Me and 11yo dd are spending 4 days at Cannock over half term.

Plans so far were;

ThinkTank
Ironbridge
Black Country Museum.

Then after a bit more research I thought the last 2 were a bit samey so now thinking of dropping Ironbridge as Black Country Museum seems cheaper/more stuff on/nearer.

So what can we do for the other 2 days? Is Chester zoo too far to drive to/

Not sure if this would be too far but my dc's like it there www.visitconkers.com/visitorinfo/directions

Was about to suggest Conkers too.
Ragley hall - house, park, adventure playground and zorbing
The Ackers

Conkers looks really good, thanks. We went to cadburys world a couple of years ago and the aquarium doesn't appeal. But the zoo and Drayton manor are good ideas, dd is pushing for Drayton manor so it looks like it's that one! Thanks again.

Ironbridge is well worth a visit IMO

I am still tempted by iron bridge but it seems so expensive as all the different museums are over £7 to get into. Guess you don't have to go to them all....... Is the actual gorge/bridge a nice walk?
