Chester Zoo & Then What?

[Roswell]

I've got the last two weeks in August off work. I'm thinking about taking my daughter (10) to Chester zoo but it's a bit far to go there and back in day, so, I was wondering what we could do the next day if we stayed in the area overnight.

go shopping at cheshire oaks

i don't see why not holly will love her to bits, she loves older kids. although she'll probably annoy the bejesus out of eden

I don't think I can make it down that day actually.

As long as animal overload isn't an issue, Knowsley Safari Park is excellent, and they have a route which skips the monkey enclosure.

Sat 22nd & Sun 23rd Aug there is a car show at Tatton Park Nr Knutsford Chesire-which will be worth a look.

You can count me in on that 1

Why not take her here? Blue Planet Aquarium: Home How old is she, my son enjoyed going upto the age of about 9 but there is always shopping after that and what girl doesnt enjoy shopping?

hack green nuclear bunker in deepest darkest cheshire - amazing place. you can tell eden how when you were a bairn you used to poo your pants at bedtime every night in case we got the 4 minute warning

Alton Towers isnt far away, you could go there the first day, find accommodation somewhere in between, then go to Chester zoo for a day before going back up the road.

We did this the other week and got a great deal on lastminute.com for 2 day Alton Towers tickets and a nights 4* hotel stay for 2 adults and a child was £170. Chester zoo was also a cracking day out, plenty to see and do. Check out the batcave if your not a big wuss like me

I'd rather go to work than go to Blackpool.

As above knowsley is great, but its more of the same, cheshire oaks is an outlet village, keep mrs r happy, blue planet is excellent too, suggest an easy day 'cos chester zoo is v. hard work.
Or what about a blast up the A55 into Wales (watch cameras) loads to do then (and a couple of dead good tunnels!) or nip down to Bettws y coed, then on to Beddgelert, brilliant roads and scenery from there across to Portmeirion, or upto Blackrock sands for a drive on the beach?

[Roswell]

We're going to the zoo on Thursday so I'm looking for digs for the Thursday night. Any suggestions?

dunno mate, you can stop at mine but it'll be a bit of a squeeze

I wasn't hinting.

There's a Premier Inn near the zoo for £68 a night.

[ACAPULCO AL]

can't go wrong with premier inns - we stayed at one in glasgow city centre last year and it was superb, better than plenty of 4* hotels i've stayed at

I might just go for that then, it's only half a mile from the zoo.

I'll try to pop in for a brew while I'm down your way.

i went in that bloody bat cave and a bat ****ed on my bottom lip whilst doing a fly by i nearly threw up
