saxon51 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Sorry AKITA. Railway museum (free) which doesn't just have big engines to look at. Castle museum (don't know cost) has displays of costumes and toys etc. Model train museum (don't know cost) River trips (ditto) Big station to watch trains go by. Big 'spooky' minster. Jorvik centre (ditto) She should enjoy that. Recommend them all :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallBuilder Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 If the weather is nice on Sunday you could go to ride on the model railway in Ecclesall Woods almost across from the Abbeydale garden centre. It's open from 1pm and they usually have a few trains running which in some cases are scale model working steam locomotives. They have toilet facilities there and sell hot drinks and I thhink confectionary. Very popular with the little kids and not hideously expensive, i think the rides are 60p a go .

noseyrosie Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Oh we were into tons of this days out stuff when I was younger... Chestnut Centre is brilliant - otters are great, I'd really really recommend it especially at this time of year before the animals go into hibernation. Tropical World - pretty good day out, and I liked the smaller Butterfly House (it's got an animal farm bit too)too. One place we went to on a school trip was Blist Hill Victorian Village (but it's in Shropshire...) which is great, though probably not suitable for such a young childlet. Chatsworth Playground is bloody amazing for kids, though she's a bit young and although there's a smaller area for that age kids, you do have to pay to get in so it's a bit silly to miss out on most of it. We used to go to York quite a lot when I was little - bloody loved the place, especially the Railway Museum, I remember queueing hours for Jorvik and being a bit disappointed, and quite pricey too. When she's older I'd recommend the York Dungeon, it's great . Urr....Chesterfield Park has a boating lake and miniature train. If you're willing to go that far, Kinderland in Scarborough and Peasholm Park next door would be perfect - Kinderland is a 'theme' park aimed at young children. On the same note I've heard Gulliver's Kingdom is good for this also. One thing that also catches the chain of thought..... Anyone know if Pett's Corner (Sundown) is still open? How amazing would that be! (If it is, you HAVE to take her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
