Places to take ds1 (3) and ds2 (1) for days out in & around LIVERPOOL?

[twogorgeousboys]

Am going to be staying with relatives for a couple of weeks and need ideas.

There's a Gullivers World in Warrington which is just down the road from Liverpool and it's suitable for young kids.

free - the park - Sefton Park/Calderstones Park/Croxteth Park

Maritime Museum/Tate/Albert Dock

not free - Chester Zoo/National Wildflower Centre/Martin Mere

Thanks folks

If you get the Mersey Ferry (Gerry Marsden blaring out of the speakers, yummy) to Seacombe, there is a dinky little Aquarium there - you can get inclusive tickets.

As well as the Maritime Museum there are all these .

And at Formby there are nice sand dunes and red squirrels, and it is an Encam Seaside Award beach .

Also there is Ainsdale which is a Blue Flag Beach (and they are thin on the ground up here, I can tell you!)
