Went on the skycoaster with my partner for his birthday treat. I was dreading it but was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it. The team of guys and girls that strap you in and see you through the experience are lovely and friendly and explain what to do very clearly. Can't reccomend this ride enough. So glad my fella pushed me to try it.

The Adventure Dock Co

The Adventure Dock Co is Liverpool’s newest and bounciest family attraction. The aqua park is a giant inflatable obstacle course on the water in Duke’s Dock, which is next door to the iconic Albert Dock on the famous Liverpool waterfront.

Fantastic fun for all the family, my daughter 15 and her Aunty 60 went on and had the best time ever, they came off exhausted, but enjoyed every minute. Would definitely do it again.

Wild Shore

We booked Aqua Chimp and it was fabulous. Really easy getting wetsuit and life jacket etc, changing rooms were nice and clean and plenty of lockers. The 2 instructors who gave us our safety briefing were informative and helpful on the equipment. Was really fun and some of it is harder than it looks! We had a really good afternoon! Thank you

Model Railway Village

Reviewed By AnnieMerseyside

I haven’t been here since I was a very young child & it brought so so many happy childhood memories to my mind, however don’t remember it being so big. What I really found interesting is the quiz they give you upon entry & counting the fairies (darn ... we missed one pesky one)!! As I personally think that keeps people (young or old) entertained whilst still enjoying the experience and I mentioned this to the lady as we were leaving (sorry, didn’t get your name) and I told her how enjoyable it was (thanks for the map!!) and apparently they try to change the quiz & hidden figures throughout the different seasons. One thing I didn’t realise after speaking to a member of staff half way through how difficult it was for them to keep this running throughout the extremely hot weather the UK has recently been experiencing so well done for all staff to ensure members of the public could still come in & enjoy this, reliving some childhood memories like I did during the heatwave!!!! Would definitely recommend this to anyone, young or old, suitable for disabled to just go and have the same experience as we did xx

Crocky Trail

Looking for something fun to do over the weekend? Stuck for school holiday ideas and need to keep the kids entertained? Why not bring the whole family and get down and dirty with us at the Crocky Trail outdoor adventure playground in Cheshire? The fun starts the moment you arrive, with all the rides, the trail and the challenges it's the perfect way to have some quality family time and get that all important exercise for everyone.

I love this place as do all my kids ( 12,9,7 and 4) We went again today after months of my children nagging me to come back and they all had such an amazing time. The staff were all great, I found them cheerful and friendly and the safety precautions for Covid 19 were carefully implemented. ( The lad in charged of flushed was friendly and full of banter with my son and his friend which was lovely to see) There is so much to do for all ages... a great trail full of bridges, streams, rides, swings, slides and activities and loads of fairground type rides as you enter. It’s a magical place that amused my moody 12 year old and turned him back into the child he still is and not the teenager he’s becoming and just for that it’s worth every penny. Thanks for a lovely day out.

Had a great time doing a 30 min archery session that we booked via Forest Holidays Delamere. My partner had never tried archery before and I had done it once a very long time ago, but our instructor was fantastic. Gave very good tips and focused on our improvement to deliver a really enjoyable session where we saw our improvements and learned something new. Would highly recommend it. Very friendly, professional and safety conscious throughout. Thanks.
