's I've been to especially for the elephants but it was great to see such a variety of animals and their conservation work

Great day out! Sadly didn't fit everything in which means another visit! Would reccomend bringing your own food as it can be pricy for what you get. Animals well looked after, staff friendly and informative.

We visited Chester Zoo for a day trip and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience overall. The staff were excellent—friendly, approachable, and always willing to help, which made a real difference throughout the visit. Parking was straightforward, with wide spaces and clear signage, making arrival stress-free. The zoo itself offers a fantastic break for families, with plenty to explore and good facilities for young children. Hiring a trolley proved to be a brilliant option, especially when carrying backpacks or managing tired little ones. That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. The toilets did have a noticeable odour, which detracted slightly from the overall comfort. Free water is only available at the entrance, and it would be a thoughtful gesture to provide additional refill stations around the site, particularly on warmer days. To see all areas in one visit, you may need to keep a brisk pace—so plan ahead if you're hoping for a more relaxed experience. While the range of animals is impressive, we did notice the absence of certain species such as tarantulas, scorpions, and unfortunately no sharks or crocodilian species. Despite these minor drawbacks, Chester Zoo remains a well-organised and enjoyable destination, especially for families. We’d happily return and recommend it—with just a few tweaks, it could easily be a five-star experience.

A really great visit. Saw everything we went for and more. As members we go a few times a year, (make sure we get value from membership 😀), and for a few hours at a time, whereas before we would go for whole day. Which was exhausting! This visit we saw the new cheetah brothers, as well as the Fossas, and went through the lemur walkthrough and met loads of ringtail lemurs up close! Also too many other beautiful animals to mention. Some paths were closed as they were putting up the lights for the xmas lighting display, so there was a little bit of 're-mapping' to find our way round, but think it was worth it as the light displays looks like it should be fantastic. It starts next weekend, so we're going back to see them! We had a fabulous afternoon, as the weather was really lovely too. I'd recommend anyone to visit this enormous and fantastic place, and if you can, join, it does make economic sense if you can go 3 times in a year!

A great way to get your bearings around the city centre the walls stretch for over two miles and are amongst the most intact in the UK. You have views of the River Dee…. the Roman garden… famous clock tower …the Chester Canal and Cathedral all from the raised walkway

Some lovely views from up the city walls Gotta say that the state of the walls is pretty good for ancient architecture. Also if I'm correct it was restored in 2015 which made it more safe and durable Anyways it's free so go see them!! 😉

My Stroll Through Chester Walls, Chester Walking along the Chester City Walls was like stepping back in time through layers of English history. These ancient Roman and medieval fortifications encircle the heart of Chester, offering some of the best panoramic views of the city — from the magnificent Chester Cathedral to the River Dee and the charming old streets lined with Tudor-style buildings. The entire walk is around 2 miles (3.2 km) long, and I loved how every section had its own story — the Eastgate Clock, the Northgate, and the Water Tower all stand as reminders of centuries past. The walls are beautifully maintained, and there are plenty of spots to stop for photos or just take in the view. I particularly enjoyed walking during the late afternoon when the golden light made the sandstone glow. It’s an easy and peaceful walk suitable for all ages, with clear signboards and multiple entry points. I recommend starting near Eastgate Clock and circling around at a relaxed pace — it takes about an hour if you pause to explore along the way. Visitor Tips: • Wear comfortable walking shoes — the path can be uneven in places. • Early morning or late afternoon walks are best for fewer crowds and lovely light. • Don’t miss the view of the Roman Amphitheatre and Chester Racecourse from the walls. • Entry is free, and the experience feels like a journey through living history. Overall: A must-do experience in Chester — peaceful, scenic, and rich in heritage.

Stunning views and well maintained. They fit in well with their surroundings and a brilliant feature to walk on and be part of experiencing Chester’s history. Loved Chester!!

The Chester city walls are a breathtaking marvel of medieval engineering and historical preservation. As you walk along the ancient ramparts, you're transported back in time, surrounded by the rich tapestry of history and craftsmanship. The walls beautifully encircle the city, their sturdy stones and well-preserved towers creating a striking contrast against the modern skyline. The iconic Eastgate Clock, perched atop the entrance, adds a charming touch of elegance and serves as a stunning focal point.

Walked all the way around and it is free. Lots of viewing points, especially over the town and river. Gentle walk 1½ hours

Chester was a nice day out especially as the weather was favourable the walls and clock tower is a must just to say you've done it obviously if you have mobility issues it would be a problem. The cathedral is a must free entry but donation is accepted it does make you feel a bit guilty as you do have to pass reception where you could pay and get brochures the boat trip was good up the river not very long but you do get a bit of history comentation thrown in. Finished of with a meal at the smoke House on the river side.

Absolutely lovely place that will keep you entertained for an hour ⛪General info: So there's a lot to see & read at this cathedral. The entrance is not big, but noticeable. Upon entrance, you will find a few pamphlets and will be kindly nudged towards a small donation (£5-10 per person is acceptable). Then, you can immediately proceed to the corridors and halls of the cathedral, as well as a big gift shop. It is notable that, while there's not much walking to do, there's much to see & "inhale" the atmosphere of an effectively ancient place. I'll leave it for you to discover 😊 🧹: State of the place: obviously it's an old old building and I think that the administration is doing their best to keep it tidy and relatively organised. Toilets are clean, no foul smells or anything. I would say there's a few random boxes and just "stuff" here and there, but generally it's pretty nice 🤵Service: obviously in a place like this people will be very nice and polite, as they are working for a greater cause. A lot of personnel going back and forward, moving and cleaning stuff. It's nice to see, as it is clear that this place is loved and is being taken care of Honestly? Visit it. Whether you're religious or not, you'll be in awe of this grandiose piece of history called Chester Cathedral ✌️📿

Extraordinary place. Well maintained, very large, beautiful ceilings, glass, mosaics, metalwork, statues and more. Not to opulent (unlike some) but extremely well maintained. Exceptional value for money with a minimum entry price of £5. Pay more of you can as a building of this size and quality takes thousands per day to keep open.

