3. Warrington Play & Sensory Centre

Reviewed By NicTilley - Warrington, United Kingdom
We've been coming here regularly for a couple of years, it's my girls' favourite place to play and relax. It's smaller than most play centres but certainly not cramped or crowded by any means... The sensory room is amazing.. the chill zone with ball pool and usually a movie showing is fab.. then the main playframe is great and suitable for both children and adults with additional needs. My only point to those wanting to visit is check the timetable which is posted on their Facebook site weekly as this changes all the time to suit bookings for schools, groups etc... The menu is basic but this is understandable with a small staff team, always hot and fresh!

We visited today with a 2, 7 and 10 year old and we all enjoyed it. Although the youngest didn’t understand how to play he loved the car games and there was a step for him to see other ones. Great value for money and lots of choice so no waiting. Cafe good price too.
6. Walton Hall and Gardens

Reviewed By Ollerbarrow - Altrincham, United Kingdom
With its Hall, extensive gardens and playgrounds, petting zoo, pitch and putt and other attractions this is a great place to bring young and old for a day out on a nice sunny day. Parking is cheap at £3 for the day and there are plenty of food outlets dotted around, although it is invariably cheaper to bring a picnic. Short term attractions will lighten your pocket, yet keep any youngsters expending more energy. A great place.

What a lovely little museum. It’s such a refreshing change to go to a museum, where my students can interact and try thing like armour on. Make drawings and writings. My class are adults learning English and they enjoyed it immensely. Well done Warrington, definitely worth a visit no matter what age you are.

My husband and I visited today whilst walking our dog, and we called in at the cafe. I had the falafel wrap and my husband had the chicken wrap followed by Toffee Apple and Walnut cake ( with cream) and it was all absolutely gorgeous. The chicken was delicious and succulent and the salad was fresh, the best food we’ve had in a while. The slices of cake are generous sizes too. Some previous reviews have said they found it expensive, however it’s quality food and we think that is a fair price to pay.
