Smithills is great. :)

My two love it there. We go a couple of times a year.
 
Gulliver's Warrington is very good because it caters for very young children and it's not ridiculously expensive. It's best to get there by car, though, as it's out of town.

Is Camelot still open? I haven't been there since I took my grandson when he was 12 and he's now 23. It was OK but a bit run-down even then.
 
forbidden corner has loads of wide open spaces, and the views are amazing but can understand that at two they probably wouldn't understand it and there is quite a lot of walking to do and they wouldn't appreciate the puzzles you are set as you go round... it is absolutely brill in fact I think I might just go back soon for a nostalgic visit after looking at their website again :)
 
have to say south lakes was a big fave with us too.. One year we even bought season tickets and went loads of times and got more than our money's worth. Nice drive up, although it's a bit of a trek with two small un's unless they fall asleep at the sound of your car engine then treat it as a nice drive WITH some peace and quiet :D
 
Gullivers is great but I will never go back there after they charged my young un the same price as a 12 year old when we went for his 3rd birthday, just because he was tall. if you're under xxx cm its one price, over its another price)

I explained that he wasnt even 3 (couple of days short) and wouldnt be going on half the rides anyway due to his age so why should he be charged the same about as a 12 year old. Just thought it was a blatant rip off
 
Don't know whether you have got the Observer yet Accylass, but insert in there advertising a 'Noise' Exhibition at Haworth Art Gallery, starting tomorrow 'till 25th May.

Billed as the noisiest art exhibition coming to Hyndburn ... LOL.

6 months >> 100 Years !.. admission free.

Sounds fun ... I think .... :eek:
 
try lightwater valley me and the kids go there a lot, cheeper than pleasure beach, and a lot more fun.

If you want to go somewhere a bit different and it is free for under 4's try

The Forbidden Corner - The Strangest Place In The World

I took my two a few times when they were younger and even though they are nearly adults they still talk about it saying what a magical place it is. In such beautiful surroundings too.

Be warned there are a couple of parts that small children may get a bit scared but with reassurance or avoidance it will be fine :D

You get a map when you enter and you have to try and discover all the hidden things and solve the riddles... to be honest I absolutely loved the place and would be happy to go back there without kids :rolleyes:

And after saying all that I even broke my kneecap falling last time (don't ask!!) and still I love the place

that looks excellent..will bear that one in mind....and one thats a bit different is 'famer teds' over ormskirk way - if the kids like all things tractors and farm animals and farmy things then go there..cracking day out...worth the journey IMO.