My Visit to Chester Cathedral, Chester Visiting Chester Cathedral was an unforgettable experience — a perfect blend of history, architecture, and serenity right in the heart of the city. The cathedral stands as one of the most magnificent landmarks in Chester, with its stunning Gothic architecture, intricate stained-glass windows, and beautifully carved wooden choir stalls that tell centuries-old stories. As I walked inside, the calm atmosphere instantly stood out. The soaring arches, detailed stonework, and peaceful background music created a sense of timeless beauty. The central nave is breathtaking, and the Lady Chapel and Cloisters are absolute must-sees — especially the peaceful garden courtyard that feels miles away from the bustle outside. I also climbed the Cathedral Tower, which offers panoramic views of Chester’s rooftops, the city walls, and even Wales on a clear day. The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share fascinating details about the cathedral’s Romanesque origins and its role through medieval times. Visitor Tips: • Entry is free, but donations are appreciated. • The Tower Tour and Falconry & Nature Gardens are worth adding to your visit. • Allow at least 1–2 hours to fully explore and enjoy the architecture and history. • There’s a lovely café and gift shop inside for a quiet break. Overall: A must-visit gem in Chester — awe-inspiring, peaceful, and full of heritage. Perfect for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who appreciates timeless beauty.

A warm and welcoming Cathedral. Lots of interesting bits for everyone. Lovely windows, nice choir and beautiful carvings, esp. misericords. Floors are beautiful tiles. Well worth a visit and donation!

A beautiful cathedral lots of history and things to see. £5 voluntary admission price into cathedral. Takes a good hour to walk about. On day of visit part of area was unaccessible due to a private function. Nice grounds to walk around also

Chester Cathedral is a must-see when visiting the city. The architecture is stunning, with tall ceilings, stained glass, and detailed stonework that reflect its long history. Entry is free, though donations are welcomed, which makes it very accessible. The cloisters and gardens are peaceful and add to the overall experience. There are plenty of small details and historic features to spot as you walk around, and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. You don’t need more than an hour or two, but it’s a memorable stop and definitely one of Chester’s highlights.e

You can easily spend at least 3 hours exploring Chester Cathedral. There’s so much to see—from the beautiful architecture and stained-glass windows to the peaceful gardens and historic rooms. It’s a calm and impressive place, and definitely worth taking your time to enjoy

It was truly a wonderful trip. Me and my family absolutely loved seeing the wonderful sculptures! They weren't just magnificent, they were amazing, innovative and I loved how symbolic the pieces were. There were so many to see and the facts they held too was fascinating to learn. Even though it was raining, we still had a brilliant time. We wish you the best and want to say thanks for having us.

Heard about this place from word of mouth and was not disappointed. Did a memory jar Xmas 24 for my dad so we have time together more than gifts. The sun came out and we had a fantastic day. So nice to simply stroll round at our pace, learn things along the way and of course, see the amazing statues. Lunch in the cafe was lovely and the shops were nice to explore. Were there around 3.5hrs in total and to see my dad enjoy it so much was precious! Well worth a visit! I will be back!

What an amazing, and not too expensive day out with the early bird tickets. We were truly taken back by the creativity of some of the sculptures. The time and effort that has gone in to each and every one, was honestly outstanding. It’s a really good day out, even if you “sculptures” aren’t really your thing! There is also a really lovely cafe and shop and as we came round to the end, there was also a man playing some music and singing, his voice was gorgeous! The only downside we found, was the walking between some of the sculptures with a little one. Towards the end, he got quite bored and the walking was tiring for him. This is something that can’t really be helped and I should think most 6 year olds would be the same after an hour or so of walking. Amazing day out otherwise, would definitely recommend!!!

Amazing day, a lot more than I realised. Loved the fact sheets especially regarding the endangered animals! Cafe was amazing and the portions were wonderful. You could tell the coronation chicken was homemade, it was delicious! Brilliant for all the family.

What an amazing place! This was our first visit and we had such a fantastic time. So many amazing sculptures, lots of info to read and get the kids talking about important social and environmental topics, friendly staff and delicious food. We loved it and will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our day here. It was Halloween so the staff were all dressed up and they had scare actors. The food looked amazing especially the afternoon tea but we found our scones a little dry but very nice. Was pleased to be there for the return of the Knife Angel. Not a full day out but well worth a good couple of hours.

Amazing day out! We got the early bird tickets which meant we had to be there for 9am. Was a great option it was quiet. We were able to have a lovely breakfast in the cafe and it wasn’t busy. Food was great we had 2 breakfast a sandwich and drinks and it came to £30. Well worth it for quality and portion size. This place is amazing we wondered round for hours so much to see. We did the kids activity sheet so that kept my 9 year interested and active running about getting the clues. Would 100% recommend a visit. In fact we are planning on going back at Xmas time

This stadium is an iconic football ground that has so much tied to it that anyone visiting will be swept off his feet, even someone who does not support Liverpool, like myself. I was swept up with the singing, the camaraderie, the enthusiasm and the general atmosphere- I thoroughly enjoyed the experience (Liverpool lost to Man Utd on the day)

We were in London on 19 October 2025, and Liverpool was playing Manchester United at Anfield. We were lucky enough to get two tickets for the match. We joined the queue to enter the stadium at around 4.15 p.m. and got to our seats within 10 minutes—just in time for the players’ walkout. When You’ll Never Walk Alone played, the atmosphere was truly electric—something I will never forget. The passion, the unity, and the roar of the crowd were simply spine-tingling. When the match kicked off, Manchester United scored within two minutes, and the home crowd fell silent. Still, we never stopped cheering for the team, and by the 78th minute, when Cody Gakpo found the net, the entire stadium erupted in joy. What happened after that… I will leave unsaid, as my memory happily ends there. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one to tick off my bucket list. I urge every football fan to watch a match at Anfield at least once. Win or lose, you will never regret it.

