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

Anfield Stadium

Football is one of the city's greatest passions. There are two big clubs in the city, but it's those playing in red who enjoy most of the attention. Liverpool FC opens its Anfield Stadium to visitors during the day when no games are scheduled. Led by enthusiastic guides, the museum and stadium tour gives sports fans behind-the-scenes access to one of the best-known soccer clubs in the world.

Reviewed By EAN44 - Haywards Heath, United Kingdom

This is the home of Liverpool FC and is a sacred place for those who support them built in the local streets of Liverpool and a stones throw from Everton it’s a fantastic stadium that now with the new stand towers over the skyline. The atmosphere is unique and daunting for any away supported and the Kop is to witness Well worth a visit if you can get a ticket on match day

Liverpool Cathedral

The Cathedral was only completed in 1978. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott when he was only 22 years old. It is a great space, without pillars or pews, the space is able to host huge concerts, exhibitions and fine dining on the main floor. The tower is 110m high and is the best view in the city.

The World of Glass

Reviewed By alan472016 - Clitheroe, United Kingdom

We did not have high expectations of this visit but, wow, what a surprise. The welcome started at reception and we were shown how to get round the museum to all the exhibits and special exhibitions. The local history section was so well presented and a total surprise. Very interesting industrial archaeology The cafe was so refreshing with 'home-made' food quality. A great day out for all ages. There are a couple of things the management need to consider - the web site does not do the experience justice and there is no mention of accessibility for wheelchairs etc - it is fully accessible but they don't say so! The entrances into the kiln lack signage.

Botanical Gardens

Reviewed By Stephen51 - Lytham St Anne's, United Kingdom

Had never visited the Botanical Gardens before but were visiting friends who live in the area and thought it would be a good place to meet up. The gardens are very well planted and cared for. There is a lovely lake and bridge and several tunnels which the children seemed to find very amusing. There was a good children's play area and bowling greens and also a well stocked avery with many different species including Macaws and African Greys. Spacious for children to play but with peaceful areas for those who just wish to look at the wonderful surroundings. An excellent couple of hours.

Southport Pleasureland

With lots to see and do, rides to suit everyone Southport Pleasureland is a fantastic day out for the whole family. Clean, bright and bursting with activities for the whole family, Southport’s premier leisure attraction is sure to bring fun and laughter to every visitor. We have expanded the park with new rides to experience, performances around the park by our resident actors and magician, a new coffee area serving beautiful Illy coffee, fun and games on the stalls, gift shop, food and drink outlets. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome in the park.

Highly recommended place to visit in Southport. Had a great time, very clean toilets and the staff were very friendly and very helpful. Great price all the big rides £3. Lots of places to sit and relax. A complete change from when I remembered it Will be coming back again. Well done Pleasureland. 5 Stars.
