West Midlands Safari park?
Cadburys world is normally closed this time of year and some of the others may be too, so give them a ring first to make sure there open before going!
don't bother with Cad world unless ur kiddies are really small, it's a bit poo
Safari Park sounds good, kids love Zoos and haven't been to this one. Cheers
The West Midlands Safari Park is awesome, and you get vouchers to go in again for free within a few months.
There are two "Birdland" parks vaguely near, one in Bourton on the Water in the Cotswolds and a "Tropical Birdland" towards Leicester. The first is fun, the second is on our list of places to go... 🙂
Depends on how old the kids are re the Black Country Museum. If they are 10 ish then it may hold their interest with all the actors etc etc.
Been a few years since I have been to the other locations.
What about Gullivers Kingdom at matlock if the kids are little?
Warwick castle-always a good castle to visit if a little dear.
Snowdome at Tamworth combined with Twycross Zoo near Tamworth.
Hope you have a good trip wherever you decide.
The Black Country Museum was a good day out for us (me, wife, the mother in law, & kids aged 9 & 11) the mines were an eye opener, & on the plus side there wasn't to much for the kids to 'want' outside of the main shop.
I came from herts, so not exactly a short round trip, but I did enjoy it.
The beer was crap, as was the fish & chips, but I guess thats not what you go there for. The canal ride was good though.
