Awesome experience,amazing staff!! They have designated talk and feed times for penguins and otters, so you could enjoy that. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Specially enjoyed the penguins. Would have given a 5 or even more if otters were close instead of on screen. However I understand and appreciate that they need to adapt first to this environment before exposing them to public. Overall, it was a very fun experience and Happy Weekend instead!!

There is a helpful little tip for visiting - in the corner of the gift shop there is a lift back up to the toilets. These are back at the beginning of exhibition so you can head round again to pick up any bits you missed! It is a great half day out with the kids. The centre feels like it could do with some updating and refresh on some of the side activities but the exhibits are all great, and the feeding / talk times flow quite well through your visit. The staff are all super friendly and helpful, our daughters especially loved the roaming pirate!

It was am awesome experience! I'll be honest when I first went in, I thought it was quite small, however it is extended at the back so it was indeed quite spacious. Easily took us 2-3 hours to explore the entire place at a slow pace with a 5 month old. The penguins were adorable at the start, the amount of fish in each aquarium space was quite adequate. I did wish we could see the otters though, only managed to catch s tiny glimpse in the room at the far back. The area with the jellyfish was so mesmerising. There were different photography stations located at multiple areas. You could take photos at each station, and at the end you could choose which pictures you'd like to buy and what package. Overall there was a lot of cleanliness, tanks were clean, the walkways were clean too. We ended up going at a busy weekend, but still could easily manage to get around with a baby pram. There was however a pram parking area, if you will, to store the prams if you'd rather do that. Definitely worth a trip.

Had a lovely visit here on Saturday, wasn't too busy and no wait to go inside. We booked it in the morning through our Merlin passes and there was plenty of admission availability. So many things to see if you take your time, but it's easier said than done. Lot's of talks going on throughout the day, we really wanted to watch one of them but there was too much pushing and shoving from other adults and didn't want my child getting trampled on. Some better crowd control would be ideal at the talks/feeding times. Nice gift shop at the end with plenty of stock and very lovely staff.

Good for a one time visit. Gets busy and cramped with the crowds but nice variety of fish and aquatic life to see. The tunnel at the end is the best and provides a nice visual experience where you get to see underwater from all angles.

Visited the National Sea Life Aquarium with my kids and we had a beautiful, exciting time. It was such a delight discovering different aquatic creatures—there’s so much to see and learn! The only downside for me was how crowded it was. Maybe it’s just the holiday season… maybe not. Either way, it was a bit too packed for my liking. Also, I was a little disappointed to learn that the big sharks are no longer there—they were apparently removed a while ago. That said, the kids didn’t seem to mind and had an absolute blast. Overall, a delightful experience and we’ll definitely be back—hopefully during a quieter period.

I have never been to a liquid zoo before, I am 30 and my fiancé is older, we had the BEST time! We loved the penguins and the fish, we had photo opportunities and they came out perfectly. Yep my fiancé was taken from me by a beautiful and friendly penguin! The staff were kind and lovely! It’s not hot or cold in there, it smells lovely, the lights are dim so we can see the sea life better. At the gift shop we each got something and I got a mini penguin for my kitten! We will come again soon, many thank you’s to all the staff there!

The botanical garden tour was indeed a captivating experience, offering a glimpse into the beauty of diverse plant life. The carefully curated landscapes and vibrant flowers created a truly enchanting atmosphere. It was a pity that the allotted time did not allow for a more extensive exploration of all the garden's wonders. Perhaps another visit is in order to fully appreciate its splendor.

Came here with my partner. Pretty easy to book, can do so online. £3 per car parking - would advise not to go at a busy time as the car park will be full. Lovely day out full of various plants and trees. Most of the outdoor plants are British origin with others being housed indoors. Managed to get around in an hour and a half, seeing all of the plants we wanted to see. As per usual, snacks and drinks are a bit costly £1.50 for a can. Overall, would recommend

Hidden treasure!! My first time!! Has to be seen to believe!!The staff wore smiles, friendly & ready to help. The diversity of the plants, the japanese gardens, the water features, tidiness of the place, wonderful trees & pretty roses, incredible hidden corners of solitude & the wonderful cafe staff ‘amazing bakery’. Incredible value for money 10/10.

