Hit me with your best UK attractions or staycations somewhere Midlands upwards as want to be within 2.5 hours car journey. Kids are 6 and (about to turn) 3.

We’ve done Chester Zoo, Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Stockeld, Eureka, Gulliver’s Valley. We’ve also done ParkDean but pool was rubbish and we love Center Parcs but far too expensive in school holidays.

We like a water park but so many have disappointing reviews. I did look at the one at Alton Towers but very pricey for a short stay. TIA

Diggerland. Fantastic for both kids and adults.

Peak Wildlife park, Crich Tram museum, Heights of Abraham, The Ice Cream Farm, Bewilderwood, Blakemere Village (you can stay there too). Trentham Gardens and Monkey forest. Just a few ideas of places we have enjoyed.
We really loved staying at Darwin forest, but it is almost centre parcs prices and the pool might be disappointing for you.

Water world in stoke is great. Bewilderwood - wish my children were young again so I could go! We went to one in Staffordshire but there’s also one in Cheshire now.
