Had a cracking day out today, Bradford, yes Bradford!!!!!
Visited the Museum of Film and Photography, you could spend a full day in that place. Free admission but you have to pay for Imax (currently showing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.) There is a section giving the history of photography up to the digital age, a Kodak section. A TV studio which has cameras that the kids (and big kids) can use, step by step on how to edit film and how video and TV works. An animation section and advertising section with lots of interactive attractions, I was very please to see the Smash Martians from the old advert there. There is a news section showing newsreels and gives kids the opportunity to read the news and be seen on the tellys there. It's completely ace...

The best bit was a ride in one of those simulator things which had a film of a rollercoaster type thingy inside. There were 2 little girls in there with their dad and they laughed all the way through it. Unfortunately, as it appeared we were going over a very steep incline Sparky shot forward and shouted "Oooooh S**t!!!! (very loudly) I couldn't stop laughing, definately the best simulator ride ever, just don't take Sparky on there with your kids...

This ride costs £2 for adults.