Wonderful place we spent whole afternoon inside. Lots of plants to discover and different types of trees and flowers we never know. Quiet and peaceful place. Really nice along with lovely gifts to get in the shop.

Weekend in Birmingham kicked off with a visit to this beautiful place. Four people, two members and two concessions. Great Japanese section. Beautifully kept grounds. Good indoor and outside spaces. Child friendly. Disabled friendly. Loads of parking. Walkable from town centre. Good toilets. Nice cafe. Great way to spend a couple of hours 😁 Recommended 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Always a pleasure to visit, the hard work of all the team is paying off! Autumn colours are a delight, especially with the sunshine! Worth mentioning that this Botanic Garden is a fully independent charity: 9£ entry is in line with similar organisations (if not cheaper) and all the tickets and donations help keeping this unique Brummie gem open and well kept!

I just love this place. Love the gift shop, the cafe, the botanicals especially the tropical plants section and their carnivorous plants bit as well and the Japanese garden. The outdoor seating is a breath of fresh air and there is plenty of green grass for picnics.

Almost 5 stars but this was our first visit & entering the carpark we had no idea or signs to say which way to the entrance or instructions to pay for the carpark. It wasn't very busy today but we thoroughly enjoyed our time spending over 4 hrs. The staff were delightful & oh so helpful. Fish & Chips were utterly delicious, best I've had in a long long time. The houses & shops were wonderful, bringing back so many memories. All in all a truly wonderful day, thank you.

Such an amazing experience. The museum and what it offers is phenomenal and the staff and volunteers are so engaging. The way they have set this up is exemplary and we learned so much from the people there and the exhibits. The forging and Army and Navy store were two of our favourites as well as the canal and chain shop area. A must see if you are here, a short train ride from Birmingham New Street to Tipton and it's about a 15 minute walk to the museum. Excellent day.

Our second visit to the Black Country Living Museum this year and was just as brilliant. Ages between 12 - 66 and we all had a fabulous time. So much to explore as always, staff in character and very friendly. Not a bad word to say about this place and would recommend to anyone. It's such an enjoyable day out. We used our free returns which is a brilliant offer after original booking to be able to return for up to a year. Kids were also able to use their Blue Peter Badge cards making it a very affordable family trip. Fish and Chips are 10/10, sweet shop brings back memories buying your favourite sweet treat and the gift shop offers a great variety of souvenirs.

Well worth a visit. Great family day out. We have two boys 7 and 11. They engaged really well. The fun fair cost more but parents of little ones went on free and they were great. Staff were super 👌. The fish and chips were amazing much better than we get these days and cheaper. The demonstrations were informative and entertaining. Definitely go down the mine but watch your head! The gift shop was reasonably priced.

Really enjoyed it and here. Took my 8 year old. Lovely to walk around and really takes you back. Even I remember houses like these when I was alot younger. The boat rides do have an additional cost. There is alot to see and do. Although they do have some eateries we didn't bother. I think I'd have preferred a packed lunch regardless. Definitely recommend a visit here!

Open air museum, this is more like a small, Industrial Revolution, town with plenty to see and do. Very good parking facilities with plenty of disabled space as well as spaces for families, especially those with younger children giving easy access to site. A quick 2 minute walk from the car park to the main entrance where you are greeted into a large atrium in a modern building with a comprehensive gift shop to the right on entry. To the left there is an eatery serving up hot and cold food, and the usual coffees/teas and soft drinks etc. Exiting the main entrance the is a world of history in front of you starting with a tour of the mines. Sadly even early In the morning 10:30 (30 mins after opening) there was a long queue however this was accessible during the day. Old buildings galore, presented in various period decor all accessible to view both upstairs and down as well as black smiths, foundries, smelting, brick production, the list goes on. Heritage building with cars and bikes for viewing. The museum also runs a bus service with busses from 1940’s. They operate an early funfair with several period rides including ghost train, carousel and penny slot machines, well worth a ride. To the rear of the museum there is a modern building dedicated to the canal trust and preservation with the ability to take passenger on a boat ride through the caves where they mined line stone. Several found outlets in the various building, accessible toilet throughout the site, actors on site who interact with the public. All in all a fantastic day out FYI, I travelled from Essex the morning of the visit. Worth every penny.

