DAY OUT IN THE NORTH WEST PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS?!

[Disenchanted]

We are in Manchester and will need to go by bus or train really.

Its next week so might not be the best of weather, so somewhere you can go 'inside' if it rains maybe?

The kids are almost 2 & 3.

We dont really want to do a museum as they get bored quickly there.

Something a bit funner?

Thankies!

is eureka too far?

train stops outside btw

Eureka! is located next to Halifax Railway Station which is served by regular trains from Leeds and Manchester. Steps located to the left as you exit the station lead directly to Eureka!. Alternative access is a 600m walk: turn right at the end of the road and follow signs to the car park.

For train times call National Rail Enquires on 08457 48 49 50 or visit their website at www.nationalrail.co.uk.

Oh that looks quite good! Thanks, will show Dh.

Is it suitable for littler ones do you know?

Is there somewhere to eat?

i second eureka....it's really fun for the kids, you'll probab ly learn something yourself...it's suitabe for all ages (i think) they do have eating facilities

Eureka is great although its a long time since I went, there is a cafe inside but it is so close to the city centre that you will find loads of eating places there too.

I took my 7yo and 3yo to Eureka last year and they loved it. It is in need of a bit of an overhaul in some places but that didn't bother the kids.
We took a picnic though. Have to say, as we walked through the cafe the food did look a bit ropey.

It was geared much more towards the 3yo than the 7yo I felt.

Yes TMMJ,

I think we are heading more towards chester zoo, if the weathers nice.

We go to the science museum and natural history museum alot, so thats why thye get bored, we drag thm there every few months, lol.

chester zoo has a lot of indoorsy bits.

or there's blue planet aquarium at ellesmere port.
