Reviewed By PTStu - Motherwell, United Kingdom
We went as a family of 4 with our 2 boys (age 2 & 4). It was reptile day so we got to see and hold snakes, lizards, millipede, rat, baby owls and then the tarantula. The kids totally loved it and were buzzing. Me and Mum loved it too and managed to come out of our comfort zones by holding the tarantula and snake. The staff were so good with us they made it easy. I think we all enjoyed it as much as each other. I thoroughly recommend this for all ages. The staff really make the difference and make the experience good for kids & adults.

6. Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks and Main Guard
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 305 reviews
Built in the early 18th century to the design of the distinguished architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, the Barracks was among the first in England to be purpose built. The 'By Beat of Drum' exhibition gives you an insight into the life of the British infantryman from the Civil War to the First World War. A stone's throw away from the Scottish borders and located in a Georgian market town it also boasts a range of other temporary and permanent exhibitions to explore: The King's Own Scottish Borderers museum, the Berwick Gymnasium Art Gallery and the Berwick Museum and Art Gallery (please note that, while 'By Beat of Drum' is open every day, the opening times for the other museums varies).

Not a full day out by any means, but well worth the admission price. Fascinating insight into local military history and military life in general with particular emphasis on the King's Own Scottish Borderers. These are the most expensive buildings maintained by English Heritage.

Reviewed By Emma288 - Staveley, United Kingdom
We had a super family visit to Lady Waterford Hall. The lady on the welcome desk was super friendly and brilliant with the children. The artworks are superb and interpretation interesting. We also enjoyed the reminiscences on the short film. Ford village was busy with people doing the Halloween trail, but I don’t know how many came in here - such a shame as they’re missing a treat.