Haven't been since I was a kid, and absolutely loved taking my kiddos here and they loved it too. It has changed quite a lot over the years but only for the better. I definitely recommend it for the incredible "time warp" experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice friendly volunteers show you round this Tudor farmhouse with no pretentions It's good to see a serious take on history in its context, and its relations to today. The setting is beautiful with room for wildflowers and an outdoor children's play area.

What a lovely visit we've had this morning at the Oak House Museum and it was Free to visit. I wasn't expecting that much but was very surprised with the Visitors Centre which houses the cafe and a small shop. The house itself is made up of about 10 or so rooms over 2 floors as the house would have been circa 1700. There is plenty of information on displays around the house and friendly members of staff who are very informative and knowledgeable about the house. There is a lovely play area for the children at the back of the house and the garden are very well maintained. Unfortunately there is no parking so will have to park in the street which wasn't a problem as there is a boxed parking area big enough for around 6 cars next to the Oak House on Oak Road. Local museums like this need our support so we can remember our history of the area. The grounds are lovely to go and grab a drink from the cafe and sit and relax for a while. You would have to check Sandwell Museums Website for opening times but as of today I think they are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11am to 4pm.

Nice Halloween experience for kids big and small. It was interesting to learn about victorian day life. A lots of surprises for kids.

Went to the oak house museum on a Sunday morning . Free entry and so interesting to see how people lived years ago . Very informative

The house is set up as it would have been in the 1600s. Staff were extremely helpful and well informed. Very welcoming. Free admission is a big bonus too. Some real artefacts from the 1600s are on display and some items are reproduction. But they work together nicely to give a good impression of the house. The museum loses a star for opening hours which are not extensive. Check before you travel would be my advice

I visited today a wonderfull house in an unexpected place.Should be a tourist hot spot. Very lovely staff ,I had a really informative guided tour.I really hope that this major house gets the money it needs so that it can be safeguarded and really punch above its weight.Thank you for my visit

Visited on Heritage week, had a tour and talk, lady doing it was excellent and engaged with al ages on the tour, highly recommend a visit. Lots of history

I remember many years ago there was a big thing over it being lit up at night, it didn't improve it much but stood out a lot more. For a long time I've slowly seen all that disappear. It needs work doing on it again to restore its lighting but Sandwell don't like to spend unless their brothers can make some money.

This monument is one of my favourite ! Which is just magnificent, with loads of parking spaces for shopping, along the High Street, plus everybody should visit the local Sandwell Central library on the high street. Which is another beautiful looking building.

Historic clock tower named after the first Mayor of West Bromwich Reuben Farley. Red brick and terracotta. It's close to Dudley Street Guns Village Tram Stop. Can also be seen from the no 74 bus between Dudley and Birmingham when it passes through West Bromwich.

Clock tower. 1897 by Edward Pincher with relief panels by Albert Hopkins. Red brick and terra cotta. Square plan. The base has a continuous inscription below a moulded string: "This tower was erected in recognition of the public services of Alderman Reuben Farley JP". On three sides there are relief panels of the Town Hall, Oak House and Reuben Farley. On the east side there is a doorway with round head and moulded decoration. The upper stages of the tower have clasping buttresses terminating in octagonal pinnacles. Above the clock stage and below a cornice are three open arches on each side. The tower is surmounted by an openwork dome with finial and weather vane.

A wonderful view of the sunset taken 50metres away from the clock tower, by the way the time was 9pm.

Its a great pokegym, at least team instinct controls it most of the time.

The Farley clock tower is a great landmark. You can't miss it.

