Re: Days out ?
 

The Museum of Science & Industry is in Manchester, on Liverpool Road.

Wanna know how to get there...? :rolleyes:

Walk to the bottom end of Deansgate, the opposite end from the Arena & Harvey Nick's.
Turn right at the last set of traffic lights before the railway bridge. The museum is on the right hand side of Liverpool Rd opposite a pub called The White Lion.

I hope this helps. The museum has items of interest for people of all ages, and there are plenty of inter-active exhibits for kids of all ages.

ooooo we went to wensleydale cheese factory today. now no laughing it was fab, the home of wallace and gromits favourite cheese and you get to eat as much cheese as you want for free. ( the reason why my dad took us so he didnt need to pay for dinner) it was so good and its free parking and free entry. it is in hawes yorkshire and its a great little place to visit with a small river running thru where the kids can have a paddle and its a good picnic spot to!!! :D

For younger kids, I'd say under 12's, Gullivers world at Warrington is a great & reasonably cheap day out. I took my 7yr old yesterday he wasn't too big for a lot of the gentler rides but was big enough for the bigger ones. For £9.50 each to get in we certainly got our moneys worth and will definitely be going back again. Food on site was reasonably priced as well 2 piece chicken chips and either a hot or cold drink £3.75

We have also spent a nice afternoon at Clitheroe Castle. Taking a picnic we spent the afternoon wandering round castle and museum playing on the park and watched a bit of bowling. Nice relaxation on a hot sunny day all for a tenner (including bus fare to get there).

We found a great place to take the kids on a nice weekend. The wild boar park in Chipping. What a fantastic day we had. Theres plenty of animals to see and feed and a great walk, the resturant is ok and pretty cheap.

Re: Days out ?
 

That sounds nice, how do you get there? Always looking for somewhere new to go.
