“We booked an hour experience for my Dad and ended up taking our family ( 10 in total ) and what a great day out we all had! We saw the 2 flying shows and the vulture talk which was very interesting and changed our minds about the plight of the these vulnerable birds. The flying shows were brilliant and the Birds of Prey experience was amazing and our host Megan was brilliant! All the staff were excellent and informative and the prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend Gauntlet to anyone, even if you’re not a bird person you will be after a day out here!”

Black Fell, Kielder, Hexham NE48 1EJ, United Kingdom

“We went to Space Kids - rockets and more recently and it was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I enjoyed it along with our son, who came out smiling and inspired. The whole event was fabulous and there was a good mix of talking and doing if that makes sense. The team were approachable, chatty and talented. The observatory and surroundings are beautiful too. Highly recommended!”

Brooklands Rd, Weybridge KT13 0QS, United Kingdom

“I had the best time! What an experience. I went with my son's school on a trip and I'm intending on going back ASAP with the rest of the family. The staff were magnificent, interactive with the children and made us feel so welcome with a wealth of knowledge about each thing. There are plenty of interactive activities. If you're a home ed family this is a wonderful place to visit too. Lots of parking and easy to find”

The Watermill Theatre and Restaurant, Bagnor, Newbury RG20 8AE, United Kingdom

“A fabulous evening in an historic setting. Had a light supper and drinks in the garden before the performance. The Lord of The Rings musical was an exceptional experience, partly outdoors then moving into the theatre itself. We would most definitely recommend this venue, and only wish we lived closer as we would attend on a regular basis”

Rockefeller Building, 21 University St, London WC1E 6DE, United Kingdom

Campbell Dr, Barrow Hill, Chesterfield S43 2PR, United Kingdom

“Well worth a visit if in the area, not as much content as I had expected. Staff and volunteers friendly and helpful, little cafe serves good value food\drink.”

West Kennett, Marlborough SN8 1QH, United Kingdom

“Visited as the sun was starting to set, making it incredibly atmospheric. Parking available in a layby, then a 10 min walk along a grass path to reach the long barrow. Free to visit. Good views of Silbury Hill. You can also go inside. One of the largest, most impressive and most accessible Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. Built in around 3650 BC, it was used for a short time as a burial chamber, nearly 50 people being buried here before the chambers were blocked. Part of the Avebury World Heritage Site.”

Barnoon Hill, Saint Ives TR26 1AD, United Kingdom

“Like the Tate St Ives, we have visited this museum and gardens on several occasions over the years since we were kids…and if you’re visiting one, you may as well visit them both! …”

50 Ferensway, Hull HU2 8LB, United Kingdom

“Great venue, food drinks available only down fall I love tea and that was the smallest cup I've ever seen. Worth a visit”

6 Marble Arch, London W1H 7AP, United Kingdom

“We had the best time here today for our daughter’s birthday treat. From when we arrived until we left the staff were amazing. Ben was our Game Master and he was the best! Very informative as this was our first time doing an escape room. We felt at ease the whole time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The team even got our daughter a birthday card signed by all the staff. Thank you so much Ben and Zoe, we will be back to do another room very soon! We highly recommend this place, so give it a try!”

Chester Rd, Woodford, Stockport SK7 1QS, United Kingdom

“What a fantastic day I had at the Avro Heritage Museum. Home of the Lancaster bomber and my favourite the, Vulcan jet bomber. Awesome plane! Had a very good tour of the Vulcan cockpit 5 man crew, all the instruments still look functional and old school. The wealth of experience of the volunteers. Some of the volunteers had been Vulcan crew members. The museum has a lot to offer about the aircraft factory that was on this site and manufactured the Lancaster and the Vulcan. So much innovation went on here. You could spend at least a week looking at all the information on display. The Museum building was once the old fire station for the airfield. Restaurants on the first floor where you can have hot drinks and hot food to eat, and a good view of the Vulcan. The volunteers who serve are so nice and helpful and happy to share their knowledge about the site. I went home with so much knowledge crammed into my head that it was leaking, and I want to come back to fill it with more information about this wonderful site. And see the Vulcan and sit inside the cockpit,😁😁😁😁😁 just awesome!”

Richmond DL10 7EU, United Kingdom

“Visiting Easby Abbey in Richmond, UK, was a captivating experience that seamlessly blended historical richness with serene natural beauty. The well-preserved ruins, nestled in picturesque surroundings, provided a glimpse into the medieval past, while the audio guide offered insightful narratives. The abbey's architecture and the lush greenery of its surroundings created a tranquil ambiance, making it an ideal escape for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The well-maintained grounds and informative plaques enhanced the overall visit, making it a must-see destination in the heart of Richmond.”

Hardknott Pass, Holmrook CA19 1TH, United Kingdom

“Roman Fort Ruins. The hardknott pass leading to the location is at times a hard drive. Not to be taken lightly... Especially if the weather is icy or even heavy rain , the roads are difficult enough. The Fort however is good. It was very boggy on the day and windy. Its an exposed location so dress accordingly to the weather conditions. Keep you're dogs on the lead at all times. There's usually sheep roaming around. We saw a dog chasing the sheep. Not good ! Enjoy the Fort 👍”

Bolton St Station, Castlecroft Goods Warehouse, Bury BL9 0EY, United Kingdom

“We've visited several times including as part of a trip on the East Lancs steam railway. It's a medium-sized museum but seems to have lost some of the vehicles that were previously on display. There are some interactive parts for little ones but it would benefit from much more. You can get on one of the classic buses and there's the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a bus cab. Parking is free on site and there is cheap on-road parking a short walk away on the road if this is full (the car park was actually very quiet though on our recent Sunday visit). If you are looking for other transport based museums with kids, the British Commercial Vehicke museum in Leyland and the transport museum in Cheetham Hill are similar but bigger.”

Prince Arthur Rd, Gillingham ME7 1UR, United Kingdom

“Lovely museum with loads to see and activities to do. I took my daughter here today and she found it really interesting (which for a six year old, trying to find anything that can capture her attention is a challenge but she watched the videos around the museum and took time to try and read the information on the displays - she was fascinated by so much of the museum). We did the workshop that was available for today which for £5 was brilliant value as we had a hour of learning about physics for kids (using paper airplanes) and Rosie Rivet. The lady who ran the workshop was lovely and the staff overall were fantastic as my daughter lost her toy lion and someone had handed him in and the ladies at the desk were helpful. Felt the cafe was pretty reasonably priced and the sandwiches were tasty. Given the price of the ticket is valued for a year we will come back to do the gallery which we missed due to time constraints. It’s worth a visit if you are in the area.”

Lower Rd, Buckland, Faversham ME13 0TP, United Kingdom

“Brilliant experience for kids and those who love animals. Very hands on and close to the animals. We did the pig walking and loved it. The ladies were very friendly and informative. They have a little coffee area to purchase coffee and cake. Would recommend.”