AMAZING! The best Merkur Slots Venue ever! One girl called ‘Chlo’ makes the best latte ever. Outstanding customer service, always offered a drink and snack upon entering the venue. Always spotless and perfectly presented. Most definitely gained a loyal customer in me! West Bromwich Merkur for the win!

Amazing experience by amazing staff. Always welcomed warmly and offered a drink and snack. Ive been to Admiral and Shipley. The service is great to be honest but Merkur makes it that extra special and personal. A tall lad on the nights especially named Kieran is a charm. 10/10 recommend. Win or lose it’s always a good experience!

I have popped in a few times and must say the staff are very polite and always offer a warm drink. Very clean and welcoming environment

Overall good and clean venue. Customer service from all staff members is spot on from first entry into the venue until leaving. Drinks and snacks offered which is a good thing as a playing customer. One of if not the best Merkur venue I’ve been to in terms of playing and staff, would definitely recommend and will always return. 10/10

After a pleasant phonecall with a pleasant lady I am looking forward to visiting for a game of bingo.

Just a horrible place to have people with addictions would go in here offered tea bottles of water biscuits just to keep you in there there shouldn't be places like this allowed

A fantastic piece of London history that's well worth the visit. The monument itself is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the Great Fire of 1666. It's amazing to stand there and imagine what the city looked like from that same spot centuries ago. For the price, it's one of the best value attractions in London. You even get a certificate to commemorate your climb! A must-do for history buffs and anyone looking for an amazing view.

The Monument, build to commemorate the 1666 Fire of London, is the kind of monument which these days are not being built. It has long inscriptions at the base of the tall column, but the main interest is the platform at the top. We reach this through a long spiral staircase which requires strong legs and good shoes. There is marvelous views across the City of London and the River Thames from the top. An attraction not to be missed.

A reminder of the Great Fire of 1666, the devastating conflagration that swept through the City of London, destroying much of the medieval capital. The Monument commemorates this pivotal event in London’s history. Located on the piazza between Fish Street Hill and Monument Street, the 202-foot-high column was designed by Sir Christopher Wren in collaboration with the architect Robert Hooke, symbolizing London’s resilience and rebirth from the ashes of destruction. The structure, made of Portland stone, features a Corinthian capital at the top. It stands 202 feet tall and includes 311 spiral steps that lead visitors to a public viewing platform offering panoramic views of the historic surroundings and modern London.

Fantastic experience but definitely challenging. Walking up the stairs was difficult even for the youngsters. But viewing on the top of the tower amazing. You can't take your bags with you but there is space next to the ticket desk where you can leave all your backpacks etc. Walking down getting a bit painful but end of it is rewarding because they give you a certificate that you claim all 311 stairs. Unfortunately due to the nature of the attraction, it is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties or people that use a wheelchair.

Beautiful monument. Great climb for those who are physically able with amazing view of London at the top. It was not crowded up there at all when I went. They also give you a nice little certificate when you complete the climb!

Went on a rainy Monday in half term and as someone who doesn’t like heights, I wasn’t too sure. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The stair were very windy and got tighter the higher you got. There are places to let people pass as you cross. When you reach the top, you are greeted by a fantastic 360 degree view of London where you are able to look at the other buildings that would give you a similar view. You then get an unexpected certificate when you reach the bottom again.

Definitely worth a quick visit. 311 steps and you get a certificate at the end. Go on a weekday afternoon its less busy I think. The sky garden is opposite which is also fantastic ( but need to book about a week in advance )

It is a very nice place. Perfect for who like to walking. We love this place. If you like to watch the flying aircraft with the Windsor Castle at the background or you want to spots same deers, walking on the long walk or in the forest.

A great statue of King George III and his horse. It's a lovely (long) walk from Windsor Castle. Great views from there, too.

The walk to here is amazing! Today, I discovered you can see London from King George. There in the distance is The Shard, etc.

