This park is certainly a Jewell, it is a wonderful open space in the centre of Ipswich. The arboretum is well tended and full of lovely shrubs, flowers and magnificent trees; squirrels that are quite tame are in abundance and a variety of birdlife; the outside tennis courts that are nestled in the trees are well utilised. The large ponds with their many species is of wildfowl and if you are lucky you may see one of the many turtles or terrapins that frequent the wilderness pond, that's if the commorant sitting high up in the tree at the edge hasn't picked them off. To cap it all, the highlight of the park, that is the Christchurch Mansion, free to all to roam and see it's many displays of art and artifacts, and indeed I was very fortunate to see Rodin's sculpture "The Kiss" on the day I visited. The park was bustling with people of all ages and backgrounds. What a joy.

Superb museum in a massive hangar. Buses, trams, motorbikes, a model railway (watch out for the quirky cartoon characters who change all the time) - friendly staff, buses you can get on, and a nice little tea shop. Really fascinating. They do sometimes have a number of buses etc working - very well worth the effort to find out and go on one of those days.
6. Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 238 reviews
Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm is in the middle of the beautiful county of Suffolk in Eastern England and is a small livestock farm breeding farm animals that were once common but are now very rare. It's a great time to bring your whole family to the farm to meet the pigs, feed the goats and let the kids loose in the play area whilst you settle into the calm surroundings with a piece of homemade cake or a cream tea.

Me and my 5 year old son recently visited the Farm. My son loves it here so many lovely animals and such a lovely well looked after Farm. It always looks so lovely and clean especially since its reopened the safety measures in place are brilliant and we felt very safe. Its lovely walking round the footpaths around the field seeing all the animals and there's a lovely picnic area to have lunch in as well. Great value for money and a free bag of animal food as well! Great day out! We will be back!

Well thought out farm trail with Covid prevention very much in mind. Book online in advance to get a time slot. Plenty of animals for young children to see and feed (animal feed 50p per small bag). Plus wooden play areas, an old tractor to climb on and picnic area. Also great Farm Shop and food takeaway. Well worth a visit.

The Regent theatre is not just an incredible place to see a performance, but a amazing place to feel like the staff and workers actually care about each performance being the best show yet! Every year the stage is taken over by an amazing group of actors, Singers and Dancers to grace the stage and I really feel there is sometimes for everybody! The theatre has amazing faculty's with a bar located in the circle lounge and plenty of toilets, Plus the seats are great. Furthermore if your an artist or touring production the technical facility's are amazing to.
