1. Chester<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"Visit<\/figure>\n

If you love a city filled with history and culture, this is a great day out for you. Wander around the vibrant streets and have a nosey in the variety of shops on offer<\/span>. See the city from above via a stroll along the Roman walls.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWith plenty of bars, family-friendly cafes, and restaurants<\/span>. You\u2019ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a drink and a bite to eat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Jodrell Bank Observatory<\/b><\/h2>\n

Got a budding scientist to entertain? Jodrell Bank is a must-visit! Home to what was once the largest steerable telescope in the entire world, Jodrell Bank really is a national treasure.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIt is still very much a functioning observatory to this day. <\/span>It has an on-site visitor centre and a museum full of learning resources for people of all ages. It\u2019s a firm favourite for school trips and half-term days out all across the North West<\/span>. It\u2019s one of the places that inspired Professor Brian Cox when he was a youngster.<\/span>
\nAs well as the day-to-day attractions, it\u2019s home to the annual Bluedot Festival<\/span>. Which combines live music (with an electronic leaning, but very much household names!), art exhibitions, talks from world-famous scientists and even live experiments!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Ness Botanic Gardens<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ness Botanic Gardens is a picturesque slice of paradise on the Wirral Peninsula.<\/span> Founded in 1898 and donated to the University of Liverpool in 1948<\/span>.

\nIt houses some 15,000 different types of plants from around the globe, including seasonal varieties throughout the year<\/span>. No wonder it\u2019s a popular venue for weddings and outdoor events.<\/span>
\nWith an on-site cafe and extremely reasonable entry prices. \u00a36.50 maximum for adults, with concessions, child tickets and family passes working out even cheaper<\/span>. It\u2019s the perfect way to spend a morning or afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet<\/b><\/h2>\n

If retail therapy is what you\u2019re after, Cheshire Oaks gives you the deluxe treatment package\u2026<\/span>
\nWith sheltered outdoor walkways and an easily navigable layout, it makes outlet shopping a truly pleasurable experience. Highlights include a huge Ralph Lauren store; a Levi\u2019s shop filled with discounted denim; Nike and Adidas stores; Burberry, Hugo Boss and other high-end designers; Le Creuset and other homeware delights<\/span>. Finally, a whole host of places to grab a bite to eat<\/span>. Whether you want a quick sandwich or a full sit-down meal.<\/span>
\nOnce you\u2019ve filled your boots (or bought some new ones!), swing by the Vue cinema to catch one of the latest blockbusters<\/span>!
\nOr for something a bit more family-friendly and educational, head over the road to\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Blue Planet Aquarium<\/b><\/h2>\n

6. Nantwich<\/b><\/h3>\n

Looking somewhat like a mini Chester. <\/span>The historic market town of Nantwich offers you a laidback day out. <\/span>Surrounded by quaint scenery and medieval buildings. A very English affair, and lovely all year round!<\/span>
\nBrowse the vintage boutiques and antique shops<\/span>. Get yourself some afternoon tea or treat yourself to coffee and cake<\/span>. Head to one of the various watering holes for a good old-fashioned pub lunch.<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019re a fan of cheese, maybe time your visit to coincide with the International Cheese Awards<\/a><\/span>. Held just outside of Nantwich every single year.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Gulliver\u2019s World<\/b><\/h3>\n

A rite of passage for all future adrenaline junkies<\/span>. Gulliver\u2019s World is a child-focused theme park nestled away in a leafy part of Warrington.<\/span>
\nFeaturing thrilling rides and rollercoasters, kids\u2019 climbing walls, soft play areas and other such attractions<\/span>. There\u2019s well over a full day\u2019s worth of fun to be had for the whole family! And one thing is for sure: whether you\u2019re with toddlers, infants or older children, you can expect a tranquil evening once you get home (Zzzzz\u2026).<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Delamere Forest<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re an active family that loves the outdoors, Delamere Forest offers you plenty of activities on its 2,400 acres. <\/span>This mak<\/span>es it the biggest woodland in all of Cheshire!<\/span>
\nStrap in and unleash your inner primate at Go Ape<\/span>. Lace-up those boots and set out on a long walk. <\/span>Or<\/span>, saddle up and head out on the biking trails. Don\u2019t forget to pack your picnic! (Although there is a handy cafe if the sarnies do slip your mind\u2026). If you\u2019ve got little ones to entertain, the Gruffalo orienteering course will be right up their str\u2013 trail. <\/span>Even get some keepsake snaps in front of the Gruffalo sculpture!<\/span>
\nA little bit of fresh air can do a lot of good. Delamere has plenty of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Cheshire Falconry<\/b><\/h3>\n

Bird really is the word at Cheshire Falconry.<\/span>
\nGet up-close and personal with some magnificent creatures, trying your hand (quite literally) at flying birds of prey. <\/span>Under the expert supervision of the falconry team, of course!<\/span>
\nYou\u2019ve got plenty of options to choose from, including full-day experiences and brief encounters<\/span>. So you can take it at your own pace and test the waters to see whether it\u2019s for you.\u00a0<\/span>
\nYou might just discover your new hobby!<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker<\/b><\/h3>\n

Whatever the weather, Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a safe choice. As you\u2019d hope\u2026<\/span>
\nExperience the tension and secrecy of the Cold War era at this vast underground complex<\/span>. A closely kept secret for more than 60 years! Equally enjoyable and insightful for kids and adults, it\u2019s a great way to cater for the whole family.<\/span>
\nYou\u2019ll be pleased to hear that the attraction\u2019s food offering is <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> historically accurate. No cold tins of food: the on-site canteen will give a hearty, satisfying meal that you\u2019ll remember for the right reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see, there are lots of fun, enriching attractions to visit all across Cheshire. Why not make Blue Planet Aquarium part of the trip? It\u2019s educational, exhilarating and boasts the broadest, most colourful collection of sea creatures in all of Cheshire.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