Windsor Great Park A Lovely park Ideal place for people who love to walk We see plenty of deer

Brilliant walk that offers stunning views of the Castle and Heathrow Airport and a big Statue. Could do with a toilet as there isn't one so beware if you're desperate. Toilets are located in the town Centre of Windsor!

4km long walkway between the Windsor Palace and Gourge III Statue. Go there with your most loving person, you will guaranteed enjoy this walk

A peaceful trail on the royal property. Lots of trees, nice breeze and spotted prince William driving by too. But honestly the view point is peaceful.

This place is massive. It’s a hollowed out manufacturing facility and the inflatables go nearly wall to wall and to the ceiling. It was incredible to see and watch the kids lose themselves in the multiple areas - there an observation sitting area that gives a look down view. We took our daughter for her birthday, and after 2 hours all the kids were exhausted in the best way possible. We took our 12, 10 and 6 year olds and they had no issues navigating the obstacles. The staff was super nice and let us go in early as we had a time confusion with our tickets. The were staff walking the various areas when kids were in and kept everyone in order if they got too rowdy.

I recently visited Inflata Nation in Birmingham and had a fantastic time! It’s a great indoor activity spot, especially for families, groups of friends, or even adults looking for something a bit different. The inflatable arena is huge and packed with a variety of fun features: giant slides, obstacle courses, climbing walls, and even a dedicated section for younger children. Everything is brightly coloured, clean, and well-maintained, which made it feel safe and welcoming. The staff were friendly and gave clear safety briefings before the session started. There were plenty of staff members on the floor during the bounce time, keeping an eye on everyone and making sure things ran smoothly. One thing to note: the sessions are typically one hour long, which sounds short but is actually more than enough – bouncing around is way more tiring than you think! There’s also a café area for parents or anyone who wants to sit out and watch. Prices are reasonable for the experience, though weekends and holidays can get quite busy, so it’s best to book in advance.

This place is massive in comparison to our local one. It's cleaned regularly, the inflatables themselves are spotless and the staff are really friendly. Only problem I've found is a missing lock on one bathroom stall but thats it. My step daughter and fiance love this place

I went to the toddler only session which is only from 12-1 which feels a little short as by the time you have fished the kids out the ball pits a few times and climbed up a slide or two the session is over. The place is huge and there is plenty to do as we were allowed to use the main arena as well, The staff were very friendly and helpful. The drinks area was cash only on the day I attended so not sure if this is usual practice but do be prepared just in case. I found a very limited number of Lockers to store shoes in but you wouldn't be able to fit much else in and they cost money to use.

I booked this venue for my son’s 4th birthday party, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Firstly, the party room provided had no air conditioning, and it was incredibly hot and humid, making it very uncomfortable for both the children and adults. Despite raising this issue, the staff were dismissive and unhelpful throughout. We had two party hosts assigned to us, but they showed no interest in helping or engaging. They were rude, lacked basic courtesy, and acted as though they didn’t want to be there. We had to repeatedly ask for simple things like juice and other refreshments that were already part of the package we paid for. Even then, we were met with attitude and delays. The food was of very poor quality—stale chips and what looked like frozen pizza that had simply been heated up. Certainly not what you expect when paying for a party package. To make matters worse, in an attempt to address the heat, they brought in an air cooler—which ended up taking time away from the children’s play session. Despite losing that time, no extra playtime was offered, which was unfair to the children. The room itself was also dirty and clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned or mopped before the party started, which was unacceptable. Overall, I would not recommend this venue for hosting a party—especially not during warm weather, as it significantly affects the experience. The lack of cleanliness, poor service, subpar food, and general lack of care from the staff made what should have been a joyful celebration a frustrating and uncomfortable event.

Really good fun, we had the place to ourselves for an hour. Our first hour they didn't put music on so the atmosphere was a bit dead and all you could hear was us laughing - felt a bit awks. The slides are great - great place to have some fun. Wear long sleeves if you don't want friction burns!

Kids absolutely live this place. (Pretry sure adults have fun as well) Lots of ball pits to jump in. Several big slides and an obsticle course. Just out if your little one is buried in the balls as bigger kids throw themselves in.