Beautiful building. Best stadium in UK regularly wins awards. Great toilets and concourse facilities. Premium customer service with scouse ethos. Large selection of food. Lots of bars and restaurants. Tours..shop. events. Surrounded by beautiful park land. A number of murials surround. Disability friendly and accessible. Parking in streets couple mins walk. Worst a visit. Recommended.

The atmosphere in the stadium was absolutely electric! The fans were so passionate, and hearing You’ll Never Walk Alone gave me chills. Liverpool beat Real Madrid 1–0, and Thibaut Courtois was definitely the standout player for Madrid. Best crowd I’ve ever seen!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Even when we were posing 3-0 we still belted out you'll never walk alone to cheer the boys on. Beautiful stadium.

Watching a match at Anfield was truly a dream come true! I had the chance to attend the Carabao Cup match between Tottenham and Liverpool, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. The stadium was filled with loyal, genuine fans whose energy made the experience unforgettable. One of the highlights was the unique ritual of fans touching the flags as they passed overhead—a tradition that really shows the passion and unity of Liverpool supporters. The match itself was thrilling, and Liverpool’s victory made the evening even more special. The stadium was well-guarded, and the security staff were friendly and helpful, guiding us smoothly through the entrances. Overall, it was a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. For any football lover—and especially Liverpool fans—Anfield is a must-visit!

Went to the stadium tour on october 7th and i enjoyed it so much! It’s so much better than i imagined and our tour guide Jamie was amazing and very nice! Fun fact: i’m a vet and after coming back to work on monday we had a sick cat that came in and her name was Liverpool! :)

Not knowing what to expect and not really a big fan of museums we were pleasantly surprised at how good this was. The staff were very friendly and the audio was easy to use giving details as you walked around. The immersive areas were fantastic, walking around each area with background music really brought things to life. The yellow submarine, the cavern club, strawberry fields, abbey road, penny Lane... everything was amazing. We visited the actual cavern club the night before and the room in the museum was exactly the same. We are so glad we visited. The shop, cafe and discovery area where you could dress up as a beetle were all great too. Highly recommend, probably the best place we visited in Liverpool.

We had an AMAZING experience at The Beatles Story. Went on a Monday in the late morning. There were 4 of us, including our 8 year old Beatles obsessed son. The self guided audio tour allowed a lot of flexibility for our multi generational group. The exhibits were spot on and great photo ops! Learned a ton, had a blast! Definitely recommend!

It was really good. The replica of the cavern club and the yellow submarine were great. The shop is extensive with loads of beatles merch that my kids are now enjoying. Overall a great day The only downside was everyone walking around with the headphones and little tablets. Almost felt like I was in a zombie apocalypse. I had to keep interrupting my party to chat about it, or be interrupt myself when they wanted to chat.

I recently visited The Beatles Story at the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool, and it was an unforgettable experience! The museum beautifully captures the journey of The Beatles — from their early days in Liverpool and Hamburg to their rise as global music icons. The immersive exhibits, original memorabilia, and lifelike recreations of the Cavern Club and Abbey Road were amazing. The audio guide, included with the ticket, made the visit even more engaging, with detailed storytelling and music clips that bring the history to life. The flow of the museum is well-organized, and I recommend spending at least 1.5 to 2 hours to explore it fully. 🎟️ Tickets can be booked online (around £20 for adults) and it’s best to reserve in advance, especially on weekends or holidays. The staff were friendly and everything was easy to navigate. 🚆 Getting there: The museum is at Royal Albert Dock — about a 20-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station or a 5-minute walk from James Street Station. Buses and taxis are also convenient, and parking is available nearby. 💡 Visitor tips: • Go early to avoid crowds. • Don’t skip the audio guide — it adds so much depth! • Combine your visit with nearby attractions like the Maritime Museum or Tate Liverpool. • Wear comfortable shoes and take time to browse the Fab4 Café and souvenir shop. Overall, The Beatles Story is a must-visit for fans and even those with a casual interest in music history. It’s emotional, nostalgic, and very well presented — a true tribute to the Fab Four! 🎶

Very nice experience with a great history behind the band. You go down the steps into the entrance and are invited to have a green screen photo of yourselves as the beetles, Headsets are provided with short video's shown as you go around and yes you can sit down at various stops and enjoy the story, art, photos and videos of your self guided tour it IS a place to visit if your visiting the UK and enjoy old music and history made and shaped modern sound you have today. I provided a FEW photo's but you will have to visit to enjoy what's there ! Ps The staff are very friendly as are the locals who will guide you to and through the venue 👍

I brought my 2 children (5 and 8) for my son’s birthday and they loved it. I wasn’t sure if they would enjoy the headsets but they loved following the numbers and finding out all about the Beatles history. We even got to sit at John Lennon’s piano as it was my son’s birthday. The discovery zone was fab and the cafe even had a play area for them so I got some peace at the end. Loved it x

An excellent experience. I spent the best part of 4 hours there because I wanted to learn about all the exhibits. The best part for me was the replica of the Cavern Club - I could just imagine myself there in the 60s, watching the Beatles play! I was slightly let down by the audio guide gadget, which stopped working halfway through my time there. Because there were no staff inside the exhibition, I had to walk through to the end, get a replacement and then go back in. That's why I've removed a star.

