It isn't very often you find arcade staff that genuinely want you to have fun and help you win, working in gambling you'd imagine they would hope you don't win what you want so that you stay longer and spend more money- but they were just as happy as we were when we got our 1000 tickets to claim our prize. They were the kind of people you want to go for a pint with, and made the experience so much better for us. We didn't go on any of the rides because I'm a wimp, but they had plenty, bumper cars, rollercoasters, the biggest slide I've ever seen. It's really quiet in the day time, but come 4pm there are plenty of families enjoying the park. All in all, 37 keyrings, and a cuddly slice of pizza named Paoulo later, it was our favourite day out of our entire holiday.

Hoo Farm is a large child friendly farm based near Telford in Shropshire…read more My boyfriend and I visited Hoo Farm when we saw on a flyer that they were holding 'Animal Olympics' intrigued we headed on down. It's soon pretty apparent that this is mainly a child and family-focussed attraction, there are loads of games and activities for children to take part in throughout the farm site. Despite this, we had a wonderful time. We got to pet and feed lots of animals including cows, sheep, chicken, deer, goats, pigs and rabbits. Also at the farm are Alpacas, Wallaby, Meerkats, donkeys, shire horses, ponies, parrots, limas, owls, foxes, ferrets and many more. The actual olympic events were lots of fun and none of the animals were harmed or seemed in any distress. The main events were sheep hurdles and cross country goat racing which were pretty funny although the dog ability event was even funnier as both dogs did completely the opposite to what they were told! The only thing we didn't like is we hate to see large birds in small cages and would have preferred if the parrots had larger enclosures like the Owls. There's a nice little gift shop and an onsite cafe plus woodland walk and picnic area. I would highly recommend this for a family day out but adults don't be put off - we loved it!

This review is kinda a two parter... Today I will introduce you to Hoo Farm and tomorrow you get to…read morehear about Wild Will's Animal Encounters (which was the reason we were at Hoo Farm on Sunday).... This park is only about 45 minutes away from Birmingham and is based in Telford. Our experience voucher entitled us to free entry into Hoo Farm, but in all honesty - for less than £8 for adult or child entry (under 2's go free), it's not an expensive day out anyway. We purchased 2 bags of animal feed (at a modest 75p each) as you can get up close and personal with several species of both farm and more exotic offerings. The park isn't huge, but we managed to be entertained for 3 hours without any problems at all. There is a good schedule of feedings and chances to meet different species, so keep an eye out on your watches. We fed sheep, pigs, deer (although not up close as they were rather shy on Sunday) and got to hang out with different birds, Wallabies, and even stroke little pygmy hedgehogs. They have a lambing shed (with lambs being born everyday), so I got to stroke a 6 day old lamb and give it's mother a little snack too! On the exotic side, there are meerkats, snakes, spiders, reptiles, foxes, lemurs and even some other big cats I hadn't seen before! Other than the animals, there are lots of activities to entertain the kids. Some of the park could do with a lick of paint (and the Hooville High Street was genuinely terrifying), but overall most children would get a kick out of being up close with the animals (even if they aren't interested in the other stuff going on). You are invited to feed baby lambs and goats, but many of the people that were there on Sunday were obviously (like us) on experiences and were stroking birds of prey, holding snakes and feeding Coaties. We took a picnic lunch (so didn't use the cafe), but there is a cafe and gift shop on site which you can take advantage off. We had a lovely time at Hoo Farm. As Mazzy has said, it definitely has more of a child/family focus - but if you're young at heart; you will have a great time regardless!

This is a fun, interactive indoor kids play area in an old industrial estate near Walsall…read more Basically, a large warehouse packed full of every windy twisty slide, enormous ball pit and fun climbing structure a kid could ever want. There are two sectons to CBW (isn't that a fantastic name?? I just imagine a kid going around with cymbals, delighting in making a horrendous mess), one a play area for bigger kids, and another for smaller toddlers. The climbing structures and mazes are so big and well built, my 6'5" husband wound his way round them without it falling down! There are plenty of tables and chairs for parents and parties to sit at and drink a decent cup of tea while waving at their children as they get into minor playground scuffles with other equally charming children. They cater for children's parties and large events (though if you want to hold your corporate event here, you may want to seek some therapy), and the food they do is pretty decent. If you go on a typical winter weekend, it will be slammed with tots, but the place is big enough to find a seat, if you don't mind the crowds. The staff aren't particularly helpful or particularly awful, just doing their job and getting on with things. The bathrooms are a bit dodgy, and absolutely freezing cold, but clean enough. All in all, if you need a place to take your screaming offspring, CBW will give you, ahem, bang for your buck.

So it's useful that I have the mental age of a child at times and so Diggerland is like my dream day out when I'm feeling in said state. Bring on the diggers. What a great attraction this is for children and the tagged along parents. Size really does matter here so let's rejoice in that. So what can you expect...well blatantly diggers silly. It's hardly going to be a bun fight (though that'd be fun too). What's more you actually get to ride in these bad boys. Come on now what's not to love. The kids (and us "grown ups") can have a go on dumper trucks, mini diggers and get this; a giant digger. All supervised co course but it's motoring madness gone wild. You'll also learn about the world of the digger and you can grab a quick burger and drink at the Dig Inn. So poop, poop for a day of motorised action that won't get you arrested on one of those videos the internet has so many of these days (I needed the money).
