    We aren't really shopping mall people but we needed a few things so cold in here. It was early on a Friday afternoon and it was very busy but there's lots of parking and access an exit from the site is well-controlled.

    It probably takes around half an hour to walk round the whole place obviously longer depending on how many shops you go.in Just about every brand you can think of has a presence here And I guess you can pick up a bargain or two.

    There's lots of chain eateries as well along with more independence stands so you won't go short of things to eat or drink. It's the kind of place we enjoy every so often so maybe worth a visit.

    Had a great day out. Beautifully maintained. Friendly staff. Stunning location, right in front of Liverpool airport.
    Great piece of history.

    We visited with a 3 year old and 10 month old. I remember coming here as a child around 20 years ago and I'm not sure if anything has actually changed. (Of course you can't stroke the sting rays anymore etc).

    You'll see from other reviews it's quite expensive. It cost us around £75 for the four of us which is steep considering - it's free for under 90cm but my daughter is very tall. The only plus side is my 3 year old loved it and that's really all that mattered. Take your own food as the dining area is an absolute rip off (£8 for a baguette, £26 for a pizza meal deal) - luckily we knew this before visiting. Car parking was £2.75 that you pay before visiting - annoying when you get there to see the barriers up so it could have been free.

    The place really does need some money spending on it to spruce it up a bit. You can kinda tell whoever owns it has a 'it'll do' attitude as it's all a bit drab. Honestly felt like I'd travelled back in time a little bit.

    It was great that there's a park outside - perfect if you have a toddler as you know full well they'll want to play - but half of it was boarded off and broken - why? Fix it?

    Don't bother with the gift shop unless you're wadded.

    It was on the "days out' checklist - we've done it now. But we won't be rushing back - rather go to sea life when you can get a cheeky discount voucher with a cereal box!

    The shark tunnel was as good as I remember but it's a lot of money just for that.

    Visited here today. It was great fun. Such enthusiastic volunteers. We did the air raid shelter experience, it was absolutely amazing. Thankyou to everyone there. We would strongly recommend.

    An excellent insight into what a pilot does. I had zero experience and understanding of the many controls, yet with the fantastic tuition of Peter, I was able to safely take the A320 from Manchester to Glasgow. My wife and Dad were able to sit in the cockpit too and were fascinated. Thanks to all at DSFS. for a great time.

    On March 30th I attended ATT's annual Writer's Ball. It was my first visit to ATT, an atmospheric former Victorian house secluded behind scattered trees in the middle of lush Whitby Park. The event took the form of a Showcase; short works and excerpts from larger pieces still in development staged in rooms across two floors. It really works well as a format - not only showing off the vast variety of talent and approach into which ATT tap but making an excellent introduction to their fine Whitby Hall building. Both the quality of the performances and the fascinating nature of building - for which ambitious development is planned - were tremendously impressive with the staff being helpful and accommodating to all guests. Overall an excellent venue to which I'll certainly be returning.

    I brought students from our school as part of enrichment. They have loved their 2 sessions and are looking forward to another one again tomorrow!

    I absolutely love this walk, when you walk up and round and are struck by the most magnificent view of Liverpool.

    This place is run by volunteers. If I ever needed a place for an event, I'd definitely chose this one. Highly recommended

    This is a nice place to walk your dog, plenty of areas for it to run off the lead and wooded areas for it to route around in. Quite open down by the river Gowy so gets a little windy at times but nice views across the Cheshire plain (if you don’t look towards Ellesmere Port). A few pubs to call in if your walk has given you a thirst.

    This church holds fond memories for me. My dad, Mum and Nan are buried all together under a tree by the other entrance into the church grounds. As a little girl I sung at weddings and went to Sunday school. I visit the grave of my loved ones every month and always feel a calm presence here