An amazing place to visit. Be sure to check it out. The Coffin Museum staff are very professional and friendly. After a while, I felt like I'd known these people for a long time. We also recommend it for the incredible knowledge. We were with children, and they had fun too, especially my little historian.

Excellent tour! Robin was a fantastic guide, really knowledgeable and full of fascinating facts. It was amazing to learn how this old Jewellery Quarter firm operated day to day, producing some of the world’s finest coffin furniture, including fittings for the funerals of Winston Churchill, Princess Diana, and the Queen Mother.

A good insight into the past and working life, presented through stories and anecdotes. Because of the guide's Birmingham accent, we didn't catch everything (we are German).

Wonderful afternoon exploring this museum. Absolute time capsule within Birmingham telling the story of how coffins were made, decorated and shrouds made. An absolute must for any taphophile. Seeing the sewing machines, working press and shrouds was great however the smaller details really touched home. The worn wooden floor where years of workers tread. The seats with indents of women who sat for years sewing shrouds. The daily tea orders noted down. The glasses and shoes in the office. The owner, staff and volunteers are all friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. Small cafe was lovely with a variety of drinks and snacks.

What a fabulous hidden gem ! Really interesting place not quite what I thought it was even better. Our guide Andy was fantastic light hearted approach lots of lovely bits of detail but still very informative. Highly recommend this place an hour & a half well spent. It’s places like this that need patronising they’re an amazing part of our social history 👍😊

I had an enjoyable couple of hours at this museum with an informative tour from Andy and a cuppa in the cafe during which I spoke to a number of the lovely staff. This place is an interesting visit for an aspect of Birmingham and British history but the vibe is what makes it, everyone is friendly, helpful and seems genuinely happy to be there. It's rare to come across a place with such a vibe so keep it up and thanks for the hospitality!

Went to this museum spontaneously with a friend and we both came back feeling really awkward... Staff was generally friendly but gave us no clue where to start or where to go. We had no idea. We decided to just start somewhere, only to have someone come after us telling us the 'right order' of the rooms to visit. Volunteers sat in silence, did barely respond to questions even though we were encouraged to ask questions before. We left early because we felt really uncomfortable. I have never experienced this in a museum and do not recommend this place at all.

I can't believe I've never been here before and it's only a few miles from home. There are some lovely walks, lakes with swans and ducks on and the motorway! The further you get into the woods the less you hear the motorway noise. Well worth a visit to enjoy nature and recharge your batteries. There are toilets in the courtyard by the tearoom and others near the cycle hire place. The tearoom is lovely and the staff are too. They're very friendly and accommodating.

Been to this place twice now and its always a pleasure, plenty of things to see and do. There are a wide range of activities to do from mountain biking, walking trails, visit the farm and use the outdoor gym facilities. There is ample parking and its only 40p for 1 hour or 80p for 2. There are toilets scattered around so people visiting for hours should be fine if they need to use them. I say its the best park in birmingham by far and a great day out for the family!!

We had a lovely first visit with our daughter, it’s such a big park, so much to do and places to see. We had a walk around the rabbit village which was so much fun. The little houses were great and the park is superbly maintained and clean. We recommend visiting the tea rooms; friendly staff, great coffee and delicious cakes.

Lovely park linked with forge farm. Shame there are some idiots that do not appreciate wild life and nature esp. large family setting a fire near the pond and trees cooking food in 2 large pots.

Lovely place for day out. Long walking tracks, lakes and pools. Parking is very reasonable

Always a wonderful day out here. Some lovely walks around the pools and woods. Food from the courtyard cafe is always good and there is a great selection of cake too 😋 Parking is super cheap and very convenient. Great for kids of all ages, as well as adults who enjoy bird spotting or just out for a stoll.

You have to pay to park in the park but honestly its like 50p an hour and its a gorgeous well kept space, and once you've walked around your feet will thank you that the cars closer. Amazing family day out, cheap and cheerful with a permanent funfair for little ones and sky trail adventure/ rock climbing type thing for big kids. Awesome spot!