We went to visit it but it was closed due to renovations. The area is nice, spacious and there’s a lot of stores. I was told the museum has incredible exhibits and it’s worth spending time there. There are toilets in every big block and lots of walking spaces.

I popped into the Maritime Museum in Liverpool, and honestly, it’s a gem! Tucked away in the cool Albert Dock, it’s got this vibe that pulls you right into the city’s seafaring soul. You’ve got everything from old ship models to stories about the Titanic that hit you in the feels, plus a really moving section on the slave trade that doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff. It’s all super interactive, so you’re not just staring at dusty relics. Best part? It’s free (though I tossed in a donation). Perfect for a quick visit, maybe an hour or two, and you can swing by the Tate Liverpool after. Loved it—total must-see if you’re into history or just curious!

My Visit to the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool My visit to the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool was both educational and fascinating. Located at the historic Albert Dock, the museum beautifully showcases the city’s rich maritime heritage and its vital role in global trade and migration. The museum, part of National Museums Liverpool, also includes the UK Border Force Customs & Excise exhibits, which offer an eye-opening look into smuggling, trade, and law enforcement at sea. The displays are well-organized and interactive, covering everything from the Titanic and Lusitania stories to Liverpool’s role in the slave trade and world wars. The Customs Gallery was especially interesting, featuring real confiscated items and explaining how officers track illegal goods. Visitor Tips: Entry is free, making it a must-visit for history lovers and families. Plan at least 1–2 hours to explore the exhibits, and visit the shop and café overlooking the dock for a relaxing break. The museum is also wheelchair accessible. How to Reach: The museum is located at Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4AQ, a short walk from Liverpool James Street Station and well-connected by local buses. There’s nearby parking at the Albert Dock car park. A visit to the Maritime Museum offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and real-life stories — a wonderful way to understand Liverpool’s deep connection with the sea and the world.

The Maritime Museum at the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool is a renowned cultural institution celebrating the city’s rich maritime heritage. Located in the historic and picturesque Royal Albert Dock, the museum explores Liverpool's significant role in global seafaring, trade, and migration. The museum features engaging exhibits on topics such as the Titanic, the Lusitania, and the city's vital links to the transatlantic slave trade. Visitors can delve into detailed displays of historic ships, maritime art, and artifacts, as well as learn about the evolution of Liverpool as one of the world’s most important ports. With interactive exhibits, educational programs, and a stunning waterfront location, the Maritime Museum offers a compelling experience for history enthusiasts, families, and tourists alike. It's a key part of Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage waterfront and provides insights into the city’s profound relationship with the sea.

Great museum with great guides. Great place to bring family, pupils, students to learn about British history, the trans Atlantic slave and how much Britain had to do with it, among many other things. Highly recommend! For anyone bringing children, please brief them on being respectful for there's a lot of sensitive history displayed.

Incredible place with so much history. Suitable for all ages and also has interactive features throughout. Free to enter but a £5 donation is appreciated. Well worth £5. But it's not mandatory to pay. So a low income family could visit for free.

I personally feel this Maritime museum in Liverpool is better than the one in London. Really enjoyed it. There are 3 floors showing different themes to make me understand so much about the maritime’s world. Also there are a lot of parts to make kids interested. Will definitely bring kids to come again. 2-hour trip with kids is an ideal timing to enjoy I suggest. Definitely A Great Museum👍

The Museum of Liverpool is a standout gem on the city’s waterfront—both architecturally and experientially. Its striking modern design sits beautifully on the Pier Head, and once inside, the views are simply stunning. Expansive glass windows offer sweeping panoramas of the River Mersey, making it feel like you're part of the landscape as you explore the museum. It’s a rare treat to find a space that connects the past and present so seamlessly, both inside and out. The exhibitions are as engaging as the setting. From Liverpool’s social and industrial history to its deep musical and sporting roots, everything is thoughtfully curated and full of local pride. Interactive displays and rich storytelling make it accessible and fascinating for all ages. But what made my visit truly special were the surprises. During my time there, a local community choir performed—unexpected and moving. It added such a warm, human element to the experience and underscored the museum’s role as a living part of the community, not just a place for static exhibits. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this museum offers more than you might expect. It’s a place where architecture, heritage, and people come together beautifully.

It’s a great place to look back on the history and learn about trades, railway revolutions, lifestyle and some glimpse from WW1 and WW2 in city soldiers section. It’s worth the trip. It is well maintained, educational and walkable distance from bus and train station.

The Museum of Liverpool* is a fantastic modern museum that captures the heart and history of the city. Located along the iconic waterfront, it offers engaging exhibitions on Liverpool’s rich cultural, social, and industrial heritage. From The Beatles and football to the city’s maritime past, the museum tells powerful stories through interactive displays, artefacts, and multimedia. The architecture itself is striking, and the views of the Mersey from inside are stunning. It’s free to enter, family-friendly, and a must-visit for anyone wanting to truly understand Liverpool's identity.

