Hubby has got a couple of days off at the end of this week so we want to take Stephen out somewhere for the day but we've got no idea where! With him only being 9 months, we're not sure what he'll be interested in really. Has anyone got any suggestions, North West way preferably, thanks xxx

There's quite about out this way;

Chester Zoo (fantastic!!! I'm an annual member and never get bored of the place, Amelia has loved it since 6 weeks old lol)
Blue Planet Aquarium (a bit expensive for what it is)
Park Hall farm in Oswestry (lots of animals to touch)
Cheshire Icecream farm (not just amazing icecream but animals you can pet, play barn with really good under 2's area.)
Boat rides on the river Dee in Chester
In the park by the river Dee there's a small ride on steam train
The Bugworld Experience at the Albert Docks Liverpool (Not been but walked past and wanted to go)
Ferry rides at the Albert Docks

There are tons more but these are the ones off the top of my head

Sea life at Blackpool is better and cheaper than the blue planet aquarium and you can sometimes find vouchers online. We took the boys at Xmas and they loved it x

LisaG - Thanks for that list too, some great ideas xxx

Also.......Farmer Teds or Windmill Farm.

Thanks ladies there's loads of places I hadn't thought of there! I want to go to them all now though haha, thank you xxx

thanks lisa, we're going to the zoo for ava's birthday in a few weeks but i love the thought of that ice cream farm!

Wow, this list is great, I really want to go to the ice cream factory.
Ellie loved blue planet as she could toddle round quite safely like a big girl.

There's tons to do round here isn't there.

Ava will love the zoo! And the icecream farm is a bit of an arse to find but it's no more than 20 mins away from the zoo.

I've taken Stephen to the ice cream farm and it's sooo nice! There was so many flavours to choose from though, I think another visit may be in order