Love coming here on a sunny weekday. It’s calm peaceful and the cafe is always great Blast from the past and going to the priory

Really good atmosphere, family friendly. The has loads of books to buy, great toliet facilities, disabled access and well as a changing facilities for small babies.

What an amazing little gem of a coffee / snack restaurant . With a beautiful little garden at the rear and plenty of seating, you can't go wrong. We ordered food and coffee and wasn't disappointed, it was well worth the price and tasted fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place for somewhere to stop and take a break. Also to add to this post, Digbeth Dining was on site, and it remained dry . Great choice of street food and an array of beverages to choose from.

Visited for the first time since before the pandemic and didn't realise it was no longer a farm. The ladies inside were very helpful though, explained to us that the farm animals have been moved on to Forge Mill, and the opening times for there. We then had a look around this centre to see a few of the displays inside. The tea rooms were closed on this particular day, but are usually still there and running.

Gorgeous place, buildings, park, tea room, courtyard, gardens etc. Lovely.

Impromptu visit with young children today (22.07.25) in an effort to get them out and about and off the gadgets. Sadly it was a massive let down! I DO NOT recommend anyone coming to visit this place. There were no animals whatsoever. No information provided by staff or any notices displayed informing visitors on the lack of animals. Even the once very established and maintained gardens was a big disappointment. Hardly any fruits, vegetables and herbs. There used to be a small maze for young children to enjoy which has for reasons unknown is no longer there. I’ve tried to find information online which could elude to or give an explanation on why this place has been left to ruin and abandonment but haven’t found anything.

We came to Sandwell Valley Park for the day and always loved coming over to see the farm. I know they had turned it into a rabbit farm but now that's even gone which it didn't inform on the website. I came here as a child and it was the highlight of my trip to Sandwell Valley it's just such a shame now to see how much has gone. The shop is great and the coffee shop but the gardens although beautiful they are not the same quality as before. It's a shame to see not alot on for the summer holiday. Its sad to see it how it is now and no animals not really a reason for people to even venture inside.

Staff wasn't the friendliest and spent a lot of time chatting. They wipe the tables over when some one leaves but the chairs are so dirty, they look like they've never been cleaned. The food is very over priced.

I currently have a membership here for my youngest child that is priced at £18 a month. This is great value for money if you are a regular customer here as a normal session is around £7. The centre have friendly staff that always welcome you with a smile. The centre is always kept clean and the staff always check on the children to ensure that the children are kept safe. If you have a membership then you can also receive a discount on the food that they provide. Thank you for all your hard work.

Absolutely amazing place to visit! This has been the kids favourite place to come during the school holidays, staff are very friendly and the place is well managed! Very clean and tidy including the play area which is regularly maintained. Very good menu for kids and adults, caters to vegetarians too which is a bonus! It’s that amazing I have signed up for a membership. Great for kids between 2-8

After reading the reviews, I now understand why this place is rated the way it is. Unfortunately, my experience today was extremely disappointing. I visited with my son, my sister, my mum and my nieces. From the moment we walked in, I felt targeted. When my sister went in with her daughter, I explained that my older niece wouldn’t be using the play area. The staff didn’t hear my sister, so I repeated it when I went to pay for my son. Instead of listening, the staff member rudely told me that my niece wasn’t allowed on the play frame at all and warned that if she did, we would be asked to leave. I explained calmly that she wasn’t my child and that my sister had already clarified, but the attitude I received was unnecessarily harsh. Later, my son (who is autistic) had an empty McDonald’s cup with him, as he likes to collect them. While we were sitting quietly, nobody bothered us. But the moment I got up, I noticed a staff member point it out and then throw it away in disgust. The cup was completely empty and harmless, and yet it was taken from our table. Meanwhile, I saw other families freely bringing in outside drinks without being challenged. Finally, when I briefly stepped out to buy food for my dad, I came back holding a takeaway bag. Even though I wasn’t eating it inside and we were about to leave, I was stopped at the entrance and spoken to in a very rude and dismissive way. When I asked if I could at least collect my bag that I had left inside, I was flatly refused and forced to shout across the noisy room to try to get my mum’s attention. In the end, I had to phone her just so I could retrieve my belongings — all while staff stood by watching. Overall, the staff here were rude, unprofessional, and showed no consideration for children with additional needs. They spent more time chatting among themselves than engaging with customers. The food is overpriced, the service is poor, and the environment is not inclusive. I will never return and would advise others to visit Humpty Dumptys which is amazing staff, staff are lovely and food is reasonable or any other play centre instead. Just don't go here!