Nipped in here with my 9 year old and my husband as we were in Liverpool to go to my university library. I have been here many times and everytime I feel like I am seeing something new or realising I missed something the last time I was there. The atmosphere is so calm 😌 The staff there are so lovely and helpful, lifts work and toilets were very clean. There were some interactive displays for the children to get involved in which was amazing to see. Will definitely be back 😀

​A Trip Through Time, with Room for Improvement: ​The Museum of Liverpool offers a truly compelling journey through the city's rich history, and my recent visit was filled with moments of discovery and appreciation. The exhibits themselves are thoughtfully curated, covering everything from the city's maritime past to its vibrant musical heritage. It's clear that a great deal of effort has gone into telling Liverpool's story, and the sheer breadth of content makes for a very interesting and informative visit. ​The staff also deserve a special mention. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready with a friendly smile and keen to answer any questions. Their enthusiasm for the museum and the city's history was infectious and added a lot to the overall experience. ​However, a couple of issues detracted from what could have been a perfect visit. The first was the use of audio within the displays. In several sections, audio—whether it was spoken dialogue or ambient sound—was playing, and the noise from multiple sources made it very difficult to concentrate. It was a real challenge to read the display boards and absorb the information when competing with overlapping audio from other parts of the exhibition. ​Secondly, the lighting in some areas was far too dim. While I appreciate the intention to create a certain atmosphere, the low light levels made it genuinely hard to view the items and, more importantly, to read the text on the display boards. I found myself straining to make out words and details, which took away from the enjoyment of the exhibits. ​Overall, the Museum of Liverpool is a must-visit for anyone interested in the city's past, thanks to its fascinating content and excellent staff. However, addressing the issues with audio and lighting would make the experience significantly more accessible and enjoyable for all visitors. The museum has the potential to be truly world-class, and these small changes would make a huge difference.

This is a truly unique museum, holding the distinction of being the world’s first dedicated to the history of a regional city. Admission is free, and it’s both informative and engaging, with the added bonus of a stunning, sweeping view of the River Mersey from one of its upper floors. For anyone who enjoys learning about the story of a city and her people, this museum is a must—especially when it’s a city as vibrant and special as Liverpool. One highlight for me was an exhibit featuring the different birds that once contended for the right to be associated with the city’s name—I had a good laugh there. My mum and I spent about two hours exploring, and still didn’t manage to see everything. It’s definitely the kind of place you can return to time and again, always leaving with something new learned.

The Museum of Liverpool may not immediately dazzle with flashy theatrics, but for anyone fascinated by history, it's a real treasure trove. As the first national museum devoted to the story of a regional city, its purpose-built building on Pier Head presents Liverpool’s past in a smart, contemporary setting. Inside, the museum is organized into four major thematic galleries: The Great Port, Global City, People's Republic, and Wondrous Place. These cover everything from Liverpool’s role in maritime trade and the empire, to its diverse communities, culture, migration, and urban development – spanning a timeline from prehistoric times to the present day. With over 6,000 objects on show, paired with interactive sections like History Detectives and the Little Liverpool play area for under‑6s, it's both educational and engaging. For history-buffs, the highlight is definitely the well-curated storytelling of Liverpool’s global influence, technological growth, and multicultural heritage. While it may lack the visual impact of larger museums, its depth and context are what make it stand out. A particular gem is the top-floor sports gallery, featuring exhibits and archives on football and other local sporting traditions, alongside multimedia displays celebrating the city’s sporting heritage . It's a fitting tribute to Liverpool's sporting culture and proves that even in a history museum, sports can play a starring role. Overall impression Not a flashy museum, but rich, thoughtfully curated, and highly rewarding for history enthusiasts. Clean, modern building with a logical layout across three public floors. The sports gallery on the top floor adds a dynamic touch and is well worth visiting. Ideal for those who appreciate Liverpool’s complex story—from maritime prowess to urban identity. If you're drawn to the narrative behind the city—its people, international connections, and evolving social fabric—this museum delivers an insightful and memorable experience.

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a truly breathtaking landmark and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring North Wales. As the highest navigable aqueduct in the UK, it is an incredible feat of engineering and a sight that never fails to impress. Walking along the aqueduct, you are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding Dee Valley, with its rolling hills, winding river, and lush greenery creating a picture-perfect backdrop. One of the highlights of visiting this iconic site is taking a canal boat trip across the aqueduct. Gliding along the tranquil waterway is an unforgettable experience. The boats are charming, well-maintained, and provide a unique perspective of the structure from above the valley. As you travel slowly across, you can fully appreciate the scale and elegance of the aqueduct, while enjoying the calmness of the water and the gentle sounds of nature around you. The scenery along the canal is equally enchanting. Wildlife is abundant, and the peaceful waters reflect the sky and countryside beautifully, making it a photographer’s dream. The boat trips are relaxing yet engaging, offering commentary about the history of the aqueduct and the canal system, which adds depth to the experience. Whether you are walking across, taking a boat trip, or simply admiring the aqueduct from afar, Pontcysyllte is a remarkable place that combines history, engineering, and natural beauty. It is a perfect day out for families, couples, or anyone wanting to enjoy one of Wales’ most iconic and scenic locations.

A masterpiece both an engineering wonder and a stunning scenic spot. Walking across it was such a thrilling experience, with incredible views over the Dee Valley. The height and the narrow canal path make it feel adventurous, yet peaceful at the same time. The surroundings are lovely for a quiet walk or a picnic, and there are a few nice cafés and pubs nearby for a stop afterwards. It’s amazing to think it’s been standing for over 200 years and still functions perfectly. Definitely worth a visit if you love nature, history, or just a bit of adventure

Fantastic to visit. We had a boat ride over the aqueduct for 45mins. The lady guide was exceptional in her knowledge of all the history and details. She was also a " Skipper" and also lived in her longboat moored there. Would recommend a tour if your in the area. Great photograph experience too. Will be back if on holiday in that area again.

Great place to visit, great views and beautiful scenery all around and a really nice stretch of the river dee too. There's a nice easy walk from the aqueduct to Ty Mawr Park which is great if you've got kids with its little animal park, playground and ice cream shop. At the aqueduct you can even hire a canal boat for the day too. Well recommend.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a breathtaking feat of engineering and a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the Welsh countryside. Completed in 1805, it carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee on 19 slender stone pillars, soaring 126 feet high. Walking across its narrow towpath offers stunning panoramic views and a thrilling sense of elevation. The aqueduct’s cast iron trough and elegant design showcase Thomas Telford’s ingenuity. Whether by foot or canal boat, the experience is unforgettable—serene, scenic, and steeped in history. It’s a must-visit for lovers of architecture, nature, and heritage, blending technical brilliance with tranquil beauty.

Latest of many visits to the area. Signed up for canoe trip across the Aqueduct with Ty Nant Adventure. Well organised experience with a great instructor. Scenery was great with the autumn colours to be seen all around. Fantastic breakfast in the Old Chapel tearoom.

This is over 200 years old viaduct over the River Dee. You can paddle or walk over it. For safety reasons paddle boarders have to push board with the paddle while walking instead is stand up paddling. View from the viaduct is breathtaking. In good conditions you can for many miles. There is a car park nearby in Trevor.

The pleasure beach is very much reduced since we last visited. I believe you have to buy tickets to ride before you can go inside. There used to be lots of stalls games food etc. That s all gone. That end of the town is pretty much shut down. No open businesses on the promenade. The illuminations are really nice they've been dramatically updated

Really enjoyed the day not been since I was younger although I live in the town! Bought tickets in advance so had an e-ticket which was no problem. As a resident you do get a small discount. Think we payed £35 per ticket. Lots of rides to suit all ages. Small rides had pretty much no queues , the large rides like The big one, avalanche, Icon had to wait 30mins, but worth the wait! Love the old fashioned wood rollercoaster unfortunately the big dipper was closed but the grand national was open. There is a hog warts train which goes round the park , which is great for little ones and grownups. The station is a good replica of an old fashioned station. Park was very clean, toilets spotless and attended always cleaning the loos. Staff great happy to help and very friendly. My only complaint is not enough signs telling you where rides are. You can download app and there is a map on the app, which is easy enough to use. Arcade on site with traditional 2p machines and others, small stores like hook the duck and basketball ball games. Burger King , Cafe, and other stalls selling chips ect. Well worth a visit if your in Blackpool

Even though it was windy, cold, and wet at times, we had a great day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The queues weren't too bad, and the rides were great. To be honest you really need longer than a day to get around all the rides, and next time we will attend for 2 days. At this time of year its getting dark around 4pm, so you have a few hours riding in the dark 👌 I went with 4 stars due to 3 main issues. 1. The on-site carpark is £18 for the day 🤯 Ouch! I feel that is a little steep, but it does keep the carpark quite available, and there are other carparks available nearby if you don't mind a little walk. 2. They only allow bottles of water to be brought into the park. We turned up with 3 small bottles of pop and were told we needed to either throw them away or store them in a locker on the external side of the park. The only reason for this is to encourage you to buy drinks in the park, and no other reason. Personally, when there are 3 paying guests, all with 1 small drink each I find it inappropriate, and not like we were all bringing in several 2-litre bottles for the day. We didn't take any food with us, as we intended to buy food inside, but you will also find no food is allowed to be taken into the park either to encourage you to buy inside the park 🤷‍♂️ 3. The price for the lockers are also ridiculous. £6 for a small locker, £8 for a medium sized locker, and I believe the large lockers were a tenner 🤯 We found out that only medium lockers were still available, so we paid £8 to store our contraband pop in 😂🫣 All in all we had a great day, and next time we will come more prepared 😊👍

Staff are friendly and helpful. Rides are amazing. Food and drinks are good quality and not quite as expensive as you might think. Getting in when you arrive can take a bit of time but security is there for everyone’s benefit so you just need a little patience. If you’re visiting with family, I’d strongly suggest a go on the Alice in Wonderland ride as it’s looking fantastic this year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This park was THE surprise of my UK tour. On our visit, the park luckily wasn’t very crowded, so we got everything done including re rides. All of the major attractions were open, even though it was looking like we would miss out on the Big One, but they got it open. Operations on all of the rides were quick, the Burger King inside the park allowed for cheaper food options, and the park was well kept. I was especially surprised by the atmosphere of the park, and by the super kind staff. I highly recommend a visit to this underrated park, and I highly recommend trying out Enso, it’s worth the extra money.

Absolutely love it. extreme thrill coasters like The Big One (a hypercoaster) and Icon (a double-launch coaster), numerous historic wooden roller coasters (like Grand National and Big Dipper), and the immersive Valhalla water dark ride Family friendly environment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 We visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach on Saturday 18th October and had a good day overall. The park was nice and quiet so we managed to get on all the main rides several times which was great. The queues were short, the fast lines worked well and most of the staff were friendly and polite. It was also good that the rides stayed open right up until the last riding time as stated. There were a few things that let the day down a bit. Not all of the rides were open and the park looked quite run down in places. There were some rubbish bags around and quite a bit of litter which made it feel a bit untidy. It also looked a little tired and could really do with some care and updates. Food options indoors were very limited too, with only Burger King open and the staff there weren’t the friendliest. It’s still worth a visit, especially when it’s quiet, but it would be nice to see the park given a bit of TLC and for the website to show clearly which rides are closed before you go.

A great place to visit while in Blackpool, well worth a visit and good value when brought as part of turn blackpool days out pass. We spent around 2 hours here looking around, and the kids enjoyed it too. Even met Taylor Swift while we were there, she was a bit needy and kept asking for an autograph. Thor needs to hit the gym, hes let himself go.

Its been a while since i last visited the wax works. we decided to go and give it ago and for £48 for the family ticket it was not the cheapest. We enjoyed our time here seeing the different people and having phots with them. it was not too busy at the time so we did not have to wait long to get a good look at each wax work. the whole walk around was around 2hrs with a stop in the rovers pub mid way.