Great little play centre for children. I just wished that other parents looked after their children as they should, the signs also said this, as there were some children running up the slides and putting items down then. This really put my 2 year old off some of the equipment

Too hot to even sit in, had to go outside 6 times to cool down. Staff doing nothing to cool it down, no fans, no open doors or air- conditioning. Kids playing when it that hot in side but cool outside. Not impressed

The softplay was good but quite dirty and sticky in parts. Also their was one staff member who shouted at my 2 year old quite aggressively and belittle my mum (who didn’t speak much English) as she was trying to handle my child, however the staff’s tone & manner changed as soon as I walked up to her (speaking English) which really bothered me. I think staff should be taught better manners when handling these types of situations, we’ve been to various different softplays and they’ve always been polite but firm when I’ve witnessed them in similar situations so on that basis I won’t be returning, however my son enjoyed the time he was there.

Been using gaming arcades for a number of years, this time at West brom admiral was a shocker. Firstly, as I entered the venue, I had a scruffy looking lady say 'Give me some money!! You're indian, you're rich' which was witnessed by the member of staff at the door also. He didn't apologise or do anything to make it seem like that was unacceptable, then I signed up to the cash match rewards scheme, in to be told I don't get a cash match for signing up on the day, which is absurd as all other companies I've used have offered something on sign up. Then, a machine stole my money, and I was told I will have to come back at 6am to get my money back. Not impressed and actually wish I didn't enter the venue. Massive waste of time and as a customer was left very disappointed

Worst casino ever hungry machines not paying dont go they s...it also the security guy allways behind looking to the machine you play....

Do you have to sign up to the casino when you visit or can you just play I have sent an email asking this no reply atm

Lovely clean arcade. When asked to change my coins to notes the member of staff was extremely nice, just a shame I was in thier for 30 mins but no one came over and acknowledged me and asked if I wanted a drink . The other member of staff kept looking over at me as well

I personally do not like the place. It has a frosty atmosphere with people betting their hard earned money. What is the saying ? " A fool and his money are easily parted."

Excellent customer service. Great selection of machines including old school which is why I went there in the first place

Only went in to meet a friend.. Personally I wouldn't go through a gambling joint.. as there's normally only one winner.. and it's not you.. 😬😤

A small but interesting museum in what was once a house which was then turned into a bar/restaurant and is now a museum

Had a great Sunday at the free Medieval Event. The grandkids loved it . Interesting to look around the old building. Quiz , play , talks and demonstrations.

Not much to do. 6 year old was not entertained. Shame because it has so much potential. Great outdoor space.

Went on Heritage week, booked tickets for talk and tour, excellent afternoon, had talk, hands on session and outside walk. Guide very informative and gave lots of info on history and archaeology of place

Bromwich Hall is a great historical set of buildings now open to free public access. You are left to wonder around the grounds and buildings at your own leisure. There is plenty of street parking. They do have some events in the year but it's best to check their website. The staff are very friendly and have some interesting scary tales to tell. It recently use in be a pub which was closed in 2008. Worth a visit.

Amazing place! We visited at Christmas, so the kids got to see Father Christmas. Whom was Amazing. Probably the best farther Christmas we, I have seen. Beyond Amazing. Great price and great experience. Has free parking and is just off the main road. Would recommend to anyone.

Had a lovely time at the Tots at Museum Crafts session. It was a very wet day and this was a perfect activity for my 4 year old and even my 2 year old was able to take part. Thank you