Had such a fun visit here, was fun for all of us. It was very clean, including the toilets. Appears very accessible too with lots of lifts (not that we needed to use them. But worth mentioning for those who do). Staff very nice and helpful, always smiling. The wax figures were so good, I had to look up close to so many of them because you couldn't tell that they were wax. Now history doesn't usually interest me, but I loved reading the history behind Madame Tussaud. So many different areas inside and a place to sit, drink and eat. The marvel area was incredible, and our favourite by far! Lots of photo opportunities, including paid ones to purchase if you'd like to. The gift shop at the end had a little bit of everything in there. It was very clean and well kept. Would be nice to see a few more people added in there like Luke Littler and Luke Combs.

Absolutely brilliant!. We loved it, seeing all the celebrities up close is wicked and strange at the same time. There's someone for all the family.

Better than expected, and the waxworks were actually really good. Definitely worth a walk around with more celebrities than I realised there were. Not too costly, and especially great if the weather is rubbish outside 😂👌👍

Had an ok visit on a Saturday morning. Wasn't too busy as we went in just after opening. The waxworks are pretty good likenesses and the theming around the attraction is good. There just isn't enough of them. The models are very spaced out and there is a lot of empty space in some areas where it looks like some have been removed. They could really do with adding a lot more to make the walk around more eventful - sad to see a big lack of sports stars, just a handful of British ones. Likewise music and film are very underrepresented. Was cheap to enter as part of the Blackpool multi attraction ticket though. Took us around 60 minutes to get through.

First time attending and was really fun. Free photos by the staff on the way around and some really cool picture spots to take for yourself. The wax hand bit was also cool with the staff being very patient and friendly.

Great value and iconic way to see the Promenade in Blackpool! Some of the trams are open top, which is great for the illuminations but beware of bad weather! We just missed an open top tram and we were disappointed we missed it. But as luck would have it, a rain storm came out of nowhere and we were lucky we got on a tram with a roof!

I was looking forward to a ride on the tram which I experienced today. Unfortunately the tram was very busy with standing room only and despite all the information I have seen they would not accept my bus pass for payment. I was not the only person on the tram who expected their bus pass to cover the cost if the fare. The conductor was very nice about it but told me I would have to pay for the return journey so I declined and got off at the next stop and had quite a long walk back into Blackpool. I suggest they update their information.

Magical couple of hours spent here. Highly recommend the breakfast with the seals experience, was a bit damp outside due to it being late October so they gave us breakfast in the aquarium tunnel, just as charming, after breakfast we went through and had an exclusive viewing of the seals and was able to participate in feeding them too. After which we were left to view the aquarium at our leisure. Great time lots of good memories, thank you so much for having us!

It’s a lovely day out here, my 1 year old loves it especially the jellyfish tank. And the food in the cafe is tasty! The seal show is an added bonus too. Can’t comment on the staff as we never seem to have much interaction with them besides the shows. But I have to give 4/5 as I do think it’s quite expensive especially when there’s a full family of people, when you can get around the whole place in 1-2 hours, it’s costly for not a full day out. I do wish they did family tickets. Definitely worth buying tickets online before you visit as they are 10% cheaper 😊

Really wanted to take the three children out without breaking the bank and something different to do. So I took them here, somewhere I’ve not been for a very long time. Price is more than enough for what is there. 25 minutes it took us, start to finish. And that is with the kids looking in every viewing point. (When they could see through the murky water and dirty windows) they still managed to have fun and see the fish.

Enjoyed our visit there. Its a small but nice place. We had a chat with one of the staff, she was lovley and told us a lot about the place. Once you bought a ticket, you could leave and enter again if you showed them your ticket. There is a nice cafe inside too.

Booked tickets online. You were able to come and go throughout the day. Kids enjoyed looking round and doing the touch and feel item that was available. They also enjoyed seeing the seal show. We had photos done and the one we ended up buying was a little dark (and a bit expensive at £8.50) although the seal bubbles was on top form with the poses. The only downside was waiting for over 20 minutes to view and buy the photo as the service was very poor and slow.

Awesome little place. Spent about 90 mins there. Paid online so got a good price for admission, well worth it for the seal show (Nelly is no.1 good girl). Decent variety of sealife, seems like a great place for kids and plenty parking nearby. People commenting how it took them 30 minutes clearly aren't stopping to watch the fish, or read the info boards and just walk around, so they should have just gone to a pet shop.

Stunning waterfalls especially after rain. You enter through an automated turnstile which costs £2 and is card payment only as far as I know you can enter anytime. The car park is free but can get full at peak times an other option would be to go in the Swallow Falls Inn across the road and use there car park which is for customers only so have a drink or something to eat then quickly visit the falls after.

We stopped off at the Swallow Falls on our way home. It was over twenty-five years since we last visited, so long overdue! We paid the £2.00 entry fee and could believe the noise. We were visiting after Storm Amy has passed through so there was plenty of water flowing at great speed and volume. Since we last visited, more safety fencing and concrete steps have been laid, making it safe to climb down to the waters edge. Thankfully, we were wearing waterproofs so kept dry. We were able to walk down to the waters edge and to be so close to such a raging flow reminded me of standing under Niagara Falls in Canada. The noise was deafening and exciting. We stayed for about twenty minutes as we had a two hour journey home. The steps are steep with handrails for support so good footwear is advisable. A raincoat might be helpful depending on recent rainfall. There are no facilities but there is additional parking across the road at the Swallow Falls Hotel. To be fair, you might want to purchase a drink. We parked in the lay-by beside the Falls. From here, we drove into Betws-y-Coed and parked by the river. The bridge is narrow and visitors stand either side to view the small Falls.

A magnificent waterfall can be admired from several viewpoints behind the gate (£2). You can sit on a bench and let yourself be carried away. The walk is short, but the beauty will surely captivate you for a while.

Nice enough to stop past and have a look. We thought it was a longer walk to get there but actually you go through the turnstile gate (£2 per person, contactless payment available) and you are more or less there. They have however built a couple of viewing platforms accessed by stairs so overall we spent about 15minutes there. Small free parking lay-by in front of entrance, more parking (pay and display) belonging to hotel which is just across the road.

There are not many attractions in the uk that cost £2 to enjoy and can offer a glimpse of such raw power. Visit if possible after rain. Take your lunch as there is a seating area that very few seem to find. Steps with good hand rail access to lower platforms. Great views to appreciate at the different viewing areas. Allow 30min.

Really beautiful waterfall. Well worth the £2 entrance fee. Relatively easy walk down to the falls. The path and stairs are good. It is slightly steep but manageable even if you are unfit. There is a small free parking area near the falls, but it can get quite busy at times. It's definitely worth a visit.

This is a lovely place to visit, 2 pounds entry is very reasonable. The falls are stunning, even on a rainy day!

This promenade is wide and well leveled and beautifully maintained, with a beach on one side and a continual row of benches on the other. There is tons of space for people who walk, bike, and roll. Incredibly accessible, with entrance ramps available.

Iconic Victorian Promenade This is a great place to stroll in summer specially if you have a family & a dog. You just walk around all the way to the pier and spend an delightful afternoon. It is however quite packed in summer, in fact probably one of the hardest place to park in the UK.

A stunning Victorian seaside walkway stretching along the bay. The wide path is perfect for a relaxing stroll with views of the sea on one side and grand hotels on the other. The beach is lined with beautiful pebbles, adding to its unique charm. The pier at the end of the promenade is lively with attractions, while seagulls can be seen all around, often swooping down near food. The atmosphere is calm yet vibrant, making it a great place to enjoy the fresh sea breeze and admire the classic seaside beauty of Llandudno.

This is an incredible place, very nicely done and with lots of benches for people to sit and admire the bay. We went in the afternoon and enjoyed the sun and the breeze sitting here and admiring the beauty around us. This promenade is more than a mile long and it was a pleasure walking through it. The market area nearby has lot of shopping and eating joints too. Would highly recommend for people traveling in this part of Wales to visit and enjoy!

Beautiful place to visit. Clean and tidy. Stunning scenic views, pebble beach, bandstand, busy pier at one end out door pool at the other.

We enjoyed Llandudno a lot more than we expected. The Pier, the Promenade, the seaviews. It's a pretty place to be. The Promenade stretches along the beach from the Pier to the Paddling pool in the east. Almost 1.5 miles in length. Most visitors flock around the Pier area. The further east you walk, the less people you will see. And it's a real nice thing to do, walking the Promenade. Even busy, the Pier is a good starting point. Grab some snacks, some ice cream and get on your way. There's countless benches along the Promenade - all with seaviews :) So it's a perfect spot to enjoy some snacks or a small picnic. The Promenade is very wide, so it doesn't feel crowded. Bikes, dog walkers...there's space for everybody. There is a carpark near the pier, but always full. Some spots along the Promenade, but they're hard to find. We parked just a block away from the Promenade at the Venue Cymru carpark and were really happy with it. Plenty of empty spots.

Lovely front very clean,stop feeding the seagulls fgs,maybe time to cull a few as they are getting annoying,taking stuff from kids hands,mind you why have a picnic on the front your asking for trouble,and also the parking is a joke,all it needs is bays marking out would solve a lot of issues,very multicultural very busy too but much nicer than Blackpool

The pier was unfortunately closed when we visited, and honestly, it looked a bit worse for wear—definitely in need of some TLC. That said, it still has a certain charm, and we ended up getting some really great photos with the moody clouds and seaside backdrop. You can see how iconic it used to be, and hopefully will be again. Even though we couldn’t walk it, the surrounding promenade and views still made it a worthwhile stop.

Lovely traditional pier. In better condition than many piers and has all the stalls still in place. Tried the lovely prawns and chips in the past all have been great. Used to call it death pier with all benches and dead flowers. Didn't like that too much seemed a little depressing. Its cleaned this up a little removing dead flowers meaning a nicer experience. The end of the pier is great with bar and views to die for.

me and my friend we went with a full bus of so many people which includes our family , family friends and children and some unknown persons as well , bcoz its a charity trip for gaza and that trip help them to provide important stuff. so about the trip i can say it was so wonderful, so enjoyable with so much fun , the weather was perfect , the beach vibe is perfect and off-course the food was perfect. so i can say the overall trip was perfect.❤️🤗

A lovely pier, lots of market type shops and gift shops, and a pile of food shops so you'll never go hungry while taking in amazing views from the pier. There's a few boat trips that can be done. Whether thats a slow cruise around the bay or a speedboat experience. The pier seems to go on forever, a lot to explore

A good old fashioned pier where you can have a leisurely walk. There are small stalls either side along the sides, and a cafe and a bar at the far end. For the kids, there are amusements and rides at the start of the pier.

Little bit disappointed by the offerings of entertainment on the pier it felt like it could have had more shops and more things to do along the way to the end. Although the bar and cafe at the were well with a trip to. The views from the pier were stunning and I enjoyed sitting outside with a drink watching the ships and windmills. More shops along the peri would be much better.

Llandudno Pier is a beautiful Victorian seaside pier, wide and long with plenty to enjoy. The arcades and amusements keep it lively, while gift shops, cafés, and many donut stalls add to the charm. A ferris wheel and speed boat rides give extra excitement. You’ll also see plenty of seagulls surrounding the pier, so be careful as they often try to grab food from visitors. The atmosphere is relaxed with stunning hill views and lots of photo opportunities. Walking along the beach with the breeze feels refreshing, and on clear blue sky days the scenery is even more spectacular.
